Assertion: `Delta G = Delta G^(@)` + `2.303` RT log Q, where Q is reaction quotient.
Reason: Q may be greater or lesser than `K_(c)` but equal to `K_(c)` if `Delta G =0` .

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer

B

Explanation

`Q lt K_(c)` forward reaction
`Q gt K_(c)` backward reaction
`Q = K_(c)` if `Delta = 0`
