Justify the following statements :
Reaction with `Delta G^() lt 0` always have an equilibrium constant greater than 1.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Delta G^(@) = -2.303 RT log K`
If `K gt 1, Delta G^(@)` will be less than zero because products formed are more than that of reactants, i.e., process is spontaneous in the forward direction
