To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "For every chemical reaction at equilibrium, standard Gibbs energy of the reaction is zero." - At equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the reaction is indeed zero, but this does not imply that the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG°) is also zero. The standard Gibbs energy change is a constant value for a given reaction under standard conditions and does not change with the state of the reaction (i.e., whether it is at equilibrium or not). - Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. ...
