The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements regarding Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and determine which one is not correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)**: - Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that helps predict the direction of chemical reactions and phase changes. - The sign of ΔG indicates whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "ΔG is 0 for a reversible reaction." - This is correct. At equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is 0, indicating that the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. - **Statement 2**: "ΔG is positive for a spontaneous reaction." - This is incorrect. A spontaneous reaction has a negative ΔG, meaning it can occur without external input. - **Statement 3**: "ΔG is negative for a spontaneous reaction." - This is correct. A negative ΔG indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. - **Statement 4**: "ΔG is positive for a non-spontaneous reaction." - This is correct. A positive ΔG indicates that the reaction is non-spontaneous and requires energy input to occur. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only incorrect statement is Statement 2, which claims that ΔG is positive for a spontaneous reaction. ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct is: "ΔG is positive for a spontaneous reaction." ---
