A reaction that begins spontaneously progressively becomes less spontaneous as the reaction proceeds. Consider the equation below and explain this
tendency.
AG = AG° + RTIN([Product]/[Reactant])
O P/R decreases so RTIN(P/R) is larger
O The reaction loses thermal energy with time
O P/R increases so RTIN(P/R) is larger
O There is less reactant so entropy increases
