Chapter 18, Problem 15SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Under which set of condition is ${\text{ΔG}}_{\text{rxn}}$ for the reaction $\text{A (g)}\to \text{B (g)}$ most likely to be negative

Concept introduction:

The change in Gibbs free energy is defined as the $\text{ΔG=ΔH}-\text{TΔS}$ at constant temperature and pressure. When ${\text{ΔG}}_{\text{rxn}}$ is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous and also called as exergonic.
