Chapter 18.6, Problem 2CP

Consider the reaction:

$\text{X}(g)\text{ + Y(g) }\rightleftarrows \text{ Z(}g\text{)}$

for which $\Delta$ G $°$ = -1.2 kJ/mol at $\text{25°C}$. Without knowing the pressures of the reactants and the product, we know that this reaction

a)

is spontaneous as written.

b)

is nonspontaneous as written.

c)

favors reactants at equilibrium.

d)

favors products at equilibrium.

e)

is at equilibrium.
