- Given each value, determine whether the starting material or product is favored at equilibrium. a. Keq = 0.5 b. ΔG° = −100 kJ/mol c. ΔH° = 8.0 kJ/mol d. Keq = 16 e. ΔG° = 2.0 kJ/mol f. ΔH° = 200 kJ/mol g. ΔS° = 8 J/(K · mol) h. ΔS° = −8 J/(K · mol)arrow_forwardFor each of the following processes predict the sign of AS for the reaction. In other words, will AS sys be positive (an increase in entropy) or negative (a decrease in entropy)? AS sys is expected to be positive (an increase in entropy) because one molecule is converted into two molecules. AS sys is expected to be negative (a decrease in entropy) because a cyclic compound is converted into acyclic compounds. O AS sys is expected to be positive (an increase in entropy) because an acyclic compound is converted into cyclic compounds. O AS sys is expected to be negative (a decrease in entropy) because two molecules are converted into one molecule.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
