What two predictions can be made based on knowledge of the sign and magnitude of the free energy change of a chemical reaction?

Options

  1. APrediction of the reaction rate and activation energy
  2. BPrediction of the products formed and reaction mechanism
  3. CPrediction of the spontaneity of the reaction and the useful work that could be extracted
  4. DPrediction of the reaction order and the equilibrium constant

Correct answer

C. Prediction of the spontaneity of the reaction and the useful work that could be extracted

Step-by-step solution

Knowledge of the sign and magnitude of the free energy change of a chemical reaction allows for the prediction of the spontaneity of the reaction and the useful work that could be extracted from it.
