NEETChemistryChemical Kinetics
How do chemists determine the feasibility of a chemical reaction?
Options
- ABy analyzing the color change during the reaction
- BBy measuring the volume of gas produced
- CBy predicting the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG)
- DBy observing the speed of the reaction
Correct answer
C. By predicting the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG)
Step-by-step solution
The feasibility of a chemical reaction can be predicted by thermodynamics, specifically by analyzing whether ΔG is less than zero.
