Consider the graph of Gibbs free energy G vs extent of reaction. The number of statement/s from the following which are true with respect to points (a), (b) and (c) is ______
A. Reaction is spontaneous at (a) and (b)
B. Reaction is at equilibrium at point (b) and non-spontaneous at point (c)
C. Reaction is spontaneous at (a) and non-spontaneous at (c)
D. Reaction is non-spontaneous at (a) and (b)
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
For spontaneous process, , at equilibrium and for non-spontaneous process .
The relation between the change in Gibbs reaction energy and Gibbs energy can be defined as the slope of the Gibbs energy plotted against the extent of reaction at constant pressure and temperature.
At point a: Slope
Hence, reaction is spontaneous at point a.
At point b: Slope
Hence. it is the equilibrium condition.
At point c: Slope
Hence, reaction is non-spontaneous at point c.
