Question

If ΔG is greater than about + 20 kJ this means:
  1. the equilibrium constant is so large that virtually all the reactant has become product and the reaction goes to completion
  2. the reaction is at equilibrium
  3. the equilibrium constant is so small that virtually no product is formed and the reaction does not occur
  4. there is no link between delta G and the equilibrium constant
  5. it is impossible to tell from the information given

Standard Free Energy and Equilibrium constant: The change in free energy for a reaction taking place between gaseous reactants and products represented by general equation.
ΔG=ΔG+R T lnQP the condition for a system to be at equilibrium is that
ΔG=0 and Qp=KP
Thus at equilibrium
ΔG=R T lnKP
Note: In the reaction, where all gaseous reactants and products; K represents KP, we may conclude that for standard reactions, i.e., at 1 M or 1 atm
When ΔG=ve or K>1: forward reaction is feasible
ΔG=+ve or K<1: reverse reaction is feasible
ΔG=0 or K=1: reaction is at equilibrium (very rare)
