Question

The following questions are based on the reaction A + B ↔ C + D shown in Figure 6.4. Figure 6.4 -Which of the following terms best describes the forward reaction in Figure 6.4? A) endergonic, ∆G > 0 B) exergonic, ∆G < 0 C) endergonic, ∆G < 0 D) exergonic, ∆G > 0 E) chemical equilibrium, ∆G = 0

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best term to describe the forward reaction in Figure 6.4 is exergonic, ∆G < 0. This is because the products (C and D) have lower potential energy than the reactants (A and B), indicating that the reaction releases energy. The negative ∆G value indicates that the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
