Question

The following questions are based on the reaction A + B ↔ C + D shown in Figure 8.1. Figure 8.1 -Which of the following terms best describes the forward reaction in Figure 8.1? 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 forward reaction is exergonic because the products have lower potential energy than the reactants. ∆G is negative because the forward reaction favors the formation of products.
