How can pairs of spontaneously coupled reactions be predicted?
A)by subtracting the smaller from the larger ∆G
B)by summing the ∆G°s for each reaction
C)by adding the ∆S values for each reaction at constant temperature
D)by determining if the absolute value of the positive ∆G°' must be larger than the value of the negative ∆G°'

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prediction of coupled reactions is based on the sum of the standard free energy changes (∆G°) for each reaction. If the overall ∆G° is negative, the reactions can be coupled spontaneously.
