Which of the following statements is true? A) If a reaction has $\Delta$G_r $\circ$ = 275 kJ.mol^-¹, it must proceed rapidly toward equilibrium. B) All endothermic reactions are nonspontaneous. C) The value of $\Delta$G_r $\circ$ is not dependent on temperature. D) A spontaneous reaction for which the entropy change is negative is entropy driven. E) If a certain reaction is spontaneous, it is not spontaneous in the reverse direction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reaction's spontaneity in one direction implies non-spontaneity in the reverse direction due to the thermodynamic principle that if the forward reaction is spontaneous (negative ΔG), the reverse reaction must have a positive ΔG, making it non-spontaneous.
