Question

If a reaction mixture has Q < K, what are the sign of Delta G and the direction of spontaneity?
Options
A Delta G > 0, spontaneous in reverse direction
B Delta G < 0, spontaneous in forward direction
Correct Answer
C Delta G = 0, system is at dynamic equilibrium
D Delta G < 0, nonspontaneous in forward direction
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When Q < K, the ratio Q/K < 1, making ln(Q/K) negative; thus Delta G < 0 and the reaction proceeds forward toward products.
