Question

For a spontaneous reaction under standard conditions, which of the following is true?
Options
A ΔG > 0
B ΔG < 0
Correct Answer
C ΔH = 0
D ΔS < 0
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The sign of the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) determines spontaneity under standard conditions. A negative ΔG° (ΔG° < 0) indicates the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

Hint

Spontaneous processes are those that occur without outside intervention. What is the sign of ΔG for such processes?
