CHM 101 Chemical Thermodynamics Objective Question

Question

What is the formula for calculating standard free energy change for a reaction?
Options
A ΔG° = Σ ΔG_f°(products) - Σ ΔG_f°(reactants)
Correct Answer
B ΔG° = Σ ΔG_f°(reactants) - Σ ΔG_f°(products)
C ΔG° = Σ ΔG_f°(products) + Σ ΔG_f°(reactants)
D ΔG° = (Σ ΔG_f°(products)) / (Σ ΔG_f°(reactants))
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a reaction, ΔG° = Σ n ΔG_f°(products) - Σ m ΔG_f°(reactants).

Hint

The notes provide this formula.
