Wired Faculty App

Identify the correct statement for the change of Gibbs energy for a system (ΔGsystem) at constant temperature and pressure

  • If ΔGsystem > 0, the process is spontaneous

  • If ΔGsystem =0, the system has attained equilibrium

  • If ΔGsystem < 0, the system is still moving in a particular direction

  • If ΔGsystem < 0, the process is not spontaneous

Answer

B.

If ΔGsystem =0, the system has attained equilibrium

If the Gibbs free energy for a system (ΔGsystem) is equal to zero, then system is present in equilibrium at a constant temperature and pressure.
