JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 6. Thermodynamics (C)

Statement 1 For every chemical reaction at equilibrium, standard Gibbs energy of reaction is zero.
Statement 2 At constant temperature and pressure, chemical reactions are spontaneous in the direction of decreasing Gibbs energy.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

(D) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At equilibrium, its free energy change, is zero and for a spontaneous process, \(\Delta G < 0\) but at equilibrium standard free energy is not zero.
