Determining Reaction Spontaneity
Because a certain reaction is placed under -1.7 atmospheres of pressure at 25 ° C, K = 5.32 e -4 and the standard free energy change for the reaction is +25.8 KJ. This would lead a chemical engineer to deduce that the reaction is:
A
Approaching equilibrium
B
At equilibrium
C
Non-spontaneous
D
Spontaneous
