Determining Reaction Spontaneity
A reaction is carried out at a pressure of -1.7 atmospheres and a temperature of 25 °C. If the equilibrium constant is K = 5.32e-4 and the standard free energy change is +25.8 kJ, it can be deduced that the reaction is:
A
At equilibrium
B
Nonspontaneous
C
Approaching equilibrium
D
Spontaneous
