AIIMS 2004 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question
For the equilibrium H₂O(l) ⇌ H₂O(g) at 1 atm and 298 K,
standard free energy change is equal to zero (ΔG° = 0)
free energy change is less than zero (ΔG < 0)
standard free energy change is less than zero (ΔG° < 0)
standard free energy change is greater than zero (ΔG° > 0)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
H2O(l) === H2O(g). This is a spontaneous process at standard conditions thus, the standard free energy change must be less than zero, i.e. ΔG° < 0.
