NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The equilibrium constant K for a reaction is greater than 1 if the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction. | Reason (R): If ∆G⁰ < 0, then the value of e^(-∆G⁰/RT) is greater than 1.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that if ∆G⁰ < 0, then e^(-∆G⁰/RT) > 1, making K > 1, which implies the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
