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.
