Chemistry-Gibbs Free Energy

NEET Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): The standard Gibbs energy change, ΔrG°, is negative for a reaction that has an equilibrium constant Kp greater than 1. | Reason (R): A negative ΔrG° indicates that the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions.

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, but (R) is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The relationship ΔrG° = -RT ln Kp implies that a Kp greater than 1 results in a negative ΔrG°, indicating spontaneity, as per the NCERT context.
