NEET Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Gibbs free energy change is zero for a reaction at equilibrium.
Reason (R): At equilibrium, the chemical potential of reactants equals that of products.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy change is zero because the system is at its lowest free energy state, which is when the chemical potentials of reactants and products are equal.
