Which of the following statements about Gibbs free energy and equilibrium is correct?
A
A negative Gibbs free energy change indicates that a reaction is spontaneous and can occur in the forward direction.
B
A positive Gibbs free energy change always means the reaction cannot occur under any circumstances.
C
The value of Gibbs free energy change does not depend on the temperature or concentration of reactants and products.
D
A reaction at equilibrium will have a Gibbs free energy change of zero and can still proceed in both directions.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
A negative Gibbs free energy change indicates that the reaction is spontaneous and can proceed in the forward direction, as highlighted in the context of thermodynamic principles.
