Question

For the reaction conducted at 300 K below, 1.0 atm of A was placed in a chamber, and the equilibrium pressure of B was determined to be 0.4 atm. Based on this information answer the following:

A (g) <---->2 B (g)

 If the same reaction were performed and the partial pressure of A was 0.6 atm when DG=18 kJ/mole, what would be the pressure of B? Is the reaction spontaneous in the forward or reverse direction at this point of the reaction?
