Question

Transcribed Image Text:If there are two chemical reactions: #1 with change in Gibbs
free energy of -25 kJ/mol; and #2 with a change in Gibbs free
energy of -5 kJ/mol which one is more spontaneous?
O #1 since it has a lower change in Gibbs free energy
Both reactions will proceed at the same rate since they are both
favorable
O There is not enough information to solve this problem
O #2 since it has a higher change in Gibbs free energy
