Problem 2 : For a certain chemical reaction, the standard Gibbs free energy change (∆G°) is -50 kJ/mol at 298 K. Determine whether the reaction is spontaneous at this temperature.
Solution :
If ∆G° is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. In this case, ∆G° is -50 kJ/mol, which is negative, so the reaction is indeed spontaneous at 298 K.
