Question

You are studying a particular reaction under conditions in which the ?G = 12 kJ/mol. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The reaction is energetically favorable and will occur spontaneously.

B. The reaction is not energetically favorable and will require an enzyme to occur.

C. The reaction is not energetically favorable and will not occur in this case.

D. The reaction is at a dynamic equilibrium between the forward and reverse processes.

E. The rate of the reaction is very slow.

Please explain the answer and why it is not B, thank you!

Explanation / Answer

since,
(delta G) > 0
so, reaction is not energetically favorable
and so, it will not occur in this case
but if we provide enzyme reaction will take place

so, B and C are true statements
Answer : B , C
