Hey guys, I had a question about a problem in Chapter 6 of the General Chem Kaplan book, concept check 6.1, question #1.
Given:
Q = 5.0 x 10^-2
Keq = 5.0 x 10^-3
The question then asks what the sign of the free energy change (delta G) would be.
My logic was that since the Q > Keq, the reaction will proceed to the left to reform more reactants in order to reach equilibrium. The answer key says the delta G of the reaction would be positive. But I am confused, because I thought that if...
