Consider the reaction: 2A(g) + B(g) → 2C(g) If ΔG° = −5.4 kJ/mol at T = 25°C and PA = PB = 1 atm and PC = 4 atm, which of the following statements is correct? (R = 8.314 J/K • mol) This reaction favors the products because ΔG > 0. K < 1, because ΔG° < 0. Under the current conditions, ΔG > 0. Hence, this reaction will go in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium. K < 1, because ΔG > 0.

Question
Consider the reaction: 2A(g) + B(g) → 2C(g)

If ΔG° = −5.4 kJ/mol at T = 25°C and PA = PB = 1 atm and PC = 4 atm, which of the following statements is correct? (R = 8.314 J/K • mol)

This reaction favors the products because ΔG > 0.
K < 1, because ΔG° < 0.
Under the current conditions, ΔG > 0. Hence, this reaction will go in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
K < 1, because ΔG > 0.
