Chapter 6.7, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the two reactions, one with Keq=1000 and other with Keq=0.001, which is likely to be more exergonic is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

When ΔG0 is negative, the reaction is exergonic, has a favorable equilibrium constant and occurs spontaneously. When ΔG0 is positive, the reaction is endergonic, has an unfavorable equilibrium constant and cannot occur spontaneously.

To state:

Among the two reactions, one with Keq=1000 and other with Keq=0.001, which is likely to be more exergonic.
