If the ΔG of a reaction was -31.45 kJoules, you would know that: A. the products have more free energy than the reactants. B. the reaction requires an energy input of 31.45 kJoules to proceed. C. the reaction most likely leads to the development of a more ordered system. D. the reaction is spontaneous.

If the ΔG (change in Gibbs Free Energy) of the reaction was -31.45 kJoules, you would know that the reaction is spontaneous, releasing energy. The products have more free energy than the reactants. The reaction most likely is coupled to another exergonic reaction. The reaction requires an energy input of 31.45 kJoules to produce a product.
