Question
What energy requirements must be met in order for a reaction to be favorable?
Step 1
Spontaneous reactions are favorable and non-spontaneous reactions are unfavorable. This can be determined by the change in free energy (ΔG). If ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous. Show more…
