why the reactions for delta_rG is negative are feasible and why such reactions tend to proceed in a preferred direction??

Open in App

Solution

A negative delta G value means that the reaction is exothermic and the entropy is larger, therefore in a reaction with negative delta G energy of the products will be low and the reaction will proceed in the product's direction until equilibrium is established.
