Question

Which of the following statements is false?

(a) The reaction tends to go in the forward direction if ∆G is large and positive

(b) The reaction tends to move in the backward direction if ∆G is large and negative

(c) The system is at equilibrium if ∆G = 0

(d) The reaction tends to move in the backward direction if ∆G is large and positive

I have been asked this question during an online exam.

The above asked question is from Bioenergetics and Thermodynamics topic in division Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) The reaction tends to move in the backward direction if ∆G is large and positive

For explanation I would say: The reaction tends to move in the backward direction if ∆G is large and negative.
