Match Column I with Column II and mark the appropriate option:

Column I
(Term)

Column II
(Conditions)

(A). Equilibrium

(i). G>0, K<1

(B). Spontaneous reaction

(ii). G=0

(C). Non-spontaneous reaction

(iii). G<0, K>1

Codes:

Options:  A   B   C 
1.  (ii)  (iii)  (i)
2.  (i)  (ii)  (iii)
3.  (ii)  (i)  (iii)
4.  (iii)  (i)  (ii)

 
Hint: The relation between ∆rGo and K is ∆rGo= – RT ln K
A. G is 0, the reaction has achieved equilibrium: at this point, there is no longer any free energy left to drive the reaction.
B. If G<0, then K>1 which implies a spontaneous reaction or the reaction which proceeds in the forward direction to such an extent that the products are present predominantly.
C. If G>0, then K<1, which implies a non-spontaneous reaction or a reaction that proceeds in the forward direction to such a small degree that only a very minute quantity of product is formed.
