Which of the following reactions has a positive ΔG at standard conditions?
Correct Answer: Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
- Step 1: Understand what ΔG means. ΔG is the change in free energy of a reaction.
- Step 2: Know that a positive ΔG indicates a non-spontaneous reaction under standard conditions.
- Step 3: Identify the reaction in question, which is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
- Step 4: Recognize that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide does not occur spontaneously under standard conditions.
- Step 5: Conclude that since the reaction is non-spontaneous, it has a positive ΔG.
