Which of the following is true, if the transition of a system results in positive Gibbs free energy change?(a) It is a spontaneous reaction(b) Free energy of products is less(c) It is a non-spontaneous reaction(d) Free energy of reactants is moreThis question was addressed to me in examination.This is a very interesting question from Modern Theory Principles in section Modern Theory Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (c) It is a non-spontaneous reaction

To explain: If the transition of a system from ONE state to another state resulted in positive free ENERGY change then it is known as a non-spontaneous reaction. It means the free energy of reactants is less than the free energy of products. It requires external HEAT or FORCE to proceeds with the reaction.
