Stella Valencia · Answer 1

the equilibrium constant is equal to 1 (i. e., the reactant and product concentrations are always equal).

Explanation:

ΔG is a symbol related to Gibbs free energy, which is a physical quantity related to thermodynamics. ΔG refers to the difference between the change in enthalpy (and sometimes entropy) and the temperature of a chemical reaction.

Gibbs free energy is very useful for measuring the work done between the reactants in a reaction. It is calculated using the formula: ΔG = change in enthalpy - (temperature x change in entropy).

The ΔG of a reaction would have a minimum value (zero), if the equilibrium constant is equal to 1 (that is, the concentrations of the reagent and the product are always equal).
