Connect Gibbs energy with equilibrium constants

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Equilibrium position from Gibbs sign

A standard Gibbs calculation in a school extension laboratory gives a positive \(\Delta G^\circ\). What does this imply about \(K\)? Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
