Q6

Free energy changes for two reaction mechanism 'X' and 'Y are respectively - 15 and - 5 units. It implies that X is

A.
Slower than Y
B.
Faster than Y
Answer
C.
Three times slower than Y
D.
Three times faster than Y

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
As, we know the relation      where  reaction quotient, higher the value of gibbs free energy change higher is the value of faster is the rate of the reaction.
