हिन्दीWhat is the thermodynamic criterion for a reaction mixture to have a tendency to proceed spontaneously in the forward direction?
Correct answer · Option 3
\( \Delta G < 0 \) and \( Q < K \)
Explanation
When \( \Delta G < 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction. This corresponds to the condition \( Q < K \), where \( \Delta G = RT \ln(Q/K) < 0 \).
