 Consider the following reaction of glucose:

C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2(g) ç è 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

Assume at time t = 0, you have 1 mole of glucose in the presence of excess O2 (g) and no products. For the reaction above, at time t = 0,

 

 

Value

> or <

favors/disfavors

D G

< 0

Favor (you know reaction goes irrev.)

D Gostab

< 0

Favor (Since irreversible, products must be more stable)

D Gconc

< 0

Favor (no products at t = 0)

D H

< 0

Favor (exothermic)

D S

> 0

Favor (disorder increases)

Keq

> 1

Favor (no glucose left at eq.)
