    Identify the correct statement for change of Gibbs energy for a system \[(\Delta {{G}_{system}})\] at constant temperature and pressure

    A)  If \[\Delta {{G}_{system}}=0,\] the  system has attained equilibrium

    B)  If \[\Delta {{G}_{system}}=0,\] the system is still moving in a particular direction

    C)  If \[\Delta {{G}_{system}}=0,\]  the  process  is  not spontaneous

    D)  If \[\Delta {{G}_{system}}=0,\]the  process is spontaneous

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\Delta {{G}_{system}}=-T\Delta {{S}_{Total}}\] [a] If \[\Delta S=0,\] \[\Delta G=0,\] the process is in equilibrium. [b] If \[\Delta S\] is positive, \[\Delta G\] is negative, the process is spontaneous. [c] If \[\Delta S\] is negative, \[\Delta G\] is positive, the direct process is non-spontaneous.
