Which of the following is consistent with a reaction that proceeds spontaneously in the reverse direction (assume all variables are in terms of the forward direction only)? A. ΔG° = 0, Q = K
B. ΔG > 0, Q > K
C. ΔG° > 0, Q = K
D. ΔG < 0, Q > K
E. ΔG > 0, Q < K

B. ΔG > 0, Q > K

Explanation:

For reverse reaction to take place Q should be greater than K

Since reverse reaction should be spontaneous, forward reaction should be non spontaneous.

So, for forward reaction, ΔG > 0

Hence, the correct answer is B

a saline water is fed to a reverse osmosis unit at flow rate o rotameter connected to reject (retentate) line reads 8 installed in reject and permeate line reads 15.2 milli siemens/cm and 300 micro siemens/com respectively.
