Problem

Reaction X has ΔG∘=−1.7 kJ mol−1\Delta G^\circ = -1.7\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}, and Reaction Y has ΔG∘=+1.8 kJ mol−1\Delta G^\circ = +1.8\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1} at 298 K298\,\text{K}. For each reaction, state whether its equilibrium constant is greater than 1, less than 1, or approximately equal to 1, and indicate which reaction’s KK is closer to 1.
