reaction at equilibrium

[Clara Cho 2K]

why is delta G equal to zero when a reaction is at equilibrium?

[KeyaV1C]

Since Gibbs free energy is a measure of energy available to do work, when the reaction is at equilibrium, no more work is being done and therefore delta G is 0.

[Aman Sankineni 2L]

No work is being done at equilibrium so the delta G value is 0.

[Tiffany Chao 2H]

We calculate delta G by doing G of products - G of reactants. If at equilibrium, the G between products and reactants doesn't change. Therefore, delta G = 0

[Esha Chawla 2E]

why is delta G equal to zero when a reaction is at equilibrium?

Gibbs Free Energy is a measure of the reaction's tendency to proceed in a given direction (i.e. towards the reactants or towards the products). Since neither side of the reaction is favored at equilibrium, delta G is equal to 0.

[Harry Zhang 1B]

Delta G is zero when an equation is at equilibrium because it has no tendency to shift to the reactant or product side but rather just stay as it is.

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

No work is being done at equilibrium and delta g represents the energy left to do work. Therefore, delta g is 0.
