For a spontaneous process at constant T and P, the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) must be ________.

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Zero
  4. Infinite

Answer: Negative

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. If ΔG < 0, process is spontaneous; ΔG > 0, non-spontaneous; ΔG = 0, equilibrium. Unifies enthalpy and entropy for predicting reaction feasibility. [[NCERT Chemistry Class 11]]
