The direction of change in a reaction depends on the combined changes of entropy, heat of reaction, and temperature. If this is expressed as ∆G=∆H - T∆S, what would it mean if the value for free energy (∆G) is zero
A.The reaction is spontaneous
B.The reaction is in equilibrium
C.The reaction isn’t spontaneous
D.No reaction is possible

B. If delta G is positive the reaction will go forward, if delta G is negative it will go in reverse. I believe spontaneity is a function of activation energy which is not mentioned at all.

D, that the reaction is not possible. The direction of change is dependant on the positive or negative value of delta G, therefore a delta G value of 0 means there is no reaction.
