the following statement is false. Rewrite that it makes a correct statement about free energy.
a. ΔGuniverse > 0 for any spontaneous process.
dGsystem < 0 for any spontaneous process.
To rewrite the statement in a way that makes a correct statement about free energy, we need to make sure the signs are correct.
The original statement, "ΔGuniverse > 0 for any spontaneous process," is actually incorrect. The correct statement should be:
"ΔGuniverse < 0 for any spontaneous process."
This revised statement accurately describes the sign of the change in the Gibbs free energy (∆G) for any spontaneous process. In spontaneous processes, the Gibbs free energy change is negative (∆G < 0), indicating that the process is energetically favorable.
