← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during a chemical reaction when the Gibbs free energy function reaches a minimum?
A)Equilibrium state is established✓
B)Reaction rate reaches maximum value
C)Reactant concentration is entirely depleted
D)Exothermic heat release intensifies suddenly
💡 Explanation
When Gibbs free energy reaches its minimum, the net change in energy is zero, meaning the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, establishing equilibrium because the total system energy is at its lowest state. Therefore, equilibrium is established, rather than other effects linked to dynamic shifts in reaction kinetics.
