Which outcome occurs when a reversible catalytic reaction reaches minimum Gibbs Free Energy at constant temperature and pressure?

A)Reaction rates equalize exhibiting dynamic equilibrium✓

B)Catalyst structural change inducing permanent deactivation

C)Forward reaction ceases due to thermodynamic limitations

D)Reactant concentration increase driving product deviation

💡 Explanation

When minimum Gibbs Free Energy is reached, the forward and reverse reactions proceed at equal rates within a dynamic equilibrium because the system is at its lowest energy state. Therefore the reaction rates equalize results, rather than deactivation, cessation, or deviation which would imply incomplete reaction.
