Reaction will go to the right.
If Keq > 1, will the reaction be Exergonic or Endergonic?
Exergonic
If Keq
Endergonic
Will an Exergonic reaction be spontaneous?
Yes
Will an Endergonic reaction be spontaneous?
No
Will an Exergonic reaction release energy to surroundings?
Yes
Will an Endergonic reaction release energy to surroundings?
No, energy is consumed.
