Problem

When a balanced chemical equation is written in the opposite direction, how do the standard Gibbs free energy change, ΔG∘\Delta G^\circ, and the equilibrium constant, KK, for the reaction change? a) ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} remains the same sign, and KK is inverted. b) ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} changes sign, and KK remains unchanged. c) ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} changes sign, and KK is inverted. d) ΔG∘\Delta G^{\circ} changes sign, and KK is squared.
