A negative value of ${\mathbf{Δ\pm á}}^{\mathbf{°}}$for a reaction indicates that the products are favored while a positive value indicates that reactants (i.e., the starting materials) are favored.

${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$is directly related to ${\mathrm{Δ³Ò}}^{°}$and hence, the negative value of ${\mathrm{Δ³Ò}}^{°}$ also indicates that the products are favored.

The correct statement should be - The reaction is endothermic.

True, since${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$is directly related to${\mathrm{Δ³Ò}}^{°}$, a positive value of${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$corresponds to a positive value of${\mathrm{Δ³Ò}}^{°}$.

False, as the positive value of${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$indicates that the reaction favors the reactants (i.e., the reaction proceeds backward).

The value of ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{eq}}$ for a backward reaction is always less than 1.

True, Positive value of ${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$ indicates that the reactants or the starting materials are stronger than the bonds in the product.

False, the reactants are favored at equilibrium as ${\mathrm{Δ\pm á}}^{°}$is positive.
