For the reaction Y->X at standard conditions with [Y] = 1 M and [X] = 1 M, ?G is initially a large negative number. As the reaction proceeds, [Y] decreases and [X] increases until the system reaches equilibrium

How do the values of ?G and ?G° change as the reaction equilibrates? (a) ?G becomes less negative and ?G° stays the same. (b) ?G becomes positive and ?G° becomes positive. (c) ?G stays the same and ?G° becomes less negative. (d) ?G reaches zero and ?G° becomes more negative.
