Question:
If delta G is negative and a reaction is not occuring what could be the cause?
Answer:
If delta G is negative, the reaction has to occur spontaneously without any energy requirement. Any reaction which does not occur spontaneously requires certain amount of energy to take it forward. The reason why certain reacctions require energy is that the reactants might have low activation energy to react amongst themselves until energy drags them to do so.
