For the reaction Ya`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.
