Is it true that when delta Go is positive, Keq MUST be less than 1 as you
will see much more reactant than product?
<br></font><font color="#000000"> 
Yes, less than one; and yes, at equilibrium.

In problem 4-2, what is the relation of Keq to the concentrations 
of starting material?</font>   Keq is independent of starting concentrations. 
Delta G-zero and Keq are both constants, defined independently of starting 
concentrations. Delta G is different -- it depends on what concentrations 
you start with. One point of the question is to drive home that Keq doesn't 
change if you change starting concentrations.
