NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is the relationship between the Gibbs energy change (∆ r G°) and the equilibrium constant (K) for a reaction at standard state conditions?
Options
- A∆ r G° = RT ln K
- B∆ r G° = – RT ln K
- C∆ r G° = 2.303 RT log K
- D∆ r G° = – 2.303 RT log K
Correct answer
B. ∆ r G° = – RT ln K
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between the Gibbs energy change (∆ r G°) and the equilibrium constant (K) for a reaction at standard state conditions is given by ∆ r G° = – RT ln K.
