2028289549Relating ΔG° to K(eq) with Equations• ΔG° = -RT∙ln(K(eq)) • K(eq) = e^(-ΔG°/RT) • ΔG° must be in J/mol • T must be in K • K(eq) must be calculated using partial pressures for gases and molar concentrations for aqueous species35
2028331544Estimations of Equilibrium Expressions• RT ≈ 2400 J/mol @ standard states • ΔG° >> 2400 J/mol, then K << 1 • 2400 J/mol > ΔG° > -2400 J/mol, then K≈1 • ΔG°<< -2400 J/mol, then K >> 136
