Question

What is the relationship between the reaction quotient Q, the equilibrium constant K, and Delta G for a system not at equilibrium?
Options
A Delta G = RT ln(K / Q)
B Delta G = RT ln(Q / K)
Correct Answer
C Delta G = -RT ln(Q * K)
D Delta G = (RT / 2) ln(Q - K)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The free energy change relative to equilibrium position is given by Delta G = RT ln(Q / K).
