CHM 101 Chemical Thermodynamics Objective Question

Question

What is the equation relating ΔG, ΔG°, and the reaction quotient Q?
Options
A ΔG = ΔG° - RT ln Q
B ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q
Correct Answer
C ΔG = ΔG° × RT ln Q
D ΔG = ΔG° / RT ln Q
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The Gibbs free energy change under nonstandard conditions is given by ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q, where R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, T is absolute temperature, and Q is the reaction quotient.

Hint

The notes provide this equation.
