CHM 101 Chemical Thermodynamics Objective Question

Question

What is the equation relating ΔG° and the equilibrium constant K?
Options
A ΔG° = RT ln K
B ΔG° = -RT ln K
Correct Answer
C ΔG° = -RT / ln K
D ΔG° = RT / ln K
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

At equilibrium, ΔG = 0, so ΔG° = -RT ln K. This relates standard free energy to the equilibrium constant.

Hint

The notes provide this equation.
