How is delta G related to the equilibrium constant?

1 Answer

Apr 21, 2015

The relationship is:

#DeltaG^(0)=-RTlnK#

#R# is the gas constant = #8.31"J/K""/""mol"#

#T# is the absolute temperature

#K# is the equilibrium constant

Large values of #K# result in negative values of #DeltaG# indicating reaction spontaneity.
