True or false and explain why:
Entropy is 0 for elements under standard conditions, Delta G and Delta G^0 are equal when a system is at equilibrium.
When Qp = Kp: | G = 0 |
The relationship between the free energy of reaction at any moment in time (G) and the standard-state free energy of reaction (Go) is described by the following equation.
G = Go + RT ln Q
In this equation, R is the ideal gas constant in units of J/mol-K, T is the temperature in kelvin, ln represents a logarithm to the base e, and Q is the reaction quotient at that moment in time.
True.
As we have seen, the driving force behind a chemical reaction is zero (G = 0) when the reaction is at equilibrium (Q = K).
