equilibrium and K
« on: August 19, 2005, 10:18:11 AM »
at equilibrium, G=0, does K =1?
G=-RTlnK

0 = -RTln1

and ln1 equals 0...?
yes....

Mathematically yes..   0= -RTlnK   divide out -R and T   0=lnK    raise each side by e

e0 = elnK     1=K

yes....
G = G' + RTlnK
at eqm, G = 0
G' = -RTlnK

From winga's post  I am wrong, but with the equation I was given my statement was true.  But thank you Winga for clearing up the equation....its been awhile since I used it...so I answered it without realizing that G' is to be included.
