Which of the following statements is correct for a reversible process in a state of equilibrium?
- G = -2.30 RT K
- G = 2.30 RT K
- G = -2.30 RT K
- G = 2.30 RT K
Answer
(1) G = -2.30 RT K
Solution
For a reaction, G = G + 2.303 RT Q
At equilibrium, G = 0 and Q = K
⇒ 0 = G + 2.303 RT K
⇒ G = -2.303 RT K -2.30 RT K
Answer: (1)
