Interpretation:
The standard free energy changeand equilibrium constant at constant pressure
Concept introduction:
The reaction quotient is the ratio of molar concentration of the ions or the partial pressure of the gaseous atoms or molecules on the product side to the molecules on the reactant side, raised to the power of their
For a general chemical reaction,
The standard free energy change of the reaction is the difference of the sum of standard free energy change of products and the sum of the standard free energy change of reactants.
The relation between free energy change and standard free energy change is as follows:
