Equilibrium Formulas and Rules

Gibbs Free Energy and Equilibrium Constant:
- Formula: △G° = -RT ln Keq
- Relates Gibbs free energy change (△G°) to the equilibrium constant (Keq).
Pressure-Volume Relationship:
- Formula: Kp = Kc(RT)△ⁿ
- Connects equilibrium constants in different states (Kp for gases, Kc for concentrations) and accounts for the change in moles (△ⁿ).
Equilibrium Constant from Gibbs Free Energy:
- Formula: Keq = e^(-△G°/RT)
- Establishes a direct relationship between the equilibrium constant and Gibbs free energy.
Gibbs Free Energy Components:
- Formula: △G° = △H° - T△S°
- Illustrates the relationship between change in enthalpy (△H°), temperature (T), and change in entropy (△S°) in determining Gibbs free energy.
Implication of Positive Gibbs Free Energy:
- When △G° > 0 (e.g., +20 kJ), the system favors reactants, shifting the reaction left until the reaction quotient (Q) equals Keq.
Reaction Quotient (Q):
- Q provides a measure of the current state of the reaction and is used to predict the direction of the shift toward equilibrium.
