Which quantity out of Delta_(r) G and Delta_(r) G^( Theta ) will be zero at equilibrium ?

Answer»

Solution :Gibbs energy for a REACTION in which all reactants and products are in standard state.
`Delta_(r) G^( THETA )` is related to the EQUILIBRIUM constant of the reaction as FOLLOWS :
`Delta_(r) G= Delta_(r) G^( Theta ) + "RT In K"`
At equilibrium, `0= Delta_(r) G^( Theta ) + "RT In k" (because Delta_(r) G= 0)`
OR
`Delta_(r) G^( Theta ) =- "RT In k"`
`Delta_(r) G^( Theta ) = 0 "when" K=1`
For all other values of `K, Delta_(r) G^( Theta )` will be non-zero.
