Concept

# Problem: The value of G° for a reaction conducted at 25 °C is 2.8 kJ/mol The equilibrium constant for a reaction is __________ at this temperature?

###### FREE Expert Solution

We’re being asked to determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction , K at 25 ˚C

Recall that ΔG and K are related to each other:

$\overline{){\mathbf{\Delta G}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{rxn}}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{-}}{\mathbf{RTlnK}}}$

We’re given:

R = 8.314 J/mol • K

ΔG° = 2.8 kJ

T = 25 ˚C + 273.15 = 298.15 K
