Chad concludes the chapter on Thermodynamics with a lesson on the relationship between Gibbs Free Energy and the Equilibrium Constant. The lesson begins with a discussion of the mathematical relationship between the nonstandard free energy change, the standard free energy change, and the reaction quotient.
Delta G = Delta G (standard) + RTlnQ
An example calculation of the change in Gibbs free energy under nonstandard conditions is performed. This equation also allows us to draw the following three conclusions:
1. If Q is less than K, then Delta G is negative.
2. If Q is greater than K, then Delta G is positive.
3. If Q is equal to K, then Delta G = 0.
The relationship between the standard Gibbs free energy change and the equilibrium constant is then derived from this equation.
Delta G (standard) = -RTlnK
This equation can be used to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change at a particular temperature from the equilibrium constant, or to calculate the equilibrium constant at a particular temperature from the standard Gibbs free energy change. An example calculation of the latter is performed.
Finally, a graphical representation of Gibbs free energy vs reaction progress is presented. A number of thermodynamic quantities are identified on the graph including the standard Gibbs free energy change, nonstandard delta G, the equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient.
