How are the questions using ΔG°=-RT ln k phrased?

For the calculations comparing the ratio of two conformations using ΔG° = -RT ln K, is that going to be in the final?
If it is, how are the questions usually phrased?

I would assume that if something like this appeared on the final, it would look similar to the example done in class.
The three variables are standard G of both conformations, and K. A problem like this would either have us calculate the relative G of one conformation, or K, and would have to give us two of these values in order to find the third.

will we have to memorize the different ∆G values for the different conformations?

I dont think we have to memorize the deltaG's. The questions will probably give us deltaG or give us other variables to solve for it.
