Unit for Pressure in delta G equation
For this equation: deltaG = deltaG knot + RTlnQ. If we are given the pressure to find Q, what would be the unit for the pressure? I am refering to 5G.13

Re: Unit for Pressure in delta G equation
I'm not completely sure, but I think for this question, since the given pressures would be used to find Qp, the units of bars would cancel out since Q has no units (and because it's products/reactants, so units would cancel) , so as long as the two pressures have the same units, I don't think it matters. Can someone confirm this? Thanks in advance!

Re: Unit for Pressure in delta G equation
Yes as long as the two pressures given are the same units then it doesn't matter because when we did chemical equilibrium we also used bars for pressure. So it will continue to be the same here. Hope this helps!
