Units for G°

[Leonardo Le Merle 1D]

Should standard reaction Gibbs free energy be expressed in joules (or kJ) per mole? Or simply in joules alone?

The textbook says the latter, whereas the solutions manual says the former.

Thanks

i'm pretty sure that the standard gibbs free energy is in joules per mole, but i could be wrong. could someone confirm?

I also think it's joules per mole, but I guess to be safe, just make sure to include all units when calculating and then seeing what cancels out in the end for the final units.

i also think its joules per mole, but when doing the calculations you'll be able to confirm

Standard Free energy change units are either Joules per mole or Kilojoules per mole.

[Deena Doan 2F]

It's usually joules per mole

I believe it is Joules per mol because the constant n in the equation delta G=nFE represents the number of electrons transferred but is represented by a unit less value.
