Units for delta G

[Riya Sood 4G]

When calculating dela G= -(n)(F)(Ecell), will the units for delta G be KJ/mol or just KJ?

[Asha Agarwal 1E]

The units will just be in kJ since the units in n and F cancel in terms of moles.

[VPatankar_2L]

Since one Faraday is 96485 C/mol, it can be multiplied by n (moles) in the equation delta G = -nFE to just get kJ.

[Alice Chang 2H]

The units will just be in kJ since the units in n and F cancel in terms of moles.

I thought ∆G was in units of kJ since the textbook omits the assumed "/mol" part. A TA mentioned this to me as well in a previous topic. Was I wrong this whole time?

[RobertXu_2J]

Gibbs free ENERGY. delta G is literally referring to a change in energy, so it has the same units as those for energy, which is joules, so the answer would be kJ (kilojoules). Additionally, if you use the equation, you will find that it is kJ

[Kayla Maldonado 1C]

Since one Faraday is 96485 C/mol, it can be multiplied by n (moles) in the equation delta G = -nFE to just get kJ.

What are the units for E and how do we get to Joules from coulombs?

[BAlvarado_1L]

delta G is given in kJ

[Rodrigo2J]

the unites for delta G would be kilojoules.

What are the units for E and how do we get to Joules from coulombs?

The units for E are Volts, and one Volt = 1 J/C. So, when you multiply n (moles) by F (C/mol) and E ( V = J/C) you get J.

[Jasmine W 1K]

The unit would be kJ.

What is the difference between delta g naught and delta g?

[Riya Sood 4G]

What is the difference between delta g naught and delta g?

Delta G naught is for standard conditions at 25 degree celsius, 1 atm, 1 M. Delta G is for non-standard conditions.

[Caroline Beecher 2H]

What is the difference between delta g naught and delta g?

The units when you are talking about delta G naught would be kilojoules per mole, whereas under nonstandard conditions the units for delta G would be just kilojoules.

[BAlvarado_1L]

Your answer will be given in KJ

[Alan Cornejo 1a]

Your units in the end, end up canceling eachother out with the exception of kj which is what you are calculating for deltaG.

[Nicoli Peiris 1B]

The units would kJ since the other units cancel.

[Alison Perkins 2B]

the moles will cancel between n (mol) and F (C/mol) so it will be in kJ

[Halle Villalobos 3E]

Hi! Delta G is given in kJ.

[SLai_1I]

The unit for delta G is just kJ.

[SahajDole_1C]

The units would be in kJ

[Lesly Lopez 3A]

The unites for delta G would be kilojoules. Follow up question: this is what units for an answer right? Like if it was in J that it is for sure that you need to convert to kj right?

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

It would just be in kJ i believe.

[jia207]

Delta G units would be in kj!

[DMaya_2G]

The units for delta G are just in kj.

[emwoodc]

The units for delta G are almost always kj

[LarisaAssadourian2K]

They would just be in kJ once all the units cancel out.

[Ava Nickman]

units are kJ

[Inderpal Singh 2L]

I think delta G is always in kJ.

[Brandon Le 3C]

In the equation delta G = -nFEcell, the n = mol e-, F = 96485 J/V.mol e-, and Ecell = V. When these variables are multiplied, the mol e- and V cancel out, leaving just the J. However, the question may ask you to convert from J to kJ, in which 1000 J = 1 kJ.

[Aria Movassaghi 1A]

once things cancel out, we are just left with kj for units

[aashmi_agrawal_3d]

The units would be kJ.

[nayha a 1E]

The units for delta G should be in kJ.
