Hi,
Can someone explain the relationship between ΔG⁰ AND K? In other words, how do we know that we can relate the equilibrium constant directly to changes in enthalpy and entropy?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Relationship between ΔG⁰ AND K
The Kb that we are using here is not the same Kb as in acids and bases calculations. Here, we are using Boltzmann's constant, k = 1.38 x 10–23 J·K-1, to stand for Kb in free energy and entropy calculations. Hopefully this answers your question.

Re: Relationship between ΔG⁰ AND K
The K here is also a constant for all equations, and doesn't change with each reaction/molecule being used.
