## Derivations of Equations

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \Delta H^{\circ} - T \Delta S^{\circ}$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= -RT\ln K$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(products) - \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(reactants)$

### Derivations of Equations

For the midterm, are we going to need to know how to derive the Gibb's free energy formula?

I don't think so. I think he said we don't have to in class.

### Re: Derivations of Equations

The derivations are just nice to know in order to understand the relationships of each term with another, but it's not necessary for the midterm.

I agree with Vincent.

### Re: Derivations of Equations

I doubt that we would have to know any other equation other than those provided on the equation sheets. The derivations are taught most likely to provide a basis of understanding on where the equation came from and how they relate to one another, rather than just name dropping a formula.

### Re: Derivations of Equations

The Van't Hoff equation isn't on the equation sheet, so that derivation would probably be nice to remember.
