Question
What is the value of the equilibrium constant for a reaction for which $\Delta G^{\circ}=0 ?$ What will happen to the composition of the system if we begin the reaction with the pure products?
Step 1
According to the equation $\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K$, where R is the gas constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin, if $\Delta G^{\circ}$ is zero, then $\ln K = 0$. Show more…
