The

Question

The $\Delta$G for a reaction can be calculated by using $\Delta$G$^\circ$ and adding in
A) entropy, enthalpy, and the log of the ratio of reactants to products.
B) entropy, enthalpy, pH, and the log of the ratio of the reactants to products.
C) the gas constant, absolute temperature, and the log of the ratio of the reactants to products.
D) the log of the ratio of the reactants to products.
E) the gas constant, absolute temperature, pH, and the log of the ratio of the reactants to products.

Accepted Answer

The $$\Delta$$G for a reaction can be calculated using the formula: $$\Delta$$G = $$\Delta$$G⁰ + RT ln(Q), where Q is the reaction quotient. This formula only requires the gas constant (R), absolute temperature (T), and the logarithm of the ratio of reactants to products (ln(Q)). Therefore, answer choices A, B, and E are incorrect since they include additional factors such as entropy, enthalpy, and pH, which are not necessary. Choice D is also incorrect since it only includes the logarithm of the ratio of reactants to products, but does not account for the standard free energy change ($$\Delta$$G⁰).
