Relation Between Standard Free Energy Change And Equilibrium Constant
Electrochemistry of Class 12
∴ Keq [ as Ecell = 0]
∴ = RT ln Keq
−ΔG° = RT ln Keq
∴ ΔG° = −2.303 RT log Keq
[Note: This relation is valid for any equilibrium constant like Kw, Kp, Kc, Ksp etc.]
Some other important relations involving enthalpy change and entropy change are
(a) ΔH = nF where dE/dT is called as temperature coefficient representing the change of EMF with the change of temperature, n is the number of moles of electrons involved, F is one Faraday, E is the EMF of cell at temperature T and T is the absolute temperature.
(b) ΔS = nF(dE/dT)
