Practice question
Question
The equilibrium constant (Keq) is related to Gibbs free energy by which equation?
Explanation
ΔG = -RT ln(Keq) correctly identifies the graphical representation, mathematical relationship, or plot parameter described in this question. In Thermodynamics, graphical analysis transforms complex kinetic or biological data into linear relationships that allow precise determination of key parameters. The specific feature described by ΔG = -RT ln(Keq) is derived from the mathematical transformation of the underlying equation and has a defined physical meaning. The other options (ΔH = -RT ln(Keq), ΔS = R ln(Keq), and Keq = RT ln(ΔG)) represent different parameters, intercepts, or slopes from either the same or different analytical methods.
