Question
Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between equilibrium constant (Keq) and ΔG?
Explanation
ΔG° = -RT ln(Keq) accurately describes the key difference, similarity, or comparative feature asked about in this question. In Bioenergetics, the ability to compare and contrast related concepts is essential for deeper understanding. The distinguishing feature described by ΔG° = -RT ln(Keq) reflects fundamental differences in structure, function, mechanism, or origin between the compared entities. The other options (ΔG° = RT ln(Keq), ΔG° = -2RT ln(Keq), and ΔG° = R ln(Keq)) either state incorrect comparisons, confuse the properties of the entities being compared, or describe features that are actually shared rather than different.
