Formula and explanation

Formula: Δ r G m = Δ r G m^(⊖) + RT ln Q or Δ r G m = - RT ln K + RT ln Q Applicable Conditions: Chemical reactions under constant temperature and pressure. Explanation: Describes the relationship between the Gibbs free energy change of reaction Δ r G m, the standard Gibbs free energy change Δ r G m^(⊖), and the reaction quotient Q. Can be used to determine the direction of reaction: Δ r G m < 0 indicates spontaneous forward reaction.
