what is delta g naught
Delta G is a measure of the net effect of these two concepts, and will help you predict whether or not a reaction will actually take place! Delta G naught refers to the Delta G if you were creating a given compound from its pure elemental form at standard temperature and pressure. So it's how likely a compound would form from its individual elemental components!
\[ \Delta G^o= -RT\ln K_{eq} = -nFE^o_{cell} \] âG: Gibbs Energy âG is the change of Gibbs (free) energy for a system and âGÂ° is the Gibbs energy change for a system under standard conditions (1 atm, 298K). On an energy diagram, âG can be represented as: Where âG is the difference in the energy between reactants and products. In addition âG is unaffected by external factors that change the kinetics of the reaction. For example if E a (activation energy) were to decrease in the presence of a catalyst or the kinetic energy of molecules increases due to a rise in temperature, the âG value would remain the same.
