How to Calculate and Solve for Equilibrium Constant for Free Energy | Corrosion

Last Updated on August 3, 2022

The equilibrium constant for free energy is illustrated by the image below.

To compute for equilibrium constant for free energy, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Change in Free Energy (ΔG°), Gas Constant (R) and Temperature (T).

The formula for calculating equilibrium constant for free energy:

K = exp(ΔG°/RT)

Where:

K = Equilibrium Constant for Free Energy
ΔG° = Change in Free Energy
R = Gas Constant
T = Temperature

Let’s solve an example;
Find the equilibrium constant for free energy when the change in free energy is 14, the gas constant is 10 and the temperature is 2.

This implies that;

ΔG° = Change in Free Energy = 14
R = Gas Constant = 10
T = Temperature = 2

K = exp(ΔG°/RT)
K = exp(14/(10)(2))
K = exp(14/20)
K = exp(0.7)
K = 2.0137

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for free energy is 2.0137.
