Meaning of equilibrium constant K = 46.91
For a reversible reaction at a fixed temperature, the equilibrium constant K is a thermodynamic quantity determined solely by the standard Gibbs free-energy change: K = exp(−ΔG° / R T). In the present illustration K = 46.91. When Q (reaction quotient) < K the forward reaction is spontaneous; when Q > K the reverse reac...
K = exp(-ΔG° / R T); ΔG = ΔG° + R T ln Q

Hess's law and enthalpy as a state function
Enthalpy H is a state function: its change between two states is independent of path. Consequently, the enthalpy change of a reaction may be computed by summing the enthalpy changes of any convenient sequence of reactions that net to the same overall transformation (Hess's law). Standard enthalpies of formation provide...
