The correct statement for a reversible process in a state of equilibrium is:

A

ΔG=2.30RTlogK\Delta G = -2.30 RT \log K

B

ΔG=2.30RTlogK\Delta G = 2.30 RT \log K

C

ΔG=2.30RTlogK\Delta G^{\circ} = -2.30 RT \log K

D

ΔG=2.30RTlogK\Delta G^{\circ} = 2.30 RT \log K

Step-by-Step Solution

For a reversible process, the Gibbs energy change (ΔG\Delta G) is related to the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔG\Delta G^{\circ}) and the reaction quotient (QQ) by the equation: ΔG=ΔG+RTlnQ\Delta G = \Delta G^{\circ} + RT \ln Q. At equilibrium, the free energy change of the system is zero (ΔG=0\Delta G = 0), and the reaction quotient becomes equal to the equilibrium constant (Q=KQ = K). Substituting these values into the equation gives: 0=ΔG+RTlnK0 = \Delta G^{\circ} + RT \ln K ΔG=RTlnK\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K Converting the natural logarithm to base 10 (lnK=2.303logK\ln K = 2.303 \log K), we get: ΔG=2.303RTlogK2.30RTlogK\Delta G^{\circ} = -2.303 RT \log K \approx -2.30 RT \log K.
