Can you clarify these following:
a. delta G and delta G(o)
1. what would happen to delta G and delta G(o) and also thedirection of the reaction when Q <1
2. What would happen to delta G and delta G(o) and also thedirection of the reaction when Q >1
3. What would happen when Q=1 and Q=K
4. What is the difference between Q=K and K=1?
Ex: Calculate the delta G reaction for this reaction, CO(g)+2H2(g) ---- CH30H(g) kp = 2.26 x10^4 at 25 C under standardconditions? (According to the solution manual, it sets Q=K but notQ=1 under standard conditions. Can you explain why?
b. What would happen to standard potential energy under these 4conditions?
Ex: Which of these changes will produce the most positive voltagefor this half reaction in the direction written: Co^2+(aq) + 2e------------- Co(s) E(o) = -.28V (can you explain this in term of Q = product/reactant anddirection of the reaction?
i. increasing the concentration of Co^2+
ii. decreasing the concentration of Co^2+
