Hi there:
When using ΔG=ΔG°+RT ln Q to calculate the energy yield of a reaction, does it matter if I use ΔG° calculated at 1°C or 25°C? Also, why are there two choices and when are they each applicable? Finally, I have also seen ΔG°' written (note the prime). What does this mean and how does it differ from ΔG° conceptually and numerically?
I realize that these are very basic questions, so if you want to point me towards some elementary reading material I understand.
Thanks in advance,
Danny.Boy
