    Gibbs Energy and Equilibrium Constant

    The relation, ΔG = -RT ln(Keq) is ubiquitous. It says that for a reaction, the change in Gibbs energy is proportional to the logarithm of the equilibrium constant. But where does this come from? I've been reading through many books and haven't yet find any that derive or indicate the...

    Difference between van der Waals forces and dispersion forces

    You are correct that van der Walls is the more general term, and dispersion forces is a particular case of van der Walls force. van der Walls is the term used for any kind of inter- or intra-molecular force other than covalent and ionic bonds, so yes it includes all interactions between...
