if d(G/T)=(-H/T^2)dT

then why can it also equal
d( delta G/T)= -delta H/T^2?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
unless delta=1 then all those things can't be equal.
 
matt,I think that's a thermodynamic relationship. So delta G signifies the change in Gibbs energy between the initial and final states
ie, delta G = G_f - G_i
 
The point I was making was that the question is badly written. We shouldn't have to guess what the symbols mean.
 
sorry about that!
you're right~
it's a thermodynamics relationship, and I'm confused about why the second equation is right...
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
