Enter values and select Calculate.

FORMULA

K = exp(−ΔᵣG°/(RT))

Assumptions

Required: standard molar reaction Gibbs energy at the entered temperature, matching the coefficients and direction of the written reaction. K is defined with dimensionless activities, rather than raw dimensional concentrations or pressures. Use temperature-specific Gibbs energy. Excluded: reaction rates, equilibration time and equilibrium composition.

Displayed values are floating-point approximations. Design safety factors and unprovided error contributions are not calculated.
