Hello all! ![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I am wondering: Since we derive the equilibrium constant by minimizing the Gibbs free energy, it means that me are taking advantage of the fact that at the minimum, we have [itex](dG)_{T,P,m}=0[/itex]. Does this mean that in order to determine the products of a reaction using the equilibrium constant then the reaction must take place at constant T, P, and m?
Thanks for your time!
