17.1 Equilibrium and Gibbs free energy 

Understandings: 
The position of equilibrium corresponds to a maximum value of entropy and a minimum in the value of the Gibbs free energy.
The Gibbs free energy change of a reaction and the equilibrium constant can both be used to measure the position of an equilibrium reaction and are related by the equation, ∆G° = −RT lnk 
Applications and skills:
Relationship between ∆G and the equilibrium constant.
Calculations using the equation  ∆G° = −RT lnk
