How is ∆rG0 related to the equilibrium constant K?

Solution
The standard free energy change ∆rG0 of a reaction is related to the equilibrium constant (K) by the relation,
space increment straight G to the power of 0 space equals space minus 2.303 space RT space log space straight K
where R is the gas constant (= 8.314 JK–1 mol–1); T is the temperature in kelvin.
