was trying to do my electrochem hw but I am a little confused OK here is the question

Calculate the ratio of reactants to products under intracellular conditions and under equilibrium. The Delta G prime is 25.6 and the delta G in the cell is -2.3. (both are kj/mol)

Ok please explain in detail as I want to understand this for my midterm next week and Because I have changed the numbers because I want to make sure afterwards that I can do it. I dont know if I use both those in one equation or if it asking me to solve for two different things please help.

  1. Use the equation

    DeltaG = DeltaG0 + RT ln Q

    If you were using cell voltages, rather than free energies, you would use the Nernst equation which is derived from this using

    DeltaG = - nFE

    That's all there is to it.  Remember to convert from kJ to J.  Good luck.
