Table 10.
Influence of the reaction quotient on Gibbs energy of growth. The table compares the influences of standard Gibbs energy of growth, ΔrG⁰, and the reaction quotient Q on Gibbs energy of growth, ΔrG. The last column %Q contains the relative size of the correction to ΔrG made by Q, calculated as (%Q) = [ RgT ln(Q) ]/ΔrG. Also, notice that the size of the correction RgT ln(Q) is in all cases lower than the uncertainty in ΔrG⁰ (Table 5).
