Consider the equation G = G + RT ln(Q). What is the value of G for a reaction at equilibrium? What does Q equal at equilibrium? At equilibrium, the previous equation reduces to G = RT ln(K). When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When t G = 0, what does it indicate about K? G predicts spontaneity for a reaction, whereas G predicts the equilibrium position. Explain what this statement means. Under what conditions can you use G to determine the spontaneity of a reaction?

Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the interconversion reaction?
