I've never been good at maths but this takes the cake,
so,
k= exp(-dG/RT)
R=8.314 (the universal gas constant in case anyone's wondering)
T=298
k=0.007
All I want to do is find out what value they have used for dG, I even know that it should be between 20 and 33 but all I get are syntax errors on my calculator when I try to do this (I got this kinetic equation from a web site) I'm also wanting to see what the effect of lowering T is, down to a min of 273 but if I can't get the bloody thing to work as it is written out then I have no chance.
If I understand Le Chateliers Principle correctly then k should get smaller as I reduce T for this experiment, does this fit with the kinetic equation above??
