Given information

The energy available for doing a useful work is known as Gibbs free energy. The free energy change of a reaction under nonstandard conditions is expressed by the relation,

 

At equilibrium, the value of is always equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the value of . Therefore, the change in Gibbs free energy is equal to zero.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
  1. The value of at standard conditions is .

  2. The value of at equilibrium is zero.

  3. The value of at given partial pressures is .
