![**Determining the Equilibrium Constant (K) for an Aqueous Reaction at 298 K**
**Reaction:**
\[ \text{A + B} \rightleftharpoons \text{C + D} \]
**Given Data:**
- Standard Gibbs Free Energy Change (\( \Delta G^\circ \)) = 18.29 kJ/mol
**Question:**
Calculate the equilibrium constant \( K \) for the reaction at a temperature of 298 K.
**Calculation Box:**
\[ K = \]
**Explanation:**
To find the equilibrium constant \( K \), we would typically use the relation with Gibbs free energy:
\[ \Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K \]
Where:
- \( R \) = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
- \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin (298 K)
- \( \Delta G^\circ \) needs to be converted to J/mol for consistency with \( R \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8bdaded0-401d-48e8-a8ea-1a7ee4f60f02%2Fae286a1d-ffc8-4fe6-8bf8-9aa92db1ca53%2Fh1g8xsd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
