thermodynamics - Correlation between the equilibrium constant and delta G


enter image description here


I understand this up until the last two steps. How does ln(Keq) become 2,303log(Keq) and how does RT2,303 become 1,42?



Answer




How does ln(Keq) become 2,303log(Keq)



Because e2.303=10 and


ln(x)=log(10ln(x)) therefore


ln(x)=log((e2.303)ln(x))



ln(x)=log(x2.303)


ln(x)=2.303log(x)



how does -RT*2,303 become -1,42?



That would only be true at a particular temperature in a particular set of units
