thermodynamics - Correlation between the equilibrium constant and delta G


enter image description here


I understand this up until the last two steps. How does $\ln(K_\mathrm{eq})$ become $2{,}303\log(K_\mathrm{eq})$ and how does $-RT\cdot2{,}303$ become $-1{,}42$?



Answer




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



Because $e^{2.303} = 10$ and


$\ln(x) = \log (10^{\ln(x)})$ therefore


$\ln(x)=\log((e^{2.303})^{\ln(x)})$



$\ln(x)=\log (x^{2.303})$


$\ln(x)=2.303\log(x)$



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



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

I have a question about matched filtering. Does the matched filter maximise the SNR at the moment of decision only? As far as I understand, ...
