crabtreeandrew Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I understand what the log( Q/K) means, but I am wondering if anyone has any information on how the program is calculating the values for k and q. I've been looking in the various manuals but have yet to find anything about how it actually does it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Melika Sharifi Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hello, Log K values are derived from the thermo dataset used in the calculation. To see which dataset is currently loaded for your calculation in each app, go to File – File Properties – Thermo data. The Q values for a reaction, however, depend on the activities of species involved in that reaction which are dependent on the thermodynamic data for all other dissolved species in the solution matrix. To overall, Q is a quantity that changes as the reaction approaches equilibrium (K). Hope this helps.
