I tried to find the value of equilibrium constant several times. I failed..
the value of equilibrium constant at 500K has enthalpy 250kJ/mol and entropy 48J/mol*K
the answer is $ 2.45*10^{-24} $
which formula do I have to use?

$\begingroup$ @Lighthart I have used $lnK=-delta/RT + deltaS/R$ $\endgroup$– devDNACommented Mar 22, 2016 at 19:46

$\Delta G=\Delta H - T \Delta S = 250-48 \times 10^{-3} \times 500 = 226 KJ/mol$
$K=exp(-\frac{\Delta G}{RT})=exp(-\frac{226 \times 10^3}{8.314 \times 500})=2.45 \times 10^{-24}$

1$\begingroup$ Oh... my problem was that I did not multiply 10^-3 to entropy. Thank you. $\endgroup$– devDNACommented Mar 22, 2016 at 19:58
