Options:
  • A $K_{p}=-R T \ln \Delta G^{\circ}$
  • B $K_{p}=\left[\frac{e}{R T}\right]^{\Delta G^{\circ}}$
  • C $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=-\frac{\Delta \mathrm{G}}{\mathrm{RT}}$
  • D $K_{p}=e^{-\Delta G^{0} / R T}$

The correct answer is: $K_{p}=e^{-\Delta G^{0} / R T}$
$\Delta G^{\circ}$ and $K_{p}$ are related as
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\Delta G^{\circ}=-R T \ln K_{p} \\
\Rightarrow \ln K_{p}=\frac{\Delta G^{\circ}}{R T} \Rightarrow K_{p}=e^{-\Delta G^{\circ} / R T}
\end{array}
$$
