K is not Q; and delta Sf is not delta Sabs

Severe retardation regarding non-equilibrium conditions. They still don't know to use the RTlnQ equation when things are not at equilibrium MEANING at initial conditions.

Also, though delta Gf and delta Hf can be used in delta Grxn and delra Hrxm, delta Sf CANNOT. You can ONLY use absolute entropies in Hess's Law.
