Subtract the nepheline–corundum reaction from the albite–corundum reaction and divide by two. In the albite-to-nepheline direction the resulting net reaction isAdditivity of the standard Gibbs energy of reaction makes the logarithms of the equilibrium constants combine with the same coefficients:This normalization is per one albite formula unit. The doubled reaction has , and reversing the reaction changes its sign.
