Subtract reaction (I) from reaction (II), cancelling the common aqueous ions and corundum, and divide by two. Choose the albite-to-nepheline direction:This is albite plus water converting to nepheline and dissolved silica. Standard Gibbs energies of reaction add with their stoichiometric coefficients, so logarithms of equilibrium constants do too. For this single-formula normalization,The doubled reaction has ${\log }_{10}K=-22.06$, while reversing either reaction changes the sign. Specifying the direction and normalization removes that apparent ambiguity.
