For the reaction, calculate the temperature at which
is equal to zero. Also predict the direction of the reaction at:
(i) temperature
(ii) below this temperature
Let be zero at temperature TK.
(i) At this temperature, the reaction proceeds in either direction at the same rate and it represents the state of equilibrium.
(ii) Below this temperature,
T = 462 K (say)
As ∆G is +ve below this temperature, the reaction will not be spontaneous.
