The temperature of $K$ at which $\Delta G=0$, for a given reaction with $\Delta H=-20.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and $\Delta S=-50.0 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ is
  1. $-410$
  2. $410$
  3. $2.44$
  4. $-2.44$

Solution

From Gibbs-Helmholtz reaction, $$ \begin{aligned} \Delta G & =\Delta H-T \Delta S \\ 0 & =-20.5 \times 10^3-T \times(-50.0) \\ \therefore T & =\frac{-20.5 \times 10^3}{-50.0}=410 \mathrm{~K} \end{aligned} $$ ^
