Problem

A researcher measures the standard free energy change for a reaction and obtains ΔG∘=−15 kJ mol−1\Delta G^{\circ}=-15\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1} at 300 K300\,\text{K} and ΔG∘=+25 kJ mol−1\Delta G^{\circ}=+25\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1} at 800 K800\,\text{K}. Assuming ΔH∘\Delta H^{\circ} and ΔS∘\Delta S^{\circ} are constant in this temperature interval, which temperature is closest to the equilibrium point for the reaction? a) 630 K630\,\text{K} b) 490 K490\,\text{K} c) 550 K550\,\text{K} d) 740 K740\,\text{K}
