I thought it was only ΔG which varied by temperature,with the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ?
It makes no sense to me why ΔG° (= change of gibbs free energy at standard conditions during a reaction) should vary with temperature, but I've gotten an assignment here to calculate ε° for a reaction at 90°C (ε is a function of ΔG), which suggests that ΔG° does indeed vary!
How can this be? I thought Gibbs free energy at standard conditions was always constant, with the temperature being 25°C?
