I'm supposed to find out the temperature of a reaction at equilibrium. I've calculated K=0.187, ΔS0=940J, and I know that ΔG0=1134kJ and ΔH0=1414kJ.
I'm supposed to use the R*T*ln(K)=ΔG0 formula, but my only problem is that ΔG0 is given for standard conditions,, ie where the temperature equals 298K.
But I am supposed to use it anyway in the assignment, ie I need to reform it into ΔG0=ΔH0 + T*ΔS0=T*R*ln(K), and calculate T.
However, ΔS and ΔH for the reaction are given at standard conditions. When the temperature changes they too change, so how is it possible to get a reliable answer?
