At the transition temperature T, A B and G = 105 - 35 T where A and B are two states of substance X. The transition temperature in °C when pressure is 1 atm is . (Nearest integer)
Answer
727
Solution
At the transition temperature (1 atm) the two states A and B are in equilibrium under standard conditions
⇒ G = 0
⇒ 105 - 35 T = 0
⇒ T = 10535 = 3
⇒ T = 103 K = 1000 K
∴ Transition temperature = 1000 − 273 = 727°C
Answer: 727
