Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The information that can be determined from $\Delta G$ for a reaction; the information obtained from $\Delta G°$ for a reaction; the reason as to how the $\Delta G°$ allows the determination of the equilibrium constant for a reaction; the procedure to estimate the value of the equilibrium constant at temperatures other than $\text{25}\text{°C}$; the estimation of temperature where $K=1$ for a reaction and the possibility of all reactions having a specific temperature where $K=1$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The change in free energy observed during the formation of $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of a given substance from its constituent elements, at standard states is known as the standard free energy of formation of that particular compound.
