o
When !G
= 0, the system is at equilibrium and both the forward and reverse
reaction are proceeding, at the same rate. This is the case during phase
o
o
o
transitions. Since !G
= 0, !H
= T!S
. This can be re-arranged:
o
o
T = !H
/ !S
which allows the determination of melting or boiling points
o
o
!S
= !H
/ T
which demonstrates that all of the heat added at the
transition temperature goes to raise the entropy of the
system
