1.976 - 1.796 = 0.181 kJK-1mol-1
Gibbs free energy at 298K (standard conditions and standard temperature):
 
Δr G ⦵   = Δr H ⦵ – (T 298 x Δr S ⦵)   =   -905.5– (298 x0.181)  =
-959.3kJmol-1
Δr H ⦵
=
 -905.5 kJmol-1 Negative value: the reaction is exothermic
Δr S ⦵
=
 +0.181 kJK-1mol-1 Positive value: the system becomes more dispersed
Δr G ⦵ 298K
=
 -959.3 kJmol-1 Negative value: the reaction is feasible (spontaneous)
K eq 298K
=
 >10100 Value is greater than 1: the reaction proceeds to the right
No equilibrium temperature: this reaction is feasible at all temperatures
