Consider the equilibrium of an oligomer:
2 MONOMERS ‡† DIMER
The ΔH° for this reaction is positive and varies little between 4°C and 45°C. TΔS°, in contrast, varies widely over the same temperature range. The behaviors of ΔH° and TΔS° are shown in the graph below. How does the position of equilibrium of this oligomer differ at 4°C versus 45°C?
