Question: Phosphine ( P H 3 ) can theoretically be made by the reaction of hydrogen gas and red phosphorus by the reaction below. What temperature

Phosphine (PH3) can theoretically be made by the reaction of hydrogen gas and red phosphorus by the reaction below. What temperature conditions are required (above or below what temperature) for the formation of PH3 to be favored at standard pressure? (note that Hr is per mole)
Sr(H2,g)=+130.6Jmol*K
Sr(P4,s(red))=+22.8Jmol*K
Sr(PH3,g)=+210.2Jmol*K
6H2(g)+P4(s, red )4PH3(g)
H(PH3,g)=+5.4kJmol
 Phosphine (PH3) can theoretically be made by the reaction of hydrogen
