I am a biochemistry student and we are learning about thermodynamics. Is the Gibbs standard free energy for a reaction always constant? The equation below suggests that it changes with temperature:
$$\Delta G^{\circ\prime} = -RT\ln K'_\mathrm{eq}$$
It is important to note that we are using the biochemistry version of the Gibbs standard free energy equation. To answer my own equation, I believe that it is always constant. Changing the temperature would probably just change the equilibrium constant.
