For vaporization of water at 1 atmospheric pressure, the values of ΔH and ΔS are 54.4kJ mol−1 and 108.8J K−1mol−1, respectively. The temperature (in Kelvin) when Gibb's energy change ΔG for this temperature will be zero, is:

Solution
We know, ΔG=ΔH−TΔS
If ΔG=0 ΔH=TΔS
Given, ΔH=54.4kJ mol−1=54.4×103J mol−1ΔS=108.8J K−1mol−1 ∴T=ΔHΔS=54.4×103108.8=500K
