What does temperature of interest actually mean?

I think it is just the temperature that the reaction is occuring in. I believe it will be given, and if not, it is assumed to be 25 degrees celcius.

Yes I agree, it is assumed it is 25 degrees unless it is given

The temperature of interest is the temperature at which the reaction is occurring. If not given, we can assume for all reactions in this class that the temperature of interest is 25 degrees Celsius.

Temperature of interest is just the temperature at which the reaction is occurring at. This value is important because our reactants and products may be in different phases than their standard states if temperature is not specified. I believe Dr. Lavelle did mention that for this class we'll always assume that the temperature of interest is 25 degrees Celsius unless the problem specifies otherwise. Hope this helps!

The temperature of interest refers to the temperature at which the reaction is occurring. I lectures, Professor Lavelle has stated that if temperature is not sated, you can assume temp = 25°C

The temperature of interest simply means the temperature to which the reaction is occurring. If there is no temperature labelled in a problem, we can assume it's 25 degree Celsius. Hope this helps!

I believe it's just the temperature that the reaction is occurring in. In general, we assume standard conditions (25 C) unless told otherwise.

It just refers to the temperature the reaction is occurring. It will be given and if not we assume that it’s 25 degrees Celsius.
