For the change $H_2O_{(l)} \to H_2O_{(g)}$ at $P = 1 \ atm$ and $T = 373 \ K$,the free energy change $\Delta G = 0$. This indicates that:

  • A
    $H_2O_{(l)}$ is in equilibrium with $H_2O_{(g)}$
  • B
    Water boils spontaneously at $373 \ K$
  • C
    Water does not boil spontaneously at $373 \ K$
  • D
    Condensation of water vapour occurs spontaneously at $373 \ K$
