This ensures that ΔG and ΔH are nearly the same over a considerable range of temperatures and justifies the approximate empirical Principle of Thomsen and Berthelot, which states that the equilibrium state to which a system proceeds is the one which evolves the greatest amount of heat, i. e. an actual process is the most exothermic one.

After March it began to pass northwards, a motion quite apparent by the middle of April ; in June it passed at the same distance from the zenith as it did in December ; and in September it passed through its most northerly position, the extreme range from north to south, i. e. the angle between the March and September positions, being 40 ″.
