Calculate the concentration of critical sized nuclei if the critical free energy tends to 0? (Assume the number of atoms per unit volume in the phase is given as Cx)

Calculate the concentration of critical sized nuclei if the critical free energy tends to 0? (Assume the number of atoms per unit volume in the phase is given as Cx) Correct Answer Cx

Since the value of critical free energy is 0, the concentration of critical sized nuclei formed is Cx. This can be understood easily when we substitute the respective values in the related equation that is C* = Cx*exp (-ΔG*/kT), since the value of ΔG*->0 we get C*= Cx.
