[The Nernst equation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_equation) is given as:
$$E= E^o - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln Q$$
Now, it turns out that if all the liquid components in the cell are unit molar i.e: of molarity one, then $Q=1$ and hence $\ln Q=0$ making the EMF temperature independent.


This puzzled me, is there an intuition on why a mixture of unit molarity solution has no dependence on temperature for their EMF?

This question could be equivalently asked in terms of Gibb's Free energy, why does Gibb's Free energy become temperature independent if each constituent has molarity of one:


$$ \Delta G = \Delta G^o + RT \ln Q$$
