Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
A plot of ln K against T1 (abscissa) is expected to be a straight line with intercept on ordinate axis equal
A
2.303R\DelatS∘
B
R\DelatS∘
C
−R\DelatS∘
D
R×ΔS∘
Answer
R\DelatS∘
Explanation
Solution
RTInK=−ΔG∘=TΔS∘−ΔH∘ InK=RΔS∘−RTΔH∘ Thus, a plot of ln K versus 1 T (abscissa) will be straight line with slope equal to R−ΔH∘ and intercept RΔS∘
