A plot of ln(K) versus 1/T for this reaction gives a straight line with a slope of 1.352 x 104 K and a y-intercept of -14.51. Determine the value of ΔH° for this reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer : The value of ΔH° for this reaction is, 112.4 kJ/mol

Explanation :

According to the Van't Hoff equation,

[tex]\ln K=-(\frac{\Delta H^o}{R})(\frac{1}{T})+\frac{\Delta S^o}{R}[/tex]

The linear equation expression is:

y = mx + c

Plot of ln (K) versus (1/T) gives a straight line with a slope is equal to, [tex]\frac{-\Delta H^o}{R}[/tex]

As we are given that:

Slope = [tex]1.352\times 10^4K[/tex]

So,

[tex]Slope=\frac{-\Delta H^o}{R}=1.352\times 10^4K[/tex]

where,

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

[tex]\frac{-\Delta H^o}{R}=1.352\times 10^4K[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o=-(1.352\times 10^4K)\times R[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o=-(1.352\times 10^4K)\times (8.314J/K.mol)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o=-112405.28J/mol=112.4kJ/mol[/tex]

Thus, the value of ΔH° for this reaction is, 112.4 kJ/mol
