- C2 303 R H ^ o , 2 303 R ~S ^ o
- D- H ^ o 2 303 R , ~S ^ o 2 303 R
Correct answer
A. S ^ o 2 303 R ,- H ^ o 2 303 R
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between the standard Gibbs free energy change and the equilibrium constant is given by G^o = -RT K . We also know that G^o = H^o - T S^o . Equating the two expressions: -RT K = H^o - T S^o . Dividing by -RT , we get: K = - H^o RT + S^o R . To convert natural log to base 10, use K = 2.303 ₁₀ K : 2.303 ₁₀ K = - H^o RT + S^o R . Dividing by 2.303 : ₁₀ K = - H^o 2.303RT + S^o 2.303R . Rearranging in the form of a straight line equation y = mx + c where y = ₁₀ K and x = 1 T : ₁₀ K = ( - H^o 2.303R ) 1 T
