For the reaction X(s)⇌Y(s)+Z(g), the plot of lnp⊖pz versus T104 is given below (in solid line), where pz is the pressure (in bar) of the gas Z at temperature T and Pθ=1 bar.
(Given, d(T1)d(lnK)=−RΔH⊖, where the equilibrium constant, K=p⊖pz and the gas constant, R=8.314JK−1mol−1)
The value of standard enthalpy, ΔH⊖ (in kJmol−1) for the reaction is ____.
Answer: 166.28
Solution
From the van't Hoff equation: lnK=−RTΔH⊖+RΔS⊖
The slope of the plot of ln(pz/p⊖) vs 104/T is: Slope = −RΔH⊖×10−4
