You proceed to measure the equilibrium constant at three more temperatures, and now have the following results:

Temperature (K)

Equilibrium constant

100.0 ± 0.01

(1.6±0.1) ×104

150.0±0.01

(3.3±0.1) ×104

200.0 ± 0.01

(5.7±0.1) ×104

250.0±0.01

(6.2±0.1) ×104

300.0±0.01

(7.8±0.1) ×104

(a) Linearize your date and perform a linear regression, using Excel or another computer program. Use the program to find the slope, intercept, and uncertainties in the slope and intercept.

(b) Make a figure of the linearized data in 7(a); be sure to include the best-fit line.

(c) Calculate the ΔH and ΔS for this reaction.

(d) Estimate the uncertainties for ΔH and ΔS in part (c).

(a) Linear data points,

Temperature (K) (1/T))            Equilibrium constant (K) (lnK)

100  (0.01)                                  1.6x10^4 (9.68)

150  (0.007)                                3.3x10^4 (10.40)

200  (0.005)                                5.7x10^4 (10.95)

250  (0.004)                                6.2x10^4 (11.035)

300  (0.003)                                7.8x10^4 (11.26)

To calculate maximum slope we will use the values, (100.01,1.5x10^4) and (299.99,7.9x10^4)

maximum slope = y2-y1/x2-x1 = 7.9x10^4-1.5x10^4/299.99-100.01 = 320.032

To calculate minimum slope values, (99.99,1.6x10^4) and (300.01,7.7x10^4)

Minimum slope = 7.7x10^4-1.6x10^4/300.01-99.99) = 304.9695

uncertainty in the slope = max slope-min slope/2 = 320.032-304.9695/2 = 7.53

So the actual slope of this line becomes = 320 +/- 7.53

The uncertainty in the intercept

Intercept of line is 0.33x10^4

the uncertainty is approximately 0.1

(b) Using the relation,

lnKeq = -deltaH/RT + delta S/R

Plot lnKeq vs 1/T [data given above]

(c) Find delta H and delta S from slope and intercept of the line

slope = -240 = -deltaH/R

deltaH = 240 x 8.314 = 1995.36 J/mol

intercept = deltaS/R = 9.5265

delta S = 9.5265 x 8.314 = 79.203 J/K.mol

(d) Uncertainty for delta H +/-0.01

For delta S = +/-0.01
