The van’t Hoff plot II
In a previous slideshow the Clausius-Calpyron equation was usedto create a van’t Hoff plot of water vapor pressure. This equation,derivable from Thermodynamics is:
It was noted that the abscissa (x) was the quantity 1/T and theordinate (y) was lnP. Thus, the slope was –∆H
v.
For the case of vapor pressure, the ∆H > 0 always. This is not ingeneral the case for reactions and the equilibrium values forreactions at two different temperatures may not be available, atleast initially. Therefore it is useful to be able to calculate thevan’t Hoff plot given only Thermodynamic data. Conversely, froman experimental van’t Hoff plot one can obtain theThermodynamic data.

Starting with the relationship between thermodynamics and theequilibrium constant:
and the relationship of Gibbs’ free energy and the enthalpy andentropy:
∆Gº = ∆H
º – T∆Sº
Taking the ln of the first equation and substituting ∆Hº – T∆Sº for
∆Gº yields:
Thus, –∆Hº/R is the slope and ∆S
º/R is the intercept.

This equation could be used between two temperature to yield anequation similar to the Clausius-Calpyron equation. Todemonstrate this use two temperatures, T

Here is an example:
Draw a van’t Hoff plot for the reaction between 100EC and 500EC:
N2(g) + 3H
2(g) ! 2NH
3(g)
The thermodynamic quantities for the reaction are required.
∆Hº = 2 ∆H
º(NH3) – ∆H
º(N2) – 3 ∆H
º(H2)
∆Hº = 2(–46.11 kJ mol–1) – 0 – 3(0) = –92.22 kJ mol–1
∆Sº = 2 Sº(NH
3) – Sº(N
2) – 3 Sº(H

∆Sº = 2(192.3) – (191.1) – 3(130.6) J mol–1 K–1 = –198.3 J mol–1 K–1

º = –198.3 J mol–1 K–1
T1 = 100EC / 373 K and T
2 = 500EC / 773 K

* Remember one must convert kJ to J. It has been done here without explicitly stating it . Youshould know that by now.
Now calculate the values for:1/T

ln(K2) = ?
When finished, use the right arrow, !, to compare answers.
