The value of standard enthalpy, $\Delta H^{0}$ (in $kJ\, mol ^{-1}$ ) for the given reaction is ______
Correct Answer: 166.28
Solution and Explanation
Given:
- Reaction: X(s) โ Y(s) + Z(g)
- Plot of ln(pZ/p0) vs 104/T is linear.
- From the graph:
- At (10, -3)
- At (12, -7)
- Gas constant: R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1
- Standard enthalpy relation:
d(ln K)/d(1/T) = -ฮH0/R
Step 1: Determine the slope of the line
We use the two given points (10, -3) and (12, -7) from the graph to find the slope (m):
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-7 - (-3)) / (12 - 10) = (-4)/2 = -2
Step 2: Use the Vanโt Hoff equation
From the Vanโt Hoff equation:
Slope = -ฮH0 / R
Therefore,
-2 = -ฮH0 / R
Step 3: Solve for ฮH0
Multiply both sides by R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1:
ฮH0 = 2 ร 8.314 ร 104 (Note: the x-axis is in 10โด/T units)
ฮH0 = 166280 J mol-1
ฮH0 = 166.28 kJ mol-1
Final Answer: 166.28 kJ mol-1

Law of Chemical Equilibrium
Law of Chemical Equilibrium states that at a constant temperature, the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the molar concentrations of the reactants each raised to a power equal to the corresponding stoichiometric coefficients as represented by the balanced chemical equation.
Let us consider a general reversible reaction;
A+B โ C+D
After some time, there is a reduction in reactants A and B and an accumulation of the products C and D. As a result, the rate of the forward reaction decreases and that of backward reaction increases.
Eventually, the two reactions occur at the same rate and a state of equilibrium is attained.
By applying the Law of Mass Action;
The rate of forward reaction;
Rf = Kf [A]a [B]b
The rate of backward reaction;
Rb = Kb [C]c [D]d
Where,
[A], [B], [C] and [D] are the concentrations of A, B, C and D at equilibrium respectively.
a, b, c, and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of A, B, C and D respectively.
Kf and Kbยญ are the rate constants of forward and backward reactions.
However, at equilibrium,
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction.
Kc is called the equilibrium constant expressed in terms of molar concentrations.
The above equation is known as the equation of Law of Chemical Equilibrium.
