Entropy and Enthalpy calculation?
« on: January 22, 2011, 11:10:43 AM »
I'm given a table with column 1 1st row (Temperature K), column 1 2-5 row C(A) mM, C(B) mM... etc. A + B double arrows P+Q. It has 7 columns of data for Temperature and C. Ex: 273 temp, C(A)=5, C(B)=5. How do you calculate entropy and enthalpy change with just temperature and molar concentration?

Are these equilibrium concentrations? If so, there is an equation that relates Gibbs free energy with the equilibrium constant. Then you assume that enthalpy change :delta: H and entropy change  :delta: S are independent of temperature. So you have something like this.

:delta: G1 = :delta: H - T1 :delta: S
:delta: G2 = :delta: H - T2 :delta: S

You have a system of equations, and you use this to solve for :delta: H and :delta: S
