A Qualitative Interpretation of the Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium

question 35

Multiple Choice

A qualitative interpretation of the effect of temperature on equilibrium views heat as a reactant or product and explains shifts in equilibrium with temperature as responses to stress to the equilibrium. How does van 't Hoff's equation refine this view?

• A)It incorporates the heat into a RICE table calculation.
• B)It accounts for the shift in terms of the temperature dependence of K.
• C)It uses stoichiometry to interpret heat quantitatively as a reactant or product.
• D)It uses a statistical-mechanical interpretation of heat.
• E)It enables Q to be calculated from  H  and  S  .
