Explanation:

For the determined reaction we know the equilibrium constant at two different temperatures.

T₁ = 300 K K₁ = 3.9 * 10^5

T₂ = 500 K K₂ = 1.2 * 10^-1

Before we find the change in enthalpy and entropy we have to find the free energy change using this formula.

ΔG = - R * T * ln K

Where ^Δ is the Free Gibbs Energy change, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature and K is the equilibrium constant.

R = 8.3145 J/(K*mol)

Then we can find the GΔ for both conditions:

ΔG₁ = - R * T₁ * ln K₁

ΔG₁ = - 8.3145 J/(K*mol) * 300 K * ln (3.9 * 10^5)

ΔG₁ = -32112 J/mol = -32.1 kJ/mol

ΔG₁ = -32.1 kJ/mol

ΔG₂ = - R * T₂ * ln K₂

ΔG₂ = - 8.3145 J/(K*mol) * 500 K * ln (1.2 * 10^-1)

ΔG₂ = 8814 J/mol = 8.81 kJ/mol

ΔG₂ = 8.81 kJ/mol

Now we also know that:

ΔG = ΔH - T * ΔS

But ΔH and ΔS won't be affected by the temperature. So with our two conditions we can set up a system of equations and solve them for ΔH and ΔS.

ΔG₁ = ΔH - T₁ * ΔS ---> ΔH = ΔG₁ + T₁ * ΔS

ΔG₂ = ΔH - T₂ * ΔS

ΔG₂ = ΔG₁ + T₁ * ΔS - T₂ * ΔS

ΔG₂ - ΔG₁ = ΔS * (T₁ - T₂)

ΔS = (ΔG₂ - ΔG₁)/(T₁ - T₂)

ΔS = (8.81 kJ/mol + 32.1 kJ/mol)/(300 K - 500 K)

ΔS = - 0.205 kJ/(mol*K)

ΔH = ΔG₁ + T₁ * ΔS

ΔH = - 32.1 kJ/mol + 300 K * (- 0.205 kJ/(mol*K))

ΔH = -93.6 kJ/mol

Answer:

ΔS = -0.205 kJ/(mol*K)

ΔH = -93.6 kJ/mol
