Equilibrium constant, temperature variation

Expected Range of pH Values. Changes in solution pH in rock-water systems may result from two primary causes. The first cause is due to changes in equilibrium constants with variation in temperature and pressure. For example, the neutral pH of pure water changes from 7.00 at 20°C to approximately 5.6 at 200°C and 300 bars pressure due to changes in the value of the dissociation constant for water. Precipitation, dissolution, oxidation, or reduction of phases with consumption or generation of hydrogen ion is the second primary cause of pH variation. 

Heterogeneous physical equilibria, e.g., between a pure solid and its vapor or a pure liquid and its vapor, can be treated in a manner similar to that just described. If the total pressure of the system is 1 atm., the fugacity of the vapor is here also equivalent to the equilibrium constant. The variation of In/ with temperature is again given by equation (33.16), where MP is now the ideal molar heat of vaporization of the liquid (or of sublimation of the solid) at the temperature T and a pressure of 1 atm. If the total pressure is not 1 atm., but is maintained constant at some other value, the dependence of the fugacity on the temperature can be expressed by equation (29.22), since the solid or liquid is in the pure state thus,... 

Unlike Arnett and Catalan, Laurence el al. chose to measure the enthalpy of hydrogen bonding from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant. The variation of an equilibrium constant with temperature is given by Equation 4.22 ... 

From the third law of thermodynamics, the entiopy 5 = 0 at 0 K makes it possible to calculate S at any temperature from statistical thermodynamics within the hamionic oscillator approximation (Maczek, 1998). From this, A5 of formation can be found, leading to A/G and the equilibrium constant of any reaction at 298 K for which the algebraic sum of AyG for all of the constituents is known. A detailed knowledge of A5, which we already have, leads to /Gq at any temperature. Variation in pressure on a reacting system can also be handled by classical thermodynamic methods.

The system H2S-CH4-H20 is an example of a ternary system forming a continuous range of mixed hydrates of Structure I. For this system Noaker and Katz22 studied the H2S/CH4 ratio of the gas in equilibrium with aqueous liquid and hydrate. From the variation of this ratio with total pressure at constant temperature it follows that complete miscibility must occur in the solid phase.

The equations which describe the variation with temperature of the equilibrium constant, K, for a chemical system and of the rate constant, ki, for a chemical reaction are well known. They are... 

As In Example, the result has only two significant figures because of the sensitivity of powers of e to small variations. We see that at this temperature, the equilibrium constant has a small value, indicating that the reactants are favored. This is consistent with the observation that the Haber reaction has only a 13% yield at elevated temperature. 

The extension of thermodynamic calculations to low temperatures requires knowledge of how the equilibrium composition of a mixture, which varies at different temperatures, can be derived from the standard relation between AG and the equilibrium constant (Equation 8.12) to give the van t Hoff equation for the variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature ...

All partitioning properties change with temperature. The partition coefficients, vapor pressure, KAW and KqA, are more sensitive to temperature variation because of the large enthalpy change associated with transfer to the vapor phase. The simplest general expression theoretically based temperature dependence correlation is derived from the integrated Clausius-Clapeyron equation, or van t Hoff form expressing the effect of temperature on an equilibrium constant Kp,... 

The fit is improved by adding further coefficients in additional terms. The variation of these equilibrium constants with temperature can be expressed by (Clarke and Glew 1966),... 

For this method, either a weighed amount of the solute (or a definite amount of the solvent) is placed in a suitable vessel. While agitating the system at constant temperature, known amounts of the solvent (or the solute) are added gradually until the solubility limit is reached. Appropriate checks must be carried out to ensure that the system is very close to equilibrium when the content or temperature of the system is recorded. In this method of temperature variation, attention is usually focused on the last small crystal. The equilibrium temperature is taken as the mean of the two temperatures at which the crystal either slowly grows or slowly dissolves. This procedure may also be carried out at the microscale by examining a small volume of the system under a hot-stage microscope. 

Carell and Olin (58) were the first to derive thermodynamic functions relating to beryllium hydrolysis. They determined the enthalpy and entropy of formation of the species Be2(OH)3+ and Be3(OH)3+. Subsequently, Mesmer and Baes determined the enthalpies for these two species from the temperature variation of the respective equilibrium constants. They also determined a value for the species Be5(OH) + (66). Ishiguro and Ohtaki measured the enthalpies of formation of Be2(OH)3+ and Be3(OH)3+ calorimetrically in solution in water and water/dioxan mixtures (99). The agreement between the values is satisfactory considering the fact that they were obtained with different chemical models and ionic media.

The need for entropy values is bypassed when the van t Hoff equation (d In K/dT) =AH/RT2 is used. This can be integrated, either assuming AH is temperature-independent, or by incorporating a specific heat-temperature variation. This is the so-called second law method which contrasts with the third law method. In the latter method, the standard enthalpy is obtained from each equilibrium constant using free-energy functions of all the species present, for example... 

The variation of equilibrium constant Kc with absolute temperature can be given by Vant Hoff s relation,... 

The temperature jump is undoubtedly the most versatile and useful of the relaxation methods. Since the vast majority of reactions have nonzero values for the assoeiated A//, a variation of equilibrium constant K with temperature is to be expected ...
