Plot your values of ln(Ksp) vs. 1/T and find the slope and y-intercept of the best fit line. Use the equation for the best fit line and the following equation l n ( K ) = − Δ H ∘ R T + Δ S ∘ R to calculate ΔH° and ΔS° for dissolving Borax (0/1pts) What is the slope of your best fit line in the plot? -7E-5 highlight_off (-1 pts) Incorrect. (0/1pts) What is ΔH° (kJ/mol)? .000582

a) The slope of the line of best fit plot = -12629.507

b) ΔH∘ = 105 kJ

c) Intercept of the line of best fit plot = 39.099

d) ΔS∘ = 325.1 J/K

e) Option A is correct.

Solubility will increase as temperature increases, because as T increases the (−ΔH∘/RT) term becomes smaller therefore K will get larger.

f) Option D is correct. All of the options are correct.

Explanation:

The complete question is presented in the first attached image to this question. This complete question has the data readings required to plot the graph.

The second attached image has the plotted graph and the regression analysis to obtain the line of best fit.

The equation of the line of best fit obtained is

y = -12629.507x + 39.099

Comparing the given expression for the question with the equation of a straight line

ln (K) = (−ΔH∘/RT) + (ΔS∘/R)

y = mx + c

y = In K

Slope = m = (−ΔH∘/R)

x = (1/T)

Intercept = c = (ΔS∘/R)

So, to answer the question now

a) The slope of the line of best fit plot = -12629.507

b) Slope = (−ΔH∘/R)

(−ΔH∘/R) = -12629.507

But R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

ΔH∘ = 12629.507 × 8.314 = 105,001.721198 J = 105,002 J = 105 kJ

c) Intercept of the line of best fit plot = 39.099

d) Intercept = (ΔS∘/R)

(ΔS∘/R) = 39.099

ΔS∘ = 39.099 × 8.314 = 325.069086 J/K = 325.1 J/K

e) Do you expect the solubility of Borax to increase or decrease as temperature increases?

Solubility will increase as temperature increases, because as T increases the (−ΔH∘/RT) term becomes smaller therefore K will get larger.

f) Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp? Select the option that best explains why.

A. To make sure no more sodium borate would dissolve in solution.

B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium.

C. To make sure the solution was saturated with sodium and borate ions.

D. All of the above

Hope this Helps!!!

answer; i believe the correct answer is (c) /// is a homogeneous mixture of gaseous substance nitrogen,oxygen and smaller amounts of other substancesmixtures can be either ( homogeneous or heterogeneous)plz check first good luck
