Options:
  • A $\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{2.303 R}$
  • B $\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$
  • C $-\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$
  • D $R \times \Delta S^{\circ}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$
$\begin{array}{l}
R T \ln K=-\Delta G^{\circ}=T \Delta S^{\circ}-\Delta H^{\circ} \\
\ln K=\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}-\frac{\Delta H^{\circ}}{R T}
\end{array}$
Thus, a plot of $\ln K$ versus $1 / T$ (abscissa) will be straight line with slope equal to $\frac{-\Delta H^{\circ}}{R}$ and intercept $\frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$
