范特霍夫方程van 't Hoff equation

\[\frac{d\ln K}{dT} = \frac{\Delta_rH^\circ}{RT^2},\qquad \ln\frac{K_2}{K_1} = -\frac{\Delta_rH^\circ}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2} - \frac{1}{T_1}\right)\]

含义Meaning

平衡常数随温度的变化由反应焓决定(1884):吸热反应升温 K 增大,放热反应升温 K 减小——勒夏特列原理的定量形式。ln K 对 1/T 作图,斜率 −ΔH°/R。

How K changes with temperature, set by the reaction enthalpy (1884): heating raises K for endothermic and lowers it for exothermic reactions — Le Chatelier made quantitative. ln K versus 1/T has slope −ΔH°/R.

推导Derivation

  1. \(\ln K = -\Delta_rG^\circ/RT\),对 T 求导。

    Differentiate ln K = −ΔG°/RT.

  2. 由吉布斯–亥姆霍兹方程 \(d(\Delta G^\circ/T)/dT = -\Delta H^\circ/T^2\) 得上式。

    Gibbs–Helmholtz gives the result.

  3. 若 ΔH° 在区间内近似不变,积分得两温度式;也可写成 \(\ln K = -\frac{\Delta H^\circ}{RT} + \frac{\Delta S^\circ}{R}\)。

    For constant ΔH°, integrate; equivalently ln K = −ΔH°/RT + ΔS°/R.

适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations

  • 温度范围大时 ΔH° 随温度变化(基尔霍夫定律),需考虑 ΔCp。

    Over wide ranges include ΔCp (Kirchhoff).

例题Worked example

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃(ΔH° = −92 kJ/mol):K(298 K) ≈ 6×10⁵,K(700 K) ≈ 10⁻⁴ ——高温不利于平衡产率,所以哈伯法需权衡速率与平衡。

Ammonia synthesis: K falls from ~6×10⁵ at 298 K to ~10⁻⁴ at 700 K — the Haber trade-off between rate and yield.
