Question

The linear relationship between these two quantities for closely-related reactions, such as similar solvents or substituents, may be a statistical artifact. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name both of these two quantities subject to a “compensation effect” that is a sufficient condition for LFERs (“L-F-E-R’s”).
ANSWER: entropy AND enthalpy [accept enthalpy–entropy compensation; accept S in place of “entropy”; accept H in place of “enthalpy”]
[10e] LFERs model linear relationships for this quantity, which is defined as the enthalpy of a system minus the product of temperature and entropy.
ANSWER: Gibbs free energy [or G; or Gibbs energy or reaction energy; prompt on free energy or potential energy]
[10m] This scientist’s namesake plot of “log K-sub-eq” against inverse temperature has enthalpy and entropy in the formulas for its intercept and slope, respectively. A quantity named for this scientist is less than one for compounds that dimerize in solution.
ANSWER: Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff (“van utt HOFF”) [accept van ’t Hoff equation or van ’t Hoff plot or van ’t Hoff factor]
