Assessing the effect of temperature on equilibrium

You are studying the various components of the venom of a poisonous lizard. One of the venom components is a protein that appears to be temperature sensitive. When heated, it denatures and is no longer toxic. The process can be described by the following simple equation:

T (toxic) N (nontoxic)

There is only enough protein from this venom to carry out two equilibrium measurements. At 298 K, you find that 98% of the protein is in its toxic form. However, when you raise the temperature to 320 K, you find that only 10% of the protein is in its toxic form.

a. Calculate the equilibrium constants for the T to N conversion at these two temperatures.


b. Use the data to determine theΔH°,ΔS°, andΔG° for this process.
