Equation 7 is the van’t Hoff equation and is used for determining the
standard state entropy change (ΔS0,
kJ·mol-1·K-1) and enthalpy change
(ΔH0, kJ·mol-1). In the equation,
the slope and intercept of the plots in Figures 1 to 3 represent\(\frac{-\Delta H^{0}}{R}\) and \(\ \frac{\Delta S^{0}}{R}\),
respectively with R being the Universal gas constant
(8.3145x10-3kJ·mol-1·K-1). Furthermore, the
standard state Gibbs free energy change (ΔGo,
kJ·mol-1) of the reaction can be calculated using
Equation 8. The values of ΔHo, ΔSoand ΔGo for the studied amines are summarized in
Tables 5 to 10.
\begin{equation}
\ln\left(K_{a}\right)=\ -\ln\left(10^{{pK}_{a}}\right)=\ \frac{S^{o}}{R}+\ \frac{-H^{o}}{\text{RT}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (7)\nonumber \\
\end{equation}\begin{equation}
G^{o}=R.T.\ln\left(10^{pK_{a}}\right)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (8)\nonumber \\
