The plot of $$\log_{10}^{K} VS \frac{1}{T}$$ gives a straight Line. The intercept and slope respectively are
(where K is equilibrium constant).
The relationship between the equilibrium constant $$K$$ and temperature $$T$$ is given by the van't Hoff equation:
$$\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K$$
and
$$\Delta G^{\circ} = \Delta H^{\circ} - T \Delta S^{\circ}$$
Combining these equations:
$$-RT \ln K = \Delta H^{\circ} - T \Delta S^{\circ}$$
Dividing both sides by $$-RT$$:
$$\ln K = -\frac{\Delta H^{\circ}}{RT} + \frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$$
Since $$\ln K = 2.303 \log_{10} K$$, substitute:
$$2.303 \log_{10} K = -\frac{\Delta H^{\circ}}{RT} + \frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R}$$
Solving for $$\log_{10} K$$:
$$\log_{10} K = \frac{1}{2.303} \left( -\frac{\Delta H^{\circ}}{RT} + \frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{R} \right)$$
Simplify:
$$\log_{10} K = -\frac{\Delta H^{\circ}}{2.303 R} \cdot \frac{1}{T} + \frac{\Delta S^{\circ}}{2.303 R}$$
This equation is in the form $$y = mx + c$$, where:
Comparing with the options:
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
