Van't Hoff Equation
Can someone explain why temperature is dependent on K in the Van't Hoff Equation?

Re: Van't Hoff Equation
K is just a constant in the equation that relates entropy and enthalpy in a system.
If you want to know more I suggest you look at the section in the thermodynamics tab called Van't Hoff Equation.

Re: Van't Hoff Equation
The intention of the van't Hoff equation is to confirm Le Chatelier's principle for the effect of temperature on K not the other way around. I think you want to think of K being dependent on temperature, not vice versa. According to the equation, a change in temperature of a certain amount changes K which does support Le Chatelier's principle.

Re: Van't Hoff Equation
K depends on temperature, K being when the system is at equilibrium. When a system is at equilibrium, deltaG equals zero.
