Why can we assume that ΔSº and ΔHº are constant in the Van't Hoff Equation?

Generally, the change in enthalpy or entropy do not change with temperature. The standard entropies and enthalpies may be different for the compounds, but the change in enthalpy or entropy for the reaction does not vary significantly with change in temperature.

Yes only free energy can be greatly influenced by a change in temperature.

Free energy is the one that changes and is influenced by temperature

T will mostly affect free energy only. One might think that it also changes enthalpy because the addition of heat will change the forward/irreversible reactions of an equation but the change is minimal

The change in delta S and delta H is negligible with a change in temperature so we assume they are constant.
