When is this equation used?

The Van't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature given the standard enthalpy change.

This equation can be used to analyze the relationship between K and the change in temperature.

it can be used to find K, change in T, and enthalpy

You can use it when you can assume that delta H and delta S are the same at both temps.

The Van't Hoff equation relates the equilibruim constant to standard condition enthalpy and entropy. You can overlap two instances of the Van't Hoff equation to find the change in enthalpy at two different temperatures.

It relates the change in temperature to the change in reaction constant.

This equation relates K (both Kp and Kc) to temperature. So any time a problem is asking about one of those in relation to each other, it's probably a good indication to use it.

Because this equation relates the change in temperature to the change in reaction constant, you can use it to figure out either one of these things, depending on the information given.

The Van't Hoff equation is usually used to explore the changes in state function of a thermodynamic system

We can use this equation to find the the equilibrium constant, the change in temperature, and enthalpy.

This equation is mainly used in order to determine a different equilibrium constant in response to a change in temperature. Hope this helps!

You can use the Van't Hoff equation to find K or the change in temperature as it relates these two things to each other.

You would use it to find a missing value of change in temperature, enthalpy, or K

You use it when you are trying to calculate K at different temperature values or it can be used to find changes in T and enthalpy.

This equation is especially effective in estimating the change in enthalpy and entropy of a chemical reaction.

If you are given changes in temp and know ds and dh are contsant, you can use it to find k. If you are given k and one temp you can find the other. You can also relate it to enthalpy.
