Abstract
THE changes in the enthalpy (ΔH0) and the entropy (ΔS0) for a given process are frequently calculated from the temperature-dependence of a parameter (k) that characterizes the process. k may be a rate coefficient, a partition coefficient or even a saturation concentration of a chemical species in a solvent. This calculation is usually equivalent to the determination of both ΔH0 and ΔS0 from the one single equation: so that the two quantities ΔH0 and ΔS0 are not a priori mutually independent.
