For a reversible temperature change at constant pressure and fixed composition, and . HenceWith , termwise integration yieldsThe last sign follows from integrating , not . Every term has units ; the logarithm has a dimensionless argument. Inserting 800 K gives an entropy increase of , and thereforeThe standard pressure remains fixed during this integration; the 200-bar equilibrium mixture is not the standard state. Differentiating the integrated expression recovers , providing a check on all five terms. Using the ammonia heat-capacity polynomial here does not retroactively replace the explicitly requested constant-reaction-enthalpy approximation in the preceding equilibrium calculation.
