Thermochemistry
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Entropy | disorder of the universe |
| Free Energy | Spontaneity of a reaction |
| Enthalpy | Heat |
| Exothermic | heat goes from system to surroundings |
| Exothermic (sign) | deltaH is negative |
| Endothermic | heat goes from surroundings to system |
| Endothermic (sign) | deltaH is positive |
| Hess's Law | deltaH is the same if a reaction occurs in one step or a series of steps |
| Standard Enthalpy of Formation (equation) | deltaH of reaction = sum of (moles of products x deltaH of formation of products) - sum of (moles of reactants x deltaH of formation of reactants) |
| Spontaneous (sign) | deltaG is negative |
| Not Spontaneous (sign) | deltaG is positive |
| Increasing Entropy (sign) | deltaS is positive |
| Decreasing Entropy (sign) | deltaS is negative |
| Spontaneity Equation | deltaG = deltaH - TdeltaS |
| Calorimeter Equation | q = s x m x deltaT |
