Entropy/Free Energy
Chem 2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chemical Thermodynamics | provides info about equilibrium and whether a reaction is spontaneous |
| Exothermic (∆H) | ∆H<0 |
| Endothermic (∆H) | ∆H>0 |
| In order to be spontaneous the energy... | of the product must be less than the reactant |
| entropy | randomness vs orderliness of a system |
| A spontaneous process results in.... | an increase in the entropy of the universe (DeltaS>0) |
| A perfect crystal has... | 0 entropy and 0 K |
| Enthalpy is measured in... | Kilojoules |
| Entropy is measured in... | joules |
| entropy depends on... | Phase, complexity, weight, and temp |
| an increase in temp results in... | an increase in entropy |
| entropy of pure elements | 0 |
| an entropic process is spontaneous if... | Delta S > 0 |
| (∆S (sur) = | -Delta H (sy)/ T |
| ∆S(un)= | Delta S (sy) + (-Delta H/T) |
| Spontaneous at all temperatures | Exothermic and positive entropy |
| Spontaneous at lower temperatures | Exothermic and negative entropy |
| Spontaneous at high temperatures | Endothermic and positive entropy |
| Never spontaneous | Endothermic and Negative entropy |
| Gibbs Free energy equation | Delta S(un)= DeltaH- T x Delta S |
| Forward and Spontaneous reaction | Delta G is large and negative |
| Forward and non-spontaneous | Delta G is large and positive |
| product favored | -Delta H, +delta S, -delta G |
| Reactant favored | +Delta H, -delta S, +delta G |
| Temp dependent | -,- or +,+ |
| Positive DeltaS | Spontaneous |
| Negative DeltaS | not spontaneous |
