Term
Definition
spontaneous process   a process that is capable of proceeding in a given direction, as written or described, without needing to be driven by an outside source of energy.  
🗑
reversible process   a process that can go back and forth between states along exactly the same path;a system at equilibrium is reversible if equilibrium can be shifted by an infinitesimal modification of a variable such as temperature  
🗑
irreversible process   a process that is not reversible; and as a result, some of its potential for accomplishing work is dissipated as heat. any spontaneous process is irreversible in practice  
🗑
isothermal process   one that occurs at constant temperature  
🗑
second law of thermodynamics   when a process occurs spontaneously in one direction, it is non-spontaneous in the reverse direction. in any spontaneous process the entropy of the universe increases  
🗑
entropy   a thermodynamic function associated with the number of different equivalent energy states or spatial arrangements in which a system may be found  
🗑
translational motion   movement in which an entire molecule moves in a definite direction  
🗑
vibrational motion   movement of the atoms within a molecule in which they move periodically toward and away from one another  
🗑
rotational motion   movement of a molecule as though it is spinning like a top  
🗑
microstate   the state of a system at a particular instant; one of many possible states of the system  
🗑
third law of thermodynamics   a law stating that the entropy of a pure, crystalline solid at absolute zero temperature is zero  
🗑
standard molar entropy (S degree)   the entropy value for a mole of a substance in its standard state  
🗑
Gibbs free energy   a thermodynamic state function that combines enthalpy and entropy; in the form G= H - TS  
🗑
standard free energies of formation ( delta G degree sub f)   the change in free energy associated with the formation of a substance from its elements under standard conditions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
