Entropy/Free Energy

        Help!  

Question
Answer
First Law of Thermodynamics   the energy of the universe is constant  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics   the universe tends toward disorder; the entropy of the universe is increasing  
🗑
Third Law of Thermodynamics   the entropy of a perfect crystal at 0 K is 0; a perfect crystal represents the lowest possible entropy because it has a highly regular structure = only ONE possible configuration  
🗑
How does temperature affect entropy?   as the temperature increases, so does entropy (increasing temp increases the random motions/disorder)  
🗑
When will an increase in temp/energy have a greater impact?   increase in temp/energy has a greater impact on something that started with a lower energy  
🗑
What affect does pressure have on entropy?   as pressure increases, entropy decreases. higher pressure = higher entropy  
🗑
What point will a reaction usually stop at?   equilibrium, because it is the lowest possible free energy point  
🗑
What is Wmax?   Wmax = G; maximum possible useful work obtainable from a process at constant temp/pressure; equal to the change in free energy  
🗑
What is deltaG?   the amount of free energy available to do useful work; deltaG = deltaH - TdeltaS  
🗑
What is "wasted" energy?   energy that is used doing something other than work, such as used in frictional heating  
🗑
Reversible Process   process that can be performed forward and in reverse, and end up w/ the universe exactly the same as it was before the process began; can only occur hypothetically  
🗑
Irreversible Process   universe is different after cyclic process is performed; system returns to its original state, but surrounds has to furnish a net amount of work; all real processes are irreversible  
🗑
How does the energy crisis relate to entropy?   when gas+O2 combust, the energy in bonds spreads over the surroundings as thermal energy instead of being concentrated; the thermal energy is harder to use. the energy has become more disordered (increase in entropy) and less useful (energy crisis)  
🗑
deltaS of surroundings   deltaS of surroundings = -deltaH / T in K  
🗑
Spontaneous Process   occurs without outside intervention  
🗑
Positional Probability   depends on the number of positional microstates (spatial configurations) that yield a specific state  
🗑
deltaS of universe   deltaS of universe = deltaS of system + deltaS of surroundings; deltaS universe = -deltaG / T in K  
🗑


   

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.
