Question
Answer
spontaneity   the direction that a process will take, if left alone and given sufficient time  
🗑
entropy   the quantitative measure of disorder  
🗑
absolute entropy   represents the entropy change of a substance taken from absolute zero to a given temperature  
🗑
second law of thermodynamics   the total entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process  
🗑
third law of thermodynamics   a pure, perfect crystal at 0 Kelvin has zero entropy  
🗑
free energy   G-the part of a system's energy that is ordered and available to become spontaneously disordered  
🗑
dynamic equilibrium   exists when a reversible reaction ceases to change its ratio of reactants/products, but substances move between the chemicals at an equal rate, meaning there is no net change  
🗑
equilibrium constant   Keq ratio of the rate constants fo rthe forward reaction and the reverse  
🗑
Le Chatelier's principle   If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will adjust to compensate for that stress  
🗑
reaction mechanism   the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs  
🗑
temperature affects reaction rates   The two molecules will only react if they have enough energy. By heating the mixture, you will raise the energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction. Increasing temperature means the molecules move faster.  
🗑
concentration affects reaction rates   Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the frequency of collisions between the two reactants that are at high enough energy levels to react.  
🗑
catalyst   Substance that alters the velocity of a chemical reaction and may be recovered essentially unaltered in form and amount at the end of the reaction  
🗑
relationship between entropy and spontaneous direction   concept of entropy evolved in order to explain why some processes are spontaneous and others are not; systems tend to progress in the direction of increasing entropy.[8] Entropy is as such a function of a system's tendency towards spontaneous change  
🗑
how to measure absolute entropy   Delta S = Delta Q/T. So, we measure the heat removed or added to the system, and divide by the temperature of the system to find the change in entropy  
🗑
an imperfect crystal does not have zero entropy because   there is still vibrational energy moving molecules around  
🗑
why does entropy increase when heated   when a substance is heated, its entropy increases because the energy acquired and that previously within it can be far more dispersed on the previous higher energy levels and on those additional high energy levels that now can be occupied  
🗑
calculate change in entropy given products and reactants entropy   the entropies of the products minus the entropies of the reactants keeping in mind that number of moles are multiplied by the individual entropies  
🗑
determine spontaneity from change in free energy   delta G is negative spontaneous delta G is zero equilibrium delta G is positive nonspontaneous reaction  
🗑
change in free energy when temperature changes   delta G=-RTlnK where delta G gets greater as Temperature gets greater  
🗑
adding reactant leads to formation of products because   the balance is leaning towards reactants so we need more products to balance it out  
🗑
removing a product leads to formation of more products because   the balance is leaning towards reactants so we will need more products to balance it out  
🗑
increasing temperature shift the equilibrium in the endothermic direction because   because endothermic reactions use it heat to drive it therefore adding heat will drive an endothermic reaction  
🗑
how to write and solve for K   concentrations of products over concentrations of reactants each to their stoichiometric power  
🗑
change in temperature affects equilibrium by   more heat shifts towards endothermic reaction where less heat shifts towards exothermic reaction  
🗑
change in pressure affects equilibrium by   more pressure shifts towards side with less moles where less pressure shifts towards side with more moles  
🗑
change in concentration affects equilibrium by   more products towards reactants less products toward products more reactants toward products less reactants toward reactants  
🗑
addition of a catalyst affects equilibrium by   in no way at all it speeds up both forward and reverse reactions it does not affect equilibrium  
🗑


   

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.
