Entropy (∆S)

157
Q
  • If an object reaches absolute zero temperature (0 K = -273.15 = -459.67 °)
  • Entropy of perfect, solid, crystalline substance is zero at absolute 0 temperature
158
Q
  • Thermodynamic state function that combines enthalpy and entropy
  • ∆G = ∆H ‒ T∆S
A

Gibb’s free energy (∆G)

159
Q

• Study of reaction rates and reaction mechanism

A

Chemical Kinetics

160
Q
  • Change in concentration of a reactant or product concentration with time
  • aA + bB → cC + dD
A

Reaction Rate (M/s)

161
Q

• Expresses relationship of the rate of reaction to the rate constant (K) and concentration of reactants raised to some
power
• aA + bB → cC + dD

162
Q

• rate of chemical reaction is proportional to the number of collisions per time

A

Collision Theory

163
Q

• (Formation of Intermediate Complex) - rate depends on Ea required to form intermediate state (where new bonds are
formed and old bonds are broken)

A

Transition Theory

164
Q

= ↑ reactivity ↑ reaction rate (faster)

A

Nature of Reactants

165
Q

= ↑ concentration ↑ reaction rate

A

Concentration of Reactants (except Zero order)

166
Q

= ↑ reaction rate

167
Q

= ↑ SA ↓ particle size ↑ reaction rate ↓ reaction time

A

Surface Area

168
Q 
= ↑ Temp ↑ KE ↑ mobility of molecules ↑ collision ↑ reaction rate; 
Arrhenius Equation (T, Ea, RR)
A

Temperature
