A

-

78
Q

  • in a solid atoms are vibrate in an orderly arrangement in fixed positions
  • when solid changes to liquid the atoms slide over each other in a disorderly arrangement
  • incr in disorder -> incr in entropy
80
Q

why does a change in phase to a gas lead to a large incr in entropy?

A
  • atoms in gaseous state are free to move about
  • widely spaced -> large incr in volume
  • thus there are more ways to arrange the atoms + distribute energy btw particles
81
Q

how does the mixing of particles lead to an increase in entropy for a gas?

A
  • mixing leads to a higher state of disorder
  • more ways of arranging the particles
  • thus incr entropy
82
Q

in mixing liquids, why does entropy incr?

A
  • mixing leads to incr in total vol

A
84
Q

when ∆S>0 and ∆H>0, when is the reaction spontaneous? why?

A
  • when temp is high
  • as incr temp results in T∆S becoming more positive
  • ∆G = ∆H - T∆S
  • hence ∆G becomes more negative
