the entropy of a gas is

A

generally higher than a liquid than a solid

57
Q

the greater the molar mass the

A

greater the entropy in the same state

58
Q

the less constrained the allotrope results in

A

more places to put energy and therefore greater entropy(graphite has more entropy than diamond)

59
Q

for a given state of matter entropy generally

A

increases with increasing molecular complexity

60
Q

the dissolution of a crystalline solid into solution usually results in

A

an increase in entropy become of greater energy dispersal

61

to calculate deltaSrxn

A

subtract the standard entropies if the reactants multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients from the standard entropies of the products multipled by their stoichiometric coefficients

62

Q

deltaGrxn is a stepwise reaction so you can combine reverse and switch parts as long as you

A

multiply the deltaGrxn by the appropriate factor

70
Q

free energy is the amount of energy available

A

to do work

71
Q

the deltaGrxn is the theoretical maximum amount of free energy available to do work

A

in reality the free energy is even less because additional energy is lost to the surroundings as heat

72
Q

reversible reaction

A

a reaction that achieve the theoretical limit with respect to free energy

A

deltaGrxn represents the minimum amount of energy required to make the reaction occur

75
Q

deltaGrxn represents a theoretical limit

standard conditions

77
Q

deltaGrxn(degree symbol) only applies at

A

standard conditions

78
Q

for nonstandard conditions:

deltaGrxn = deltaGrxn(degree sign) + RT(lnQ)

A

    - T = kelvin
    - R = gas constant(8.314 J/mol*K)
79
Q

under standard conditions Q always equals 1

80
Q

under equilibrium conditions the value of RT(lnQ) is always equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the value of deltaGrxn(degree sign)

  • making deltaGrxn = 0

- nonspontaneous in either direction of the reaction

the reverse direction

83
Q

86
Q

deltaGrxn(degree sign) = -RT(lnK)

A

use Kp for reactions involving gases and use Kc for reactions involving substances dissolved in solution

87
Q

K< 1, lnK is negative and deltaGrxn(degree sign) is positive

A

under standard conditions(Q=1) the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction

88
Q

K> 1, lnK is positive and deltaGrxn(degree sign) is negative

A

under standard conditions(Q=1) the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction

89
Q

A

under standard conditions(Q=1) the reaction is in equilibrium

90
