70
Q

why do you have to examine both the change in system and surroundings

A

entropy increases in a spontaneous reaction

so that means S(univ) is greater than 0 and entropy is not conserved so you have to look at both because they don’t cancel out

84
Q

what happens if H <0 and what happens if S <0

  • G = -TΔSuniv at constant T and P
89
Q

if g<0 what does that indicate about the spontaneity

A

it is spontaneous ( moving in forward direction) (product favored)

  • S is also greater than 0
90
Q

what happens when ΔG = 0,

A

the reaction is at equilibrium

91
Q

what happens when f ΔG > 0

A

the reaction is nonspontaneous and is the backward direction (aka reactant favored)

  • work has to be applied from the surr for the reaction to occur
92
Q

why is G preferred of S(univ) to describe spontaneity

A

g only depends on the system and avoids the complications of the surroundings

93
Q

what does it mean when S >0

what does it mean when S<0

A

greater than 0 : increase in disorder

less than 0: decrease in disorder

94
Q

what happens if H is - and H is + at low temperature and high temp

Q
A
96
