Q

what is translational motion

A

whole atom or molecule changes its location in 3d space

Q

what is rotational motion

A

whole molecule spins around an axis in 3D space

32
Q

what is vibratinoal motion and what are the subtypes of vibrational motion

A

motion chat changes only the shape of the molecule
1, stretching, bending, internal rotation

33
Q

when will entropy of a system also increase again

A
  1. perform endothermic PHASE change
  2. dissolve salt with lowly charged ions
  3. # of moles increases during a chemical rxn
34
Q

what has more motion an atomic or a molecule and what can’t atoms do

A

a molecule
atoms can’t rotate

35
Q

what is the equation for the System

A

qrev/T

36
Q

what is the difference between reversible and irreversible

A
  • irreversible cannot be undone
  • reversible can be undone
37
Q

what processes are isothermal

A

melting and vaporization

38
Q

what is qrev/T equivalent to

A

nHfus/ T

39
Q

what are the SI units for Ssystem

A

J/K

40
Q

what is the equation for Sunive

A

Syst + Surr = Suniv

41
Q

what does Ssurr depend on

A

how much heat is absorbed or given

42
Q

if Hsys is negative then what happens to the entropy of Surr

A

the entropy of the surroundings increases

43
Q

what is the equation for Suniv when its a reversible process

A

Suniv = System + surrounds= 0

44
Q

what is the equation for a irrevesible process for Suniv

A

Suniv = system + surr > 0

45
Q

sys (+)
surr (+)
Suniv (+)
is it spontaneous or not

A

it is spontaneous

46
Q

A

the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward but spontaneous in the reverse

47
Q

sys = +
surr = -
univ =/

A

yes spontaneous if the system is larger than the surrounding

48
Q 
sys = - 
surr = + 
univ = ?
A

yes, if the surr is larger than the sys

49
Q

what 2 factors are involved in spontaneous processes

if H>0 what will the spontaneity be

A
  1. endothermic
  2. spontaneous of S is > 0 2 certain temps
51
Q

if H<0 what is the spontaneity

A
  1. process is exothermic
  2. if S <0 then it is nonspon. at certain temps

heat is exiting the system

52
Q

A
  1. invented by american J gibbs
  2. G = H-TS
  3. free energy
53
Q

What is the gibbs free energy equation for processes occurring at a constant temp

A

54
Q

what is the relationship between spontaneity with G and S

at equilibrium

57
Q

g>0

the amount of energy required to raise the temp of a substance by 1 K

63
Q

what is the third law of thermodyamics

A
  1. decrease the thermal energy = motional energy decreases

what does the 3rd law of thermo say about the entropy of a pure crystalline

A

@ abs 0 is 0

65
Q

what increases the standard molar entropies

  • standard conditions
68

when does Delta G = 0

A

elements that are in their standard states

ex. H2, O2, n2

69
Q

what rules do tou apply to delta G that are like hess’s law

A
  1. muliply by some factor, then Grxn is also multiplied by the same factor
  2. flipped (change the sign of the Grxn)
70
Q

how can a nonspontaneous reaction be made spontaneous

A

by coupling it with another process that is highly spontaneous

71
Q

how does Delta G relate to Delta G (degrees)

A
  1. as volume increases= microstates increases= decrease in pressure
  2. for real reactions that are not under nonstandard conditions

G = G + RT ln Q

  • R = 8.314J/mol.K

Q= prod/react

72
Q

what is G equation at equilibrium

A

K = e^-G/RT

73
Q

how is work and free energy related to free energy

A

max work is equal to the change in free energy

Wmax= G
