CHAPTER 19 TEST Flashcards
Laws of Thermodynamics:
2nd law- the universe constantly increases in disorder
3rd law- absolute entropy can be determined at only temperatures above 0K
Spontaneous
Definite forming of products Does not define a time frame Disorder or different positions Represented by the letter S Discovered by Ralph Clausius In ***** J/K mol ****** Are the products or reactants thermodynamically favored?
HOW TO PREDICT ENTROPY
Changes in state of matter: solid<gas
Forming solutions increases entropy
Pressure changes- entropy increases with LOWER PRESSURE bc lower pressure means more volume = more positions
Volume
Number of molecules- THE MORE THE MERRIER
ENTROPY MUST BE….
POSITIVE TO FORM PRODUCTS
If - & - , then you must reverse the rxn!
Exothermic
Surrounding entropy is positive
Endothermic
Surrounding entropy is negative
Remember taxes
Magnitude of entropy
Depends on the temp.; transferring heat into low temps. Produces a much greater change in disorder than at high temps
Gibb’s free energy
HOW MUCH WORK DO YOU THINK ITS CAPABLE OF DOING?
Canberra used to show the direction that a reaction will proceed under any circumstance
Negative = spontaneous
Positive = not spontaneous
0= equilibrium ( unable to be seen) **phase changes
Law of mass action
Gives us a relationship between the concentration of products and concentration of reactants *(K)
(Pressure of molarity of products)/(pressure of molarity of reactants)
K is Q if not at standard conditions
R= gas law constant= .0083145 kJ/mol K
K=1=Q EQUILIBRIUM
K>1>Q products are thermodynamically favored
K<Q reactants are favored
Spontaneity with delta H and delta S
^ H ^S
- + = always spontaneous
+ + = spontaneous at high temps
- - = spontaneous at low temps.
+ - = never spontaneous
