A

mathematical form, reaction quotient, anytime, equilibrium

(The equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient have the same mathematical form, but the concentrations in the reaction quotient can be the concentrations at any time, not just at equilibrium)

Q

If Q > Keq what does this say about the equilibrium? does the reaction shift?

A

The system is NOT at equilibrium and the system will produce more reactants to reach equilibrium (shift to the left)

17
Q

Fill in the blank: a spontaneous process occurs under a ______________

A

Specific set of conditions

18
Q

What type of reaction will proceed without any outside intervention?

A

One that is spontaneous in the forward direction

19
Q

What are the units for enthalpy?

A

kj/mol

20
Q

What type of process can do work and what type of process requires work?

A

A spontaneous process can do work and a nonspontaneous process requires work

21
Q

True or false: a spontaneous process can happen slowly

A

Yes, speed of rxn does not change whether the process is spontaneous or not

22
Q

What is a restatement of the first law of thermodynamics?

A

Energy can be converted to a different form but not created or destroyed

23
Q

What is the third law of thermodynamics?

A

The entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is equal to zero at absolute zero

24
Q

True or false: the following relationship is correct: Ssurr=-Hsys/T

A

True

25
Q

True or false: For two substances in the same phase, and with similar molar masses, the substance with less complex structure has greater standard entropy

A

False

26
Q

Fill in the blank: A molecule of O2 has less ______ _______ than a molecule of F2

A

Motional Energy

27
Q

Fill in the blank: a higher temperature correlates with a ______ average molecular speed

A

Higher

28
Q

What is entropy a measure of?

A

How spread out or dispersed the system’s energy is

29
Q

Fill in the blank: For two monatomic species, the one with the larger molar mass has the ________ standard entropy

A

Greater

30
Q

Is there a difference between Gibbs free energy and free energy?

A

No, but make sure they are in fact asking about free energy and NOT standard free energy

31
Q

What is the standard free energy change of a reaction?

A

It is the energy change in a reaction that occurs during standard-state conditions

32
Q

When is Gibbs free energy spontaneous? When is it at equilibrium?

A

DeltG>0 non-spontaneous in the forward direction, spontaneous in the reverse direction
DeltG<0 spontaneous in the forward direction, non-spontaneous in the reverse direction
DeltG=0 reaction is at equilibrium, not spontaneous in any direction

33
Q

When both enthalpy and entropy change are negative, what is the spontaneity of the reaction?

A

It can be either spontaneous or nonspontaneous depending on the temperature

34
Q

For the following reaction, Kp=0.113 at 25*C, and the standard free energy change is 5.4 kj/mol. If Todd does an experiment where the initial pressures are PN2O4=0.452 atm and PNO2=0.122 atm, what are the correct units of the free energy change of the reaction? N2O4(g)–>2NO2(g)

A

kj/mol

35
Q

Fill in the blank: If Q is positive then _________ are favored at equilibrium

A

Products

36
Q

How is free energy change of a reaction calculated?

A

DeltG=G°+RTlnQ

37
Q

True or false: Even if a system starts out with all reactants and products in their standard states, as soon as the reaction begins, standard state conditions no longer exist.

A

True

38
Q

True or false: the sign of DeltG tells us the same thing as the comparison of Q and K values

A

True

39
Q

Choose: The size of the equilibrium constant (does/does not) vary with temperature

A

Does

40
Q

What is the relationship between the equilibrium constant and the standard free energy?

A

When DeltG°=0 then K = 1
When DeltG°>0 then K < 1
When DeltG°<0 then K > 1
