Entropy and free energy Flashcards
2nd Law of thermodynamics
All process occur spontaneously in the direction that increase the entropy of the universe (Entropy can’t be negative)
Entropy and Enthaply are __________
State Functions (where it only matter about inital and final and not the direction taken)
3rd law of thermodynamics
A perffect crystal has azero enthaply at absolute zero (Ssys = 0 at 0 K )
Entropy (S) is an __________ where it depends on the amount of substance
Extensive Property
What are the units for molar entropy (So)
J/mol * K
Temperature is _________ proportional to entropy
Directly
Why does entropy (S) increase as the temp increase?
Because the kinetic energy increases so the particles move faster which means can form more different groups)
List the order of entropy increasing with the phases of a substance
Sosoild < Soliquid < Sogas
The increase of from a liquid to gas is ________ than from a solid to a liquid
Larger (ΔSovap > ΔSofus)
The standard entropy of reaction (ΔSorxn)
Is the entropy change that occurs when all reactants and products are in the standard state
Formula for ΔSorxn
ΔSorxn = Soproducts - Soreactants
In an exothermic reaction heat is ___________ by the system and absorbed by the surroundings
Released
In an endothermic reaction heat is _________ by the system from the surroundings realsing it
Absorbed
Formula for ΔSsurroundings related to rempteraure and qsystem
ΔSsurr = - qsys/ T
Formula for ΔSsurr related to enthaply and temperature
ΔSsurr = - ΔHsys / T
When a reaction is at equilibrium the entropy of the universe is equal to what?
Zero (ΔSUniv = 0 )
Gibbs free energy equation
ΔGsys = ΔHsys - TΔSsys
When ΔG is _________ then a reaction is spontaneous
Less than zero
When ΔG is ________ then a reaction is nonspontaneous
Greater than zero
When ΔG is _________ then a reaction is at equilibrium
Equal to zero
Standard free energy equation
ΔGosys = ΔHosys - TΔSosys
What is the equation for ΔGorxn
ΔGorxn = ΔGoproducts - ΔGoreactants
Equation used for ΔG when its at equilibrium (and standard conditions are used)
ΔGo = -RTlnK
Equation used for ΔG when not at standard conditions
ΔG = ΔGo + RT ln Q
When ΔG is spontaneous (ΔG <0) then the reaction goes from _____________
Left to right (Reactants to Products)
When ΔG is nonspontaneous (ΔG > 0) the _________ reaction is spontaneous means it goes from ___________
Reverse Reaction, from right ot left
