Equilibrium & energy Flashcards
ΔG is important for biology
- indicates if a process will or will not occur
- indicates how far from the equilibrium a process is
- indicates how much useful work may be available from the process
IfΔG < 0
IfΔG > 0
IfΔG = 0
IfΔG < 0 exergonic process
IfΔG > 0 endergonic process
IfΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium
IfΔG is negative
the reaction is spontaneous, energy releasing (exergonic process)
IfΔG is positive
the reaction is non- spontaneous, with energy supplied (endergonic process – energy is absorbed)
GIBBS free energy change
ΔG =ΔH- TΔS
ΔG = free energy in the system ΔH = change in system’s heat content (enthalpy) ΔS = change in system’s entropy
The first & second thermodynamics are connected by_________
GIBBS free energy change
Natural process always move towards __________ disorder
During some process, the entropy in the system______________
increasing disorder
decreases, i.e. the system becomes more ordered, accompanied by work being done.
Unit for Entropy
ΔS , joules per degree (J/K or JK-1)
Absolute temperature is measured on
measured on the kelvin scale
273 K = 0C -273C =0 K
Third law of thermodynamic
only in the case of pure, crystalline substance at a temperature of absolute zero would the entropy be zero
Second law of thermodynamic
Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be re-arranged
First law of thermodynamic
Conservation states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed
Hee’s Law
the enthalpy change in the reaction doesn’t depend on the reaction pathway
ΔHx =ΔH1 +ΔH2
When writing thermochemical equation:
- Numbers of moles
- State of substance
- Specify temp the reaction is carried out at
ΔH
enthalpy change - the energy change per number of moles
Standard enthalpy of reaction
the energy change of a reaction
Standard enthalpy of combustion
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of substance is completely burned in excess oxygen under standard situation
Standard enthalpy of formation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of compound is produced from its elements in standard conditions, all products and reactants in the standard state
Bond dissociation enthalpy (bond energy)
the energy needed to break one mole of chemical bonds
Change in enthalpy (enthalpy of reaction) formula
ΔH = H(products) – H(reactants)
Units for energy
joules or kilojoules (kJ)
Enthalpy
the energy associate with an element or compounds
System -
Isolated system –
Surrounding -
System - the objects been study
Isolated system – the objects which energy is impossible to transform to/ from
Surrounding - everything else in the universe
Thermochemistry
the study of the quantity of heat absorbed or evolved by chemical reactions
Thermodynamics
the science of the relationship between heat and other form of energy
Factors that affect reaction rate
Explain
~Concentration of reactants > effective collisions occur per unit time
~Temperature > speed up the movement of substance, increase chance of collisions
~ Presence of catalyst > A substance that can speed up the reaction, but chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
~ Surface area > Increase chances of particles contact
~ Pressure (Gaseous reaction) – Increase the amount of particles in the same volume
