Exam 3: ch 19 + 20 Flashcards
enthalpy
heat absorbed or released by a system during a constant pressure process
entropy
measure of randomness/disorder in a system
1st law of thermodynamics
-energy can not be created or destroyed, but only converted or transferred
-delta E (sys)=q+w
spontaneous process
proceeds w/o any outside assistance
reverse of spontaneous
nonspontaneous
nonspontaneous
proceeds w/ outside assistance only
factors that affect spontaneity
temperature and pressure
reversible process
system changes so that the system and surroundings can return to original state
irreversible process
cannot be undone by exactly reversing the change
are spontaneous process reversible
no
is entropy a state function
yes
state function
actual path is not relevant to final answer
delta S (when given heat and temp.)
=q/T
2nd law of thermodynamics
the entropy of the universe increases in any spontaneous process
delta S (univ) >0
irreversible process, spontaneous
delta S (univ)= 0
reversible process
microstate
a single possible arrangement of position and kinetic energy of molecules
boltzman equation
S=kln(w)
w- # of microstates
k- boltzman constant (1.38 x 10^-23)
more microstates =
more entropy
degrees of freedom (DOF)
types of motion
translation
movement of entire molecule
vibration
movement of atoms w/in molecule
(stretching/ contracting of bonds/angles)
rotational
movement about an axis
the # of microstates possible increases w/
increase of: volumes, temperature, and number of atoms
entropy order of states of matter
gas>liquid>solid
when the # of gas molecules increases
the entropy of a system increases
delta n > 0
increase in entropy
delta n < 0
decrease in entropy
entropy of a pure crystalline substance at absolute zero is…
zero
enthalpy, entropy, and free energy formation of a rxn
products- reactants, use given values multiplied by coefficients
standard entropy for elements
zero
entropy unit
J/mol x K
