Feasibility Flashcards
For reversible reactions, a feasible reaction is one that…
has the equilibrium lying to the side of the products
For non-reversible reactions, a feasible reaction is one that…
will happen spontaneously at a given temperature
What does STP stand for?
Standard temperature and pressure
What is entropy?
The disorder in a substance.
What has the least and greatest disorder? (Liquid, Gas and Solid)
Solid has the least, gas has the greatest.
If a reaction is spontaneous, the total entropy is….
always increasing
What is Gibbs Free Energy?
The maximum amount of work that can be extracted from a system.
A chemical reaction will be feasible if there is an…
overall increase in entropy
If G is positive the reaction…
would NOT be feasible
If G is negative the reaction…
IS feasible and could occur spontaneoulsy
The entropy of a perfect crystal at 0K is…
0
