Gibbs Free Energy Flashcards
delta H is . . .
change in enthalpy
heat transferred b/w the system and the surroundings
enthalpy
delta S is . . .
change in entropy
the randomness or disorder of the system
entropy
- s –> l
- s –> g
- l –> g
+delta S
- g –> s
- g –> l
- l –> s
-delta S
change that proceeds on its own w/out any outside assistance
spontaneous change
change can only be spontaneous if . . .
delta G is negative
+delta H and +delta S means. . .
spontaneous only at high T
-delta H and +delta S means. . .
spontaneous at ALL T
+delta H and -delta S means. . .
NON-spontaneous at all T
-delta H and -delta S means. . .
spontaneous only at low T
solid changes to liquids or gases
entropy increases (+delta S)
liquids change to gases
entropy increases (+delta S)
solids dissolve in liquid solutions (aq solutions)
entropy increases (+delta S)
the number of gas molecules increases
entropy increases (+delta S)
temp increases
entropy increases (+delta S)
2NH(g) → N2(g) + 3H2(g)
entropy increases (+delta S) (moles of gas increased, 2:4)
the # of particles increased
entropy increases (+delta S)
a rock is crushed
entropy increases (+delta S) (the # of particles increased)
2+ or more pure substances are mixed
entropy increases (+delta S)
any spontaneous change is always accompanied by an overall increase in entropy
second law of thermodynamics
the standard molar entropy for an element is its natural state is NOT ZERO
third law of thermodynamics
