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)
