Thermodynamics
heat-power or force
interaction between system and surrounding
• It is a reaction that occurs on its own
• without intervention of an external
force.
Spontaneous reaction
▪ This implies that rust
particles cannot be
converted into iron metal by
itself.
• It is a reaction that occurs on its own
• without intervention of an external
force.
nonspontaneous
reaction
is the thermodynamic quantity of randomness or
disorder of particles-atoms, molecules or ions. It is related to the
number of possible arrangements for a given quantity of particles.
Entropy (S)
is the
absolute entropy of 1 mole of a
substance at standard conditions (
1atm and 25°C).
Standard Entropy (S°)
Order of increasing standard
entropy:
Solid<Liquid<Gas
Molecules with greater number
of atoms have greater entropies
as a result of a greater number
of molecular motions
Standard Entropy
▪ Bigger atoms have
greater entropies than
smaller atoms for having
smaller spacing between
energy levels.
▪ This property of bigger
atoms contribute to its
higher degree of
disorder.
