Lecture notes all inclusive unit 3 Flashcards
How far does the reaction proceed?
K value products are favored K>1
How fast does the reaction proceed?
Value of k, when rate constant is large the reaction is fast
Under what conditions will the reaction proceed?
Values of delta H, entropy and gibbs energy
A chemical or a physical change that is thermodynamically favored by nature
Spontaneous process
Spontanious process occur (with/without) continuous outside intervention
without
Which process is NOT spontaneous at 25 ºC? A. The melting of an ice cube. B. The sublimation of dry ice, CO 2(s). C. The boiling of liquid nitrogen. D. The freezing of ethanol.
D.
A thermodynamically spontaneous reaction (does not necessarily/ does) proceed at an observable rate
does not neccesarily
Kinetics deals with reaction rates thermodyanimics deals with ______
spontaneity
A spontaneous process is always non spontaneous in the _______
reverse direction
Is it possible to reverse a spontaneous process?
-Sometimes. We need an input of energy
Temperature affects spontaneity for ____ ____ ____ ___
Phase changes and such
A T=0C for water which direction is spontaneous
neither
A process that can be reversed by an infinitesimally small change in a variable
Reversible process
What is reversed?
Both the system and its surroundings
Whenever melting or a similar phase change is spontaneous
Irreversible process
Reversing an irreversible process can only return the ____ to its original state, not the surroundings.
system
For any ______ process, the process is _______ since the surroundings will have changed
spontaneous, irreversible
Most spontaneous reactions are (endothermic/exothermic)
exothermic
For an endothermic reaction to be spontaneous:
Delta S system and delta S surroundings > 0
In an isolated system _____ ___ must be greater then zero while _____ _____ equals 0 always
Delta S system,
Delta S surroundings
For a reversible process Delta SUniverse= Delta S system+ Delta S surroundings (=, >,
=
For irreversible processes: Delta S universe= DeltaS system+ Delta S surroundings (, =)
>
Entropy is a measurement of
Randomness
Entropy is a _____ function
state So Delta S= Sfinal-Sinitial
