Lesson 10 - Thermodynamics Cont. (Gibbs) Flashcards
16.4
Enthalpy (H)
How much heat is taken in or given off by a system.
Heat (q)
Exchange of thermal energy due to a temperature difference.
Thermal Energy
The total of all kinetic energies within a given system.
(energy in an object or system due to the movement of its molecules and atoms).
Delta S Fusion Equation
∆S = ∆Hf / T
Temperature (Definition)
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system.
Gibbs Free Energy (Def)
Energy that is available (free) to do work.

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°
or
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Gibbs Free Energy (Standard free energies formation equation) Alternate method from ΔG° formation.
ΔG° = (Sum ΔG° products) - (Sum ΔG° reactants)
ΔG° < 0
Spontaneous (free energy in system used for reaction).
ΔG° > 0
Nonspontaneous (Outside energy used)
ΔG° = 0
Equilibirum
Dealt S Vaporization Equation
delta S (vap) = delta H (vap) / T(boiling point in K).
In a spontaneous process at constant temp and pressure, the free energy always
A. Increases
B. Decreases
B. Decreases - spontaneous processes use up their free energy.
Spontaneous Reactions are more likely to be?
A. Exothermic (ΔH < 0)
B. Endothermic (ΔH > 0)
Exothermic - they result in a decrease ΔH < 0 of the systems overall energy.
ΔG scenario(s) when:
ΔS > 0 and ΔH > 0 (endothermic)
ΔG < 0 - at high temps.
ΔG scenario(s) when:
ΔS < 0 and ΔH > 0 (endothermic)
ΔG > 0 - at ANY temp.
ΔG scenario(s) when:
ΔS > 0 and ΔH < 0 (exothermic)
ΔG < 0 - at ANY temp.
ΔG scenario(s) when:
ΔS < 0 and ΔH < 0 (exothermic)
ΔG < 0 - at low temps.
Gibbs Free Energy Equilibrium (Non-Standard) Equation. (Find ΔG)
ΔG = ΔG°+ RT*ln(Q)
Gibbs Free Energy (Standard Conditions Equation) at Equilibrium
ΔG° = -RT*ln(keq)
Gibbs Free Energy (Nonstandard Conditions) Definition.
Instantaneous difference in free energy between the reactants and products.
Reaction Quotient (Q) Definition
Ratio of units for the concentrations or pressure of the products over the reactants at a specific point of time.
Keq (Definition)
Ratio of units for the concentrations of the products over the reactants at equilibrium.
If ΔG < 0 what is Keq and which way is the reaction going?
Keq > 1
The reaction goes forward.
(More products than reactants at equilbrium).
