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.
