16
Q

third law of thermodynamics

A

the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero at absolute zero

17
Q

standard molar entropy

A

the absolute entropy of one mole of a substance in its standard state at 298 K and one bar of pressure

18
Q

as the complexity of molecular structure increases,

A

entropy increases

19
Q

qsurr =

A

-deltaHsys

20
Q

gibbs free energy

A

the maximum energy released by a process occurring at constant temperature and pressure that is available to do useful work

21
Q

if the system experiences an increase in entropy then,

A

Srxn is greater than 0

22
Q

if the process is exothermic

A

Hrxn is less than 0

23
Q

deltaGf

A

the change in free energy associated with the formation of one mole of it in its standard state from its elements in their standard states

24
Q

deltaG =

A

energy that does work

25
Q

if H is negative and S is positive

A

deltaG is always less than 0 and always spontaneous

26
Q

if H and S are negative

A

deltaG is less than 0 at lower temperatures and spontaneous at lower temperatures

27
Q

if H and S are positive

A

deltaG is less than 0 at higher temperatures and spontaneous at higher temperatures

28
Q

if H is positive and S is negative

A

deltaG is greater than 0 and never spontaneous

29
Q

deltaG is less than 0, K is

A

large and favors the products

30
Q

deltaG is slightly negative, K

A

slightly favors the products

31
Q

deltaG is greater than 0, K is

A

small and favors the reactants
