Quiz 4 Flashcards
Entropy (s)
- describes the number of arrangements (positions or energy levels) avalible in a system.
- the randomness or disorder of a system
- Soilds are more ordered than gases
Second Law of Thermodynamics
in any spontaneous process the entropy of the universe increases
ΔSuniv > 0
How do you determine ΔSuniv
ΔSuniv=ΔSsystem+ΔSsurroundings
Entropy Laws
- S increase as temp rises
- S increases as physical states become less ordered (soild to liquid to gas)
- S often increases when substances are mixes (exept when gasses disolve in liquid)
- S increases as the number of molecules increases
- S usually increases as molcules or atoms get bigger and more complex
qsystem < 0
- Exothermic
- qsurroundings > 0
qsystem > 0
- Endothermic
- qsurroundings < 0
If ΔG < 0
- ΔSuniv > 0
- Spontaneous
- Exothermic
- Favorable
If ΔG > 0
- ΔSuniv < 0
- Non spontaneous
- Endothermic
- Unfavorable
If ΔG = 0
- ΔSuniv = 0
- No tendency for anything to happen
- Equlilbrium
If
* ΔHsys < 0
* ΔSsys > 0
Then
* ΔG < 0
* Spontaneous
If
* ΔHsys >0
* ΔSsys < 0
Then
* ΔG > 0
* non-spontaneous
If
* ΔHsys <0
* ΔSsys < 0
Then
* ΔG depends
* non-spontaneous at high temps and spomtaneous at low temps
If
* ΔHsys >0
* ΔSsys > 0
Then
* ΔG depends
* non-spontaneous at low temps and spontaneous at high temps
In ΔG+ΔH-TΔS which variable needs to be converted?
ΔS, convert from J to KJ
What are coupled reactions?
they make unfavorable processes happen
