Reaction Feasibility + Chemical Equillibrium for some reason Flashcards
What is the standard enthalpy of formation?
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its elements in their standard states
standard enthalpy equation?
ΔH°= ΣΔHf (products) – ΣΔHf (reactants)
What is entropy(S)?
A measure of the degree of disorder
What does the second law of thermodynamics state?
the total entropy of a reaction system and its surroundings always increases for a spontaneous reaction
Heat energy absorbed by the reaction system from the surroundings
decreases the entropy of the surroundings
an increase in temperature increases
entropy
What does the third law of thermodynamics state?
The entropy of a perfect crystal at 0K is zero
Gibbs equation?
ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°
negative ΔH°
positive ΔS°
ΔG° is negative, reaction is always feasible
positive ΔH°
negative ΔS°
ΔG° is positive, reaction is never feasible
negative ΔH°
negative ΔS°
Reaction is only feasible at low temperatures
positive ΔH°
positive ΔS°
Reaction is only feasible at high temperatures
To calculate the temperature let
ΔG°=0
K depends on the reaction
temperature
K>1 means
the equillibrium lies to the right (more products than reactants)
K<1 means
the equillibrium lies to the left (more reactants than products)
K=
[C][D] /[A][B] (products on the numerator, reactants on the denominator) (raise each to the number of moles)
What is the equillibrium constant? (K)
characterises the equillibrium composition of the reaction mixture
The concentrations of pure liquids and solids is
1
For endothermic reactions, a rise in temperature causes an _________ in K and the yield of the product is ____________
increase, increased
What does amphoterric mean?
can act as both an acid and a base
pH equation?
pH= -log[H+]
What is Kw?
dissociation constant
Kw equation?
Kw=[H+][OH-]
