Second Law Of Thermodynamics (spontaneous Or Not) Flashcards
Some reactions have spontaneity because they become _
More disordered
Other reactions are spontaneous because they
Give off energy in the form of heat (exothermic)
The Gibbs Free Energy (G) function relates _ of a reaction (2)
Entropy
Enthalpy
Gibbs free energy (G) is the energy from a chemical reaction used to do _
Work
Spontaneous means _
“Yes” the reaction will happen
No spontaneous means _
“No” reaction will not happen
Spontaneous, in this context, has nothing to do with _ at which a reaction will happen (2)
Rate
Speed
Sometimes the phase thermodynamically favorable is used which means
In terms of heat and disorder, the reaction occurs
Systems in nature have _ heat
Exothermic (tend toward more disorder)
Tend toward disorder means they have a _
Negative Gibbs value
