thermodynamics Flashcards
entropy of surroundings equation
-ΔH/T = ΔS Surroundings
Gibbs equation
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS(sur)
thermochemical definition
quantity used to define whether a reaction tends to go and how far it will go. If negative, reaction is feasible
what is a spontaneous reaction
ΔS(tot) is positive for spontaneous
a process which occurs without input of matter or electrical energy into the system
Table of reaction type
EXO - INC - (-) FEASIBLE
EXO - DEC - (+) - FEASIBLE IF ΔH > TΔS
ENDO - INC - (+) - FEASIBLE IF ΔH < TΔS
ENDO - DEC - (+) - NOT FEASIBLE
what is standard molar entropy
the entropy or degree of randomness of one mole of a sample under standard state conditions
Total entropy equation
ΔH(tot) = ΔS(sur) + ΔS(sys)
entropy of a system equation
ΔS(sys) = S(prod) - S(reac)
what are the conditions for Gibbs to work
needs to be negative
want the exothermic to be more negative than system
