18
Q

Standard heat of formation

A

The standard enthalpy of formation of compounds at 1 atm and 25 Celsius, and the substance is in a stable physical state under these conditions. It is 0 for elements

19
Q

Standard enthalpy of reaction

A

The difference in enthalpy beteeen the products and the reactants, when both products and reactants are in their standard state at 298K

20
Q

Gives free energy

A

G = H - TS

21
Q

If dG < 0

A

Then the reaction is spontaneous

22
Q

If dG > 0

A

Then the reaction is not spontaneous

23
Q

If dG = 0

A

Then the system is in a state of equilibrium

24
Q

If dS > 0 & dH <0

A

Spontaneous at all temperatures

25
Q

If dS > 0 & dH > 0

A

Spontaneous at high temperatures

26
Q

If dS < 0 & dH < 0

A

Spontaneous at low temperatures

27
Q

If dS < 0 & dH > 0

A

Nonspontaneous at any temperatures

28
Q

Standard free energy

A

dGrx = sum of dGproducts - sum of dGreactants

29
Q

Chemical potential

A

u = dG/dn
dGb = (u)b•dnb
When phase equilibrium is achieved, the chemical potential of a component is the same in both phases.

30
Q

Gibb’s phase rule

A 
f = c - p + 2
c = # of components in the system
p = # of phases present
f = # of degrees of freedom of a system
31
Q

1 component system Gibb’s phase rule I.e. Pure water
f = 3 - p
If p = 1( the system contains 1 of base), f = 2

A

The system is bivariant

32
Q

1 component system Gibb’s phase rule
f = 3 - p
If p = 2(the system has two phases), f = 1

A

The system is univariant

33
Q

1 component system Gibb’s phase rule
f = 3 - p
If p = 3(three phases), f = 0

A

The system is invariant

34
Q

Bivariant

A

P and T can be modified independently without altering the # of phases

35
Q

Univariant

A

Between two phases on phase equilibria diagram = along the line
For a given temperature, there is only one pressure at which two phases may exist

36
Q

Invariant

A

A point at which all phases are simultaneously at equilibrium aka the triple point no degrees of freedom

37
Q

Colligative properties

A

The physical properties of dilute solutions that depend only on the number of molecules in solution, not their chemical nature.

38
Q

Colligative properties

A

Freezing point depression,
Boiling point elevation,
Osmotic pressure

39
Q

Raoult’s law

A

When a solute is added to a pure solvent, the vapor pressure above the solvent decreases

40
Q

Raoult’s Law

A 
P1 = ix1•P1^o
P1 = vapor pressure of the solvent with added solvent
X1 = mole fraction of solvent
P1^o = vapor pressure of pure solvent
I = # of miles after the solution/# of miles before solution
41
Q

Freezing point depression dTf

A 
dTf = Kf•m(solute)•i 
K = constant
m = mol solute/ kg of solvent
42
Q

Boiling point elevation dTb

A

dTb = Akbar•m(solute)•i

43
Q

Osmotic pressure (pi)

A 
pi = CRT
C = concentration of the solution
T = temp in kelvin
