UNIT 6 VOCAB Flashcards
Entropy
Measure of the dispersal of energy at a specific temperature (how disorderly something is)
System
The part of a reaction under investigation (what is reacting)
Surroundings
Everything but the system
Spontaneous changes
Changes that continue to happen naturally and carry on
Standard Conditions for entropy
1 atm, 298 K, normal physical states of substances involved
Feasibility
Whether a reaction can occur spontaneously
Delta S Total
= Delta S system + Delta S surroundings OR = Delta S system - Delta H reaction
Delta S System
= Delta S* products - Delta S* reactants
Entropy and matter states
In order of highest to lowest - gas liquid solid
Delta S* Surroundings
-Delta H* Reaction/Temperature
Gibbs Free Energy
Free energy, used to determine feasibility of rxn
Gibbs Free Energy Formula
Delta G* = -Temperature x Delta S* total
Standard molar entropy
S* - entropy when substances in normal state and conditions
Increase in total entropy
spontaneous change
Decrease in total entropy
non-spontaneous change
