T/F Spontaneous reactions need to be exothermic.
No, they can be both exo and endothermic.
ΔG > 0
Nonspontaneous (spontaneous in the opposite direction)
Negative ΔH and Negative ΔS
Reaction proceeds spontaneously at low temps. High temps, the reverse reaction becomes spontaneous.
ΔG < 0
Spontaneous
Positive ΔH and Positive ΔS
Spontaneous at high temps, reverse reaction at low temps
Examples of spontaneous reactions
Sugar dissolving in water but not reforming. Rust forming but not disappearing Water running down a waterfall but not going up
Entropy
a measure of how spread out or dispersed the energy of a system is among the different possible ways that system can contain energy
How does the entropy of a system change for each of the following processes? a. A solid melts b. A liquid freezes. c. A liquid boils. d. A vapor is converted to a solid. e. A vapor condenses to a liquid. f. A solid sublimes. g. Urea dissolves in water.
a. A solid melts - increase b. A liquid freezes. - decreases c. A liquid boils. - increases d. A vapor is converted to a solid. - decreases e. A vapor condenses to a liquid. - decreases f. A solid sublimes. - increases g. Urea dissolves in water. - increases
For each pair of substances listed here, choose the one having the larger standard entropy value at 25ºC. The same molar amount is used in the comparison. Explain the basis for your choice. a. Li(s) or Li(l) b. C2H5OH(l) or CH3OCH3(l) c. Ar(g) or Xe(g) d. CO(g) or CO2(g) e. O2(g) or O3(g) f. NO2(g) or N2O4(g)
a. Li(l) - liquid phase molecules have more intermolecular spaces than solid. b. CH3OCH3 (l) has the ability to form hydrogen bonds C2H5OH(l) thus it has a larger standard entropy value c. Xe (g) has more entropy than Ar (g) because 1 mol Ar has less mass than 1 mole of Xe (g). d. CO2 (g) has larger entropy value than CO (g) because it has a larger mass. e. O3 (g) has larger entropy value than O2 (g) because it has more O, therefore more mass. f. N2O4(g) has greater entropy value than NO2(g) since N2O4 is a dimer of NO2.
First Law of thermodynamics
also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.
Entropy increases as
disorder increases
The third law of thermodynamics
entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is zero at 0 K.
Many biological reactions are
nonspontaneous. They are driven by the hydrolysis of ATP, for which ΔG⁰ is negative.
Standard entropy of reaction (ΔS'rxn)
the difference in standard entropies between products and reactants
The greater the dispersal of energy, the greater
the entropy
The second law of thermodynamics
the entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process.
Standard free-energy of reaction (ΔGrnx)
the free-energy change for a reaction when it occurs under standard state conditions, when reactants in their standard states are converted to products in their standard states.
Negative ΔH and Positive ΔS
ΔG is always negative. Reaction proceeds spontaneously at all temps
Positive ΔH and Negative ΔS
ΔG is always positive. Reverse reaction always spontaneous at all temps
