Q

when does a gradual increase in entropy change to a large increase on the temperature graph?

A

when a change in state occurs

17
Q

how does heat released by an exothermic reaction alter the entropy?

A

it increases it

18
Q

how does heat absorbed by an endothermic reaction system alter the entropy?

A

it decreases it

19
Q

what is the standard entropy? (ΔS)

A

the entropy of a substance at its standard state

20
Q

where are values of standard entropy found?

A

page 18 of the data booklet

21
Q

what does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) represent?

A

the excess energy available beyond what is needed to make the reaction spontaneous

22
Q

what does it mean if ΔG is less than 0?

A

reaction is feasible/spontaneous

23
Q

what does it mean if ΔG is 0?

A

reaction is just feasible/at equilibrium

24
Q

what does it mean if ΔG is greater than 0?

A

reaction is not feasible/spontaneous

25
Q

a reversible reaction proceeds spontaneously until…

A

a composition is reached where ΔG is 0

26
Q

when calculating ΔG, which value must be divided by 1000?

A

ΔS
