23
Q

factors that affect spontaneous processes

A

pressure and temperature

24
Q

delta g unit

A

j/mol

25
Q

gibbs free energy

A

determines whether a process is spontaneous or not
- if negative the forward reaction is spontaneous
- if positive the reverse reaction is spontaneous
- if zero the system is at equilibrium

26
Q

if H<0 and S>0

A

spontaneous

27
Q

if H<0 and S<0

A

spontaneous under low temp

28
Q

if H>0 and S>0

A

spontaneous inder high temp

29
Q

if H>0 and S<0

A

not spontaneous

30
Q

phase changes

A

are at equlibrium, delta G = 0

31
Q

if something is thermodynamically favored it will

A

spontaneously occur

32
Q

kinetic control

A

the idea that sometimes spontaneous reactions may not occur
—determines if a thermodynamically favorable reaction will actually occur

33
Q

some reasons reactions with a negative delta G do not occur

A

-High activation energy
-Unfavorable orientations
–high numbers of particles that must collide simultaneously

34
Q

delta H sign meaning

A
  • ~ exo
    + ~ endo
35
Q

free energy at eq

A

delta g = -RTlnK

36
Q

for more moles what does it mean which side is favored is the rxn?

A

if products have more moles it is thermodynamically favored

37
Q

Size of K and thermodynamic favorability

A

When K>1, the term lnK is positive and G is negative, thus the reaction is thermodynamically favorable.

38
Q

If K>1, G is

A

negative (lnK is positive)

39
Q

how can you overcome non-spontaneity and drive a reaction forward

A

with an external source of energy (electricity aka electrolysis)

40
Q

coupled reactions

A

combining two reactions so that the overall reaction is spontaneous
(a pos w a big neg)

41
Q

oxidation numbers rules

A
  • loner = 0
  • ion = charge
  • o = -2, except in peroxide -1 (O2)
  • hydrogen = 1 with nonmetal, -1 in metal
42
Q

electrons flow

A

from anode through wire to cathode

43
Q

anode

A

oxidation
negative

44
Q

cathode

A

reduction
positive

45
Q

1 volt

A

1 J/C

46
Q

using reduction table

A

keep larger number as reduction and switch smaller number to oxidation
-simply switch sign, NO multipliers

47
Q

cell potential

A

add voltage values

48
Q

in the salt bridge

A

cations flow to the cathode
anions flow to the cathode

49
Q

if cell potential is positive

A

the reaction is spontat=neous

50
Q

deltaG=-nFE

A

n = moles of electrons cancelled out

51
Q

deltaG=-nFE=

A

-RTlnK

52
Q

standard conditions

A

at 25C, 1atm, and with 1M

53
Q

nernst equation

A

used to calculate E value for cell under non-standard conditions
- Ecell=E-RT/nFlnQ

54
Q

concentration cell vs. voltaic cell

A

concentration - same ion for electrodes, different concentrations

55
Q

concentration cells

A

oxidation occurs at lower molarity, electrons move to solution with more positive ions

56
Q

voltaic vs electrolytic cells

A
  • volatic are spontaeous
    -electrolytic are forced to occur
  • voltaic seperated into two half cells
    -electrolytic one container
  • volatic cell is a battery
    -electrolytic needs a battery
    -polarity of electrodes is reversed in electrolytic cells, cathode is negative anode is positive
57
Q

farday’s law
I=q/t

A

i = current in amperes A = 1C/s
q = charge in C
t = time in s
use dimensional analysis
- amount of substance at each electrode is proportional to electricity
