Enthalpy, Entropy And Free Energy Flashcards
(17 cards)
Entropy
Measure of disorder or randomness
Crystalline Solid Entropy
Low
Higher when it melts
Entropy Symbols
Entropy = S
Standard Entropy = S°
Change = /\S°
Units = J K-1mol-1
Entropy Change of State Graph
• 0 Kelvin S°=0 -particles not moving - perfect order
•Temp Increases = Movement Increases = Disorder Increases
• Vertical Show Change in state
- large increase S° as temp remains constant
• Vertical section for boiling > Vertical section for melting
- gas very disordered
Change in Entropy Equation
/\S°= sum of S° products - sum of S° reactants
Free Energy Equation
/\G° = /\H° - T/\S°
Feasible Reaction
Free energy (/\G°) must be less than 0
Free Energy, /\G°, Units
kJmol-1
Cpnvert J K-1mol-1 to kJ K-1mol-1
Divide J K-1mol-1 by 1000
Determine temperature for reaction to become feasible
Divide /\H° by /\S° (in kJ K-1 mol-1)
T= /\H
/\S°/1000
What is /\G° at change of state
0
System at equilibrium
Feasibility when /\H negative and /\S negative
/\G may be + or -
Feasible below certain temps
Feasibility when /\H negative and /\S positive
/\G always -
Feasible at any temp
Feasibility /\ H positive /\S negative
/\G always positive
Not feasible at any temp
Feasibility /\H positive /\S positive
/\G may be + or -
Feasible above certain temps
Feasibility Exothermic and Endothermic
Exothermic w/ increase entropy - feasible any temp
Endothermic w/ decrease entropy - NOT feasible at any temp
