Study Notes
Chemical Thermodynamics
- Focuses on heat and work in chemical reactions and physical changes.
- Spontaneous processes occur under specific conditions, with ΔS univ > 0.
- Non-spontaneous processes do not proceed under specified conditions.
Laws of Thermodynamics
- 1st Law: Energy of the universe is constant; energy can only be transferred, not created or destroyed.
- 2nd Law: Spontaneous processes lead to an increase in entropy; represented by S = k*ln(w) where k = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.
- 3rd Law: Entropy of a perfect crystalline substance at absolute zero (0 K) is zero.
Entropy (S)
- Measures disorder or randomness in a system; reflects energy distribution.
- Higher temperatures increase kinetic energy, leading to increased entropy as particles move faster.
Microstates and Macrostates
- Microstates: Different energetically equivalent arrangements of particles in a system.
- Macrostates: Set of microstates that results in the same energy level.
Equations
- Change in reaction entropy: ∆S° rxn = Σm[S°(products)] - Σn[S°(reactants)].
- Change in universal entropy: ∆S univ = ∆S sys + ∆S surr.
- In isothermal processes, entropy change of surroundings is ∆S surr = -q sys / T.
Gibb's Free Energy (G)
- Determines spontaneity of processes: G = H - TS.
- At equilibrium, ΔG = 0; ΔG < 0 indicates spontaneity.
Spontaneity Conditions
- Spontaneous at all temperatures if ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0.
- Non-spontaneous at all temperatures if ΔH > 0 and ΔS < 0.
- Mixture of responses depending on temperature excess in other scenarios.
Entropy Changes in Phase Transitions
- Changes from solid to liquid (ΔH = +, ΔS = +) and other phase changes often result in increased entropy.
- Release of heat energy changes the kinetic energy of surroundings; higher temperatures reduce entropy change impact.
Evaluating Reactions
- A negative ΔG implies a spontaneous reaction, while a zero ΔG suggests equilibrium.
- Specific entropy changes denote the system's behavior like gas transitions affecting entropy.
Equilibrium Constants and ΔG
- If ΔG° < 0, then K > 1 indicating product-favored reactions.
- If ΔG° > 0, then K < 1 indicating reactant-favored reactions.
Specific Calculations
- Boiling point of dichloromethane calculated, indicating equilibrium at ΔG = 0.
- Changes in free energy at non-standard conditions using partial pressures are calculable via ΔG = ΔG° + RTln(Q).
