    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions & Thermodynamics

    • Assessment Question 1:
      • Given the reaction 2 BrCl₃ → 3 Cl₂ + Br₂ and 3.54 moles of BrCl₃. Calculate the moles of Cl₂ and Br₂ formed.
    • Spontaneity of Reactions:
      • Several examples of reactions (burning wood, ice melting, photosynthesis, baking soda with acid, rusting) are shown.
      • The question of whether these reactions happen without outside energy is answered with 'yes' or 'no' in each case.
    • Chemical Thermodynamics:
      • The subject, chemical thermodynamics is introduced.
    • Spontaneity:
      • Predicting the spontaneity of a process using entropy is described as a competency.
    • Entropy:
      • Defined as the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system.
      • The concept is visually illustrated with an image showing a transition from a highly ordered state to a more disordered one.
    • Spontaneous Process:
      • A chemical reaction that favors product formation when the reaction starts.
      • The reaction is observed to proceed without outside energy input.
    • Non-Spontaneous Process:
      • A chemical reaction that does not occur naturally.
      • It requires external factors like energy or heat to proceed.
    • Correlation of Reactions:
      • Several reactions are shown, with their enthalpy changes (ΔH) indicated.

    Examples of Reactions and Spontaneity

    • Combustion of Wood:

      • Spontaneous after ignition, releasing energy. (ΔH = -89 kJ).

    • Formation of Carbon Dioxide/Water from Methane:

      • Spontaneous reaction during combustion of methane. (ΔH = -89 kJ)

    • Rusting of Iron:

      • Non-spontaneous but can proceed with external factors. (ΔH = +1625 kJ)

    • Photosynthesis:

      • Requires external energy (sunlight) to proceed.

    • Baking Soda Reacting with Hydrochloric Acid:

      • Spontaneous reaction.

    Entropy and Reactions

    • FA Question 1 (Decrease in Entropy):

      • For a decrease in entropy, Photosynthesis is the correct answer.

    • FA Questions 2 (Non-Spontaneous Reactions):

      • Photosynthesis is a reaction needing external energy.

    • FA Question 3 (Increase in Entropy):

      • Dissolving salt in water increases entropy.

    • FA Question 4 (Primary Factor for Combustion):

      • Combustion of wood is spontaneous due to its release of heat energy.

    • FA Question 5 (Temperature-Dependent Spontaneity):

      • Melting of ice is a reaction whose spontaneity depends on its temperature.
