Study Notes
Chemical Thermodynamics Study
- Studies energy changes during chemical transformations.
Isothermal Process
- A process that takes place at a constant temperature.
Law of Mass Action
- Formulated by Guldberg and Waage.
Heterogeneous System
- A system consisting of three or more different phases.
Spontaneous Reaction
- A reaction that occurs without any external influence.
- Determined by the sign of ΔG (Gibbs free energy).
Rate of Reaction Increase
- Increasing the surface area between reactants.
- Introducing a catalyst to lower the activation energy.
- Increasing the temperature of reactants to provide sufficient energy.
Spontaneous Endothermic Process
- A spontaneous process that absorbs heat from its surroundings.
