Study Notes
Chemical Thermodynamics
- The study of energy changes in chemical and physical processes
- Entropy (S) measures disorder or randomness in a system
- Entropy increases when there's a phase change from condensed to less condensed (solid → liquid → gas)
- Entropy increases with more temperature or higher kinetic energy in a given phase
- Entropy increases with more particles or dissolution in an aqueous solution, allowing for more energy distribution.
- Entropy changes (ΔS) are positive for processes that increase disorder and negative for processes that decrease disorder.
- The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfectly ordered, crystalline substance at absolute zero is zero (Scrystal (0 K) = 0)
- Boltzmann's equation defines entropy mathematically: S = k ln W
- Microstates are energetically equivalent arrangements (microstates) possible for a system.
- The more microstates, the higher the entropy.
- The most probable macrostate is the one with the highest number of microstates.
- A system will spontaneously move to a more disordered arrangement
- The spontaneity of a process depends on both the system and surroundings
- The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Spontaneous processes always cause an overall increase in entropy (S) of the universe
- Standard Molar Entropies (S°) are calculated by the third law of thermodynamics.
- Standard changes in entropy (∆Sorxn) are calculated by using the standard molar entropies of the reactants and products. ∆S°rxn = Σm[S°(products)]-Σn[S°(reactants)]
- Gibbs Free Energy (G) is a state function for predicting process spontaneity at a given temperature. (G = H – TS)
- The change in Gibbs free energy under standard conditions: ΔG° = ΔH° – TΔS°
- ΔG° > 0: reaction is non-spontaneous forward.
- ΔG° < 0: reaction is spontaneous forward.
- ΔG° = 0: reaction is at equilibrium.
- Standard free energy of formation (ΔG°f) is the change in free energy when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states
- ΔGrxn=Σm[ΔGf(products)] -Σn[ΔGf(reactants)]
- Temperature dependence of free energy change: ∆G = ∆G° + RT ln Q where Q is the reaction quotient and R is the gas constant.
- The standard change in free energy can be used to calculate the equilibrium constant. ∆G° = −RT ln K, where K is the equilibrium constant.
