17-2 Driving Force of Reactions
p. 526 Are most reactions endothermic or exothermic?
p. 526 Are most reactions endothermic or exothermic? Something other than enthalpy (ΔH) determines whether endothermic occurs spontaneously A system that can go from one state to another WITHOUT an enthalpy change does so by becoming more ___________________

(p. 527) Lacks arrangement of its parts Entropy (S) - measure of randomness of particles Solids – low entropy Melt – Liquids, increase entropy Evaporate – Gas, increase entropy
Entropy Change ΔS Difference of products and reactants Increase in entropy = + ΔS Decrease in entropy = - ΔS Making solutions increases ΔS Mixing gases Liquid into another liquid Solids dissolved in liquid Fig. 17-7 (p. 528)
p. 528 Processes are driven in 2 directions: Toward lowest enthalpy (lowest ΔH) OR Highest entropy (highest ΔS) Free Energy (G) – combined H and S function Only change can be measured Free energy change – ΔG Equation:
