1
Thermodynamics (the other part) Topic 19 in Red Book Chapter 16 in textbook
2
Why does change occur? H – change in enthalpy (heat transferred btwn system and surroundings) S – change in entropy (randomness or disorder of the system) Systems tend to move towards lower enthalpy (releasing heat) and higher entropy (more disorder)
3
Spontaneous Processes reaction that proceeds on its own with no outside help if a reaction is spontaneous in one direction, it is nonspontaneous in the other direction does not necessarily mean that the reaction happens quickly, just that it happens
4
Enthalpy H = heat absorbed by the system – exothermic = - H – endothermic = + H 1 st law of thermo = energy is conserved, heat lost by system must equal heat gained by environment & vice versa remember the formula for calculating H of a rxn: H o rxn = H o f products – H o f reactants
5
Entropy & 2 nd Law measure of randomness (gases are more random than liquids, so gases have higher S) S is positive for solid liquid gas changes and negative for the reverse S is higher for more complex molecules (propane has higher S than methane) 2 nd law of thermo states that any spontaneous change is always associated with an overall + S
6
3 rd Law states that S of a pure crystalline solid at 0K is always zero. As the temperature is warmed above 0K, S increases gradually At phase changes, S increases a lot
7
Standard Molar Entropies S o = measures order/disorder of pure substances at 1 atm & 298 K units are J/mol K S o is largest for gases and heavier/more complex substances
8
Entropy Changes looks just like the equation for H o S o rxn = S o products – S o reactants What is the S o rxn for the following rxn? 2NO(g) + O 2 (g) 2NO 2 (g)
9
Gibbs Free Energy G = amt of useful work/energy that can be obtained from a process at constant T&P G = H – T S G o rxn = G o f products – G o f reactants G & H are in kJ/mol, S is in J/molK so it must be converted to kJ
10
What does G tell you? If G is… The process is… negativespontaneous positivenonspontaneous zeroat equilibrium
11
What is the standard free energy for the reaction: 2NO(g) + O 2 (g) 2NO 2 (g)
12
Free Energy & Temperature HH SS-T S GG The rxn is… -+--spontaneous at all T +-++nonspontaneous at all T --++/-Spontaneous only at low T ++-+/- Spontaneous only at high T KNOW THIS TABLE!!!
13
Is G for a burning campfire positive or negative? Explain citing the positive or negative signs of H and S for the process. Is there a temperature at which G for a burning campfire will change signs? Explain.
14
Free Energy & Equilibrium you can calculate free energy at non-standard conditions using the following formula: G = G o + RT lnQ have to use R = 8.314 J/molK At equilibrium, Q = K & G = 0, so the eqn becomes: G o = -RT lnK
15
Using the std. free energies of formation for the reaction: 2H 2 S(g) + 3O 2 (g) 2H 2 O(g) + 2SO 2 (g) Calculate G o and G for a mixture at 25 o C with the following composition: P H2S = 1.00 atm, P O2 = 2.00 atm, P H2O = 0.500 atm, P SO2 = 0.750 atm
16
The standard free energy change for the following reaction at 25 o C is -118.4 kJ/mol: KClO 3 (s) KCl(s) + 3/2 O 2 (g) Calculate K p for the reaction and the equilibrium pressure of O 2 gas.
