Entropy Source:
2
Spontaneous Process A physical or chemical change that occurs with no outside intervention
3
What is an example of a spontaneous reaction?
H2O (s) H2O (g) ΔH = 6.01 kJ
4
ENTROPY (S) Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of the particles in a system
5
The LAW OF DISORDER A spontaneous reaction always proceeds so that the entropy of the universe increases
6
Δssystem= sproducts – sreactants
ΔS < 0 : the reaction is not spontaneous ΔS > 0 : the reaction is spontaneous
7
Predicting entropy Entropy increases with changes in state
8
Predicting ENTROPY Dissolving a gas in a solvent always decreases entropy
9
PREDICTING entropy Assuming no other changes in physical state, the entropy of a system increases when the number of molecules increases
10
Predicting entropy With some exceptions, you can usually predict the change in entropy when a solid or liquid dissolves to form a solution
11
Predicting entropy An increase in temperature always is accompanied by an increase in entropy
12
PRACTICE Negative Positive
