Previously in Chem104: What determines reaction spontaneity? Entropy Today in Chem104: A recap The 2 nd Law & No Free Lunch What chemists really use- free energy Worksheet: “What’s keeping you alive?”
2
Hypothesis 1: Spontaneous reactions are exothermic HCl + NaOHNa + + Cl- + H 2 O got warm so H rxn <0 YES!!! Ba(OH) 2. 8H 2 O + 2NH 4 NO 3 Ba(NO 3 ) 2 + 2NH 3 + 10H 2 O got COLD so H rxn > 0 NO!!! Conclusion 1: Spontaneous reactions can be exothermic or endothemic
3
Next, we encountered ENTROPY ENTROPY: the concept An increase in disorder An increase in energy dispersal symbol S ENTROPY: its magnitude Depends on state of matter, solid< liquid<gas Depends on temperature Depends on complexity of molecule/matter calculated like enthalpy: S rxn = S prdt - S rgt
4
Hypothesis 2: Spontaneous reactions have increased entropy HCl (g) + NH 3 (g)NH 4 Cl(s) Entropy reagent gases >> Entropy solid prdt, S rxn < 0 NO!!! Ba(OH) 2. 8H 2 O + 2NH 4 NO 3 Ba(NO 3 ) 2 + 2NH 3 + 10H 2 O S rxn > 0 YES!!! Conclusion 2: Spontaneous reactions can have a decrease in entropy! S rxn = S prdt - S rgt S rxn = [150 + 2(70) + 10(192)] - [500 + 2(151)] S rxn = +432 J/K mol S o, J/K mol = 500 2(151) 150 2(70) 10(192)
5
Hypothesis 3: Reaction Spontaneity depends on entropy AND enthalpy HCl (g) + NH 3 (g)NH 4 Cl(s) Heat released goes to surroundings?!! S rxn = S prdt - S rgt S rxn = [94.6] - [187 + 193] S rxn = - 285 J/K mol S o, J/K mol = 187 193 94.6 H rxn = H prdt - H rgt H rxn = [-315] - [-92.3 + -46.3] H rxn = - 176 kJ/mol H o f,k J/mol = -92.3 -46.3 -315 ENTROPY DECREASED ENTHALPY DECREASED
6
HCl (g) + NH 3 (g)NH 4 Cl(s) Heat released to surroundings should increase S SURR And the net entropy change is: S net = S SURR + S SYS = S UNIVERSE S UNIVERSE = 591 - 285 J/K mol = 206 J/K mol THE ENTROPY of UNIVERSE INCREASED How much? Use this relationship of enthalpy and entropy: S SURR = - H sys / T So the addition of 176 kJ/mol heat to surroundings corresponds to: S SURR = - (-176 kJ/mol) / 289 = 0.591 kJ/K mol S SURR = 591 J/K mol
7
This is the fundamental requirement long version : a spontaneous change is accompanied by an increase in the total entropy of the system and the surroundings S TOTAL = S SURR + S SYS THE ENTROPY of UNIVERSE INCREASED This is the 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics shorter version : total entropy change must be positive for a spontaneous reactions shortest version : the entropy of the universe is constantly increasing
8
This is the fundamental requirement Paul’s version : No Free Lunch This means, a spontaneous exothermic reaction is not just creating heat ( or energy). The price is Entropy—more disorder in the Universe.… or a greater distribution of energy THE ENTROPY of UNIVERSE INCREASED This is the 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics Paul Grobstein’s version : The 1 st Law: You can’t win. The 2nd Law: You can’t break even. The 3rd Law: You can’t leave the game.
9
Chemists rarely use this: Why? Using this fundamental relationship: S TOTAL = S SURR + S SYS it’s too hard—impossible, really—to calculate S SURR THE ENTROPY of UNIVERSE MUST INCREASE to predict what will happen So how do they predict what will happen? A new thermodynamic quantity was derived: Free Energy “wait a minute - how can you have free energy when you can’t have a free lunch?”
10
Blame it all on Josiah Gibbs. This is how he figured it: “If the universe obeys:” S UNIVERSE = S TOTAL = S SURR + S SYS “And we can replace S SURR :”:” S TOTAL = - H SYS / T + S SYS “It’s all in terms of the system and we can measure it. Yeah!!” Josiah Willard Gibbs 1839-1903
11
Blame it all on Josiah Gibbs: “It’s all in terms of the system. Yeah!!” S TOTAL = - H SYS / T + S SYS “Now if we do some algebra:” T x S TOTAL = - H SYS + T S SYS “And change the signs:” - T x S TOTAL = H SYS - T S SYS “We can name the result after me!” - T x S TOTAL = G SYS = H SYS - T S SYS Gibbs Free Energy, G SYS
12
“Is this supposed to be an improvement?” Gibbs Free Energy, G SYS = H SYS - T S SYS How do I tell when a spontaneous event occurs? S TOTAL > 0 is still the Law Since - T x S TOTAL = G SYS when S TOTAL >0, G SYS < 0 Spontaneous reactions & processes occur when Gibbs Free Energy is negative, G SYS < 0
13
“Interpretation, please!” S TOTAL > 0 is still the Law if- T x S TOTAL = G SYS Spontaneous reactions & processes occur when Gibbs Free Energy is negative, G SYS < 0 it means: the disorder in the universe came from the system
14
The best part? G rxn is calculated exactly like H rxn and S rxn G rxn = G prdt - G rgt Let’s do it!
