Laws of ThermodynamicsLaws of Thermodynamics
• First Law–Energy is conserved in chemical processes• neither created nor destroyed• converted from one form into another
• Second Law–For any spontaneous process, the entropy of
the universe increases• the real criterion for spontaneity • changes in randomness of the universe is +
Some definitions…Some definitions…
Free energy- the energy that is available to do work.
Entropy- a measure of the disorder of a system.
Enthalpy-at constant pressure, it is the heat evolved or absorbed in the reaction.
Spontaneous ReactionNon-spontaneous ReactionLaw of Disorder-processes move in the
direction of maximum disorder or randomness
Entropy “Rules” Entropy “Rules” (see p 729 for examples)(see p 729 for examples)
1. Entropy of a gas is greater than that of a liquid or a solid.
2. Entropy increases when a substance is divided into parts.
3. Entropy tends to increase in chemical reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.
4. Entropy tends to increase when temperature increases.
Reaction SpontaneityReaction Spontaneity
The size and direction of heat (enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous.
How How ΔΔH and H and ΔΔS Affect Reaction Spontaneity S Affect Reaction Spontaneity
ΔH ΔS Spontaneous?
Decreases(exothermic)
Increases (more disorder in products than in reactants)
Yes
Increases(endothermic)
Increases ΔS > ΔH
Decreases(exothermic)
Decreases (less disorder in products than in reactants)
ΔH > ΔS
Increases(endothermic)
Decreases No
Some background on the standard Some background on the standard conditions for entropy…conditions for entropy…
Units for S: J/KUsually given as J/K x mol because we are
interested in a specific substance.S° signifies entropy at standard conditions
(101.3 kPa and 25°C).Theoretical entropy of a perfect crystal at
0 K is zero.
Entropy CalculationsEntropy Calculations
Standard Entropy change (ΔS°) can be calculated using:
ΔS°(reaction) = ΔS°(products)- ΔS° (reactants)
Practice Problem:Practice Problem:
Calculate the standard entropy change (ΔS°) that occurs when 1 mol H2O(g) at 25°C and 101.3 kPa condenses to 1 mol H2O(l) at the same temperature.
H2O(g) S° = 188.7 J/KxmolH2O(l) S° = 69.94 J/KxmolΔS°=69.94 – 188.7 = -118.8 J/KxmolThe negative sign indicates that
entropy decreases.
Free Energy CalculationsFree Energy Calculations
Josiah Gibbs formulated the Gibbs free Energy change (ΔG) equation.
It is the maximum amount of energy that can be coupled to another process to do useful work. The change in Gibbs free energy is related to the change in entropy (ΔS) and the change in enthalpy (ΔH) of the system by the following equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS(T=temperature in Kelvin)
ΔΔGG
If –ΔG, reaction is spontaneous in forward direction
If +ΔG, reaction is non-spontaneous in forward direction but spontaneous in reverse direction. Work must be supplied from surroundings to make it occur.
If ΔG=0, reaction is at equilibriumAll spontaneous processes release free
energy.In a spontaneous reaction ΔG is negative
because the system loses free energy.
C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g) + 1235 kJ
• What is the sign of H?• What is the sign of S?• Plug signs into: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
• Prediction???
• spontaneous

ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q(where R=8.314 J/mol K)At equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=K, therefore:ΔG°=-RT ln K and K= e-ΔG°/RT (find
these formulas on your AP cheat sheet)Turn to page 740 and try practice exercise

Free Energy and KeqFree Energy and Keq
G is the energy change by a system G is the energy change by a system going from initial conditions to going from initial conditions to equilibriumequilibrium
G negative reaction proceeds right to equilibrium
G positive reaction proceedsleft to equilibrium
G = 0 at equilibrium
