desired net reaction using Hess s law A B C D 1 and 2 1 2 and 3 2 and 3 1 and 3 CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Spontaneity Almost every process in the world happens in only one direction in isolation on its own Imagine the following situations Are they spontaneous Dropping an object Burning logs A gas expanding into the room Heat flow from high T to low T Ice melting in a glass of water CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2012 Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 3 Spontaneity We will refer to any process that happens in isolation as spontaneous The forward reaction will happen but the reverse reaction will never happen i e The movie played backward doesn t make sense How might these processes be reversed Dropping an object Burning logs A gas expanding into the room Heat flow from high T to low T Ice melting in a glass of water CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 The Second Law of Thermodynamics The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that any process that happens spontaneously will lead to an increase in the entropy of the universe CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy The entropy of the universe is the total entropy of the system and surroundings Spontaneous Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 4 The entropy of the universe is the total entropy of the system and surroundings Spontaneous CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy What is Entropy What words or ideas pop into your head with respect to Entropy CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy Entropy is related to the dispersal of energy at a given temperature The more energy dispersed the greater the entropy change The wider the energy dispersal the greater the entropy change The lower the temperature the greater the entropy change for a given amount of energy Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 5 lower the temperature the greater the entropy change for a given amount of energy CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy Examples When we drop an object identify the System Surrounding Initial State Final State CH301

process that is spontaneous CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 POLL iClicker Question 4 When a gas expands in a vacuum Stotal 0 and Ssystem is A 0 B 0 C 0 D No way to know CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 7 Entropy Examples When a gas expands in a vacuum identify the System Surrounding Initial State Final State CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy Examples A container of gas was opened and the gas was allowed to fill the room In this example the system is the gas and the surroundings is the room Increasing volume leads to an increase in entropy The process was spontaneous The surroundings are unchanged The expansion led to an increase in the entropy of the system CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 8 Entropy Why does the increase in volume lead to an increase in entropy We must use a microscopic view of dispersal of energy Unfortunately it is difficult to visualize energy but it is easy to visualize molecules States of highest entropy are simply the most likely to happen CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Microstates Let s imagine the gas in our previous example where the gas is in a container with a left hand side and a right hand side What if we only had one gas particle There are two possibilities both of which are equally likely CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Microstates What if we only had two gas particles Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 9 What if we only had two gas particles There are four possibilities but they are no longer equally likely A microstate is the specific way in which we can arrange the energy of a system CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Microstates What if we only had four gas particles There are five possibilities It is highly unlikely that we will find all the molecules entirely on the left or right side The most likely situation will have two particles on each side CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Microstates 1 Unlikely Likely Very Likely 4 Unlikely Likely Very

Very Likely CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Microstates What if we only had Avogadro s number of particles It is extremely unlikely that we will find all the molecules entirely on the left or right side The most likely situation will have half of the particles on each side CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Unit4Day4 Crawford Page 11 Entropy and Microstates Entropy is measure of the number of equivalent microstates More volume More molecules Higher temperature Higher Energy more microstates more microstates more microstates more microstates more entropy more entropy more entropy more entropy CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake Fall 2013 Entropy and Microstates It is harder to visualize microstates for energy but it is the same idea where more microstates means higher entropy Macroscopically we can quantify this with heat flow The heat will always be the reversible heat for the processes we investigate in this course CH301 Vanden Bout LaBrake
