Enthalpy
|
ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
For constant pressure processes only
At a constant pressure, ΔHsys = energy flow as heat (and work).
|
|
Enthalpy Equation
|
ΔH°rxn = ΣnΔH°f (products) - ΣnΔH°f (reactants)
Standard molar enthalpy (1 mol formed)
ΔH°rxn = Σ bond energies (reactants) - Σ bond energies (products)
Gas phase reactions only
|
|
Hess' Law
|
Enthalpic change (ΔH) for a process is a constant whether the process occurs in one step OR a series of steps.
ΔH°rxn = ΔH°1+ ΔH°2
|
|
ΔH properties
|
If ΔH = negative, process is exothermic.
If ΔH = positive, process is endothermic.
Sign of ΔH does not necessarily predict spontaneity of a reaction.
|
|
Entropy
|
Measure of disorder/randomness of a system
2nd Law of Thermodynamics dictates that ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsurr
At equilibrium, ΔSuniv = 0.
ΔSgas >> ΔSliquid > ΔSsolid
|
|
Entropy Equations
|
ΔS° = ΣnΔS° (products) - ΣnΔS° (reactants)
ΔSsurr = (-ΔHsys) / T
Entropy of a pure crystal = 0
|
|
Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)
|
ΔG = ΔHsys - T(ΔSsys)
When ΔG = negative, processes are spontaneous; when ΔG = positive, processes are spontaneous in the reverse direction.
When ΔG = 0, processes are at equilibrium.
|
|
ΔG° (ΔG at standard conditions)
|
ΔG°rxn = ΣnΔG°f (products) - ΣnΔG°f (reactants)
ΔG°rxn = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn
|
|
ΔG at non-standard conditions
|
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln(Q) where
R = 8.3145 J/K mol
T = temperature in K (C + 273.25)
Q = ratio of products/reactants
|
|
How to determine boiling point
|
ΔHvap = TΔSvap
T = ΔHvap / ΔSvap
|
|
Interpreting K Values
|
K > 1: large, ΔGf is negative, spontaneous
K < 1: small, ΔGf is positive, non-spontaneous
K = 0: slope is 0, ΔGf is 0, reaction at equilibrium
|
|
Equilibrium
|
Point at which opposing processes (forward and reverse reactions) occur at the same rate.
Reversible processes only
Dynamic
|
|
Kc
|
[A]a[B]b/[C]c[D]d
|
|
Kp
|
Kp = Kc(RT)Δn
Where R = .08206, T = temperature in K, Δn = change in # moles of gas
