Thermodynamics Lessons 20-22 CDT Dallin Rosdahl & CDT Randy Shed
Entropy • Spontaneous Change- change that occurs by itself without an ongoing input of energy outside of the system • 1st Law- Conservation of Energy • 2nd Law- all processes occur spontaneously in the direction that increases entropy • 3rd Law- a perfect crystal has zero entropy at absolute zero • Entropy- the amount of ways possible of organizing components of a system
S (entropy) increases when temperature rises • S is greatest at gaseous state • Lowest at solid state • S0rxn=mS0products-nS0reactants
Free Energy • G= measure of the spontaneity of a process and of the useful energy available from it • Gsys=Hsys-T*Ssys • Grxn=mGproducts-nGreactants • G= -RT lnQ/K • G<0 for spontaneous reaction • G>0 for non-spontaneous • G=0 at equilibrium
