Gibb’s Free Energy The second law of thermodynamics suggests that there will always be an increase in entropy of the universe for a spontaneous process to occur. This is related to two terms, enthalpy and entropy changes in the system, as can be seen in the manipulation below. Suniv = Ssys + Ssurr > 0
At Constant T and P DG = - TDSUniverse (DSuniv must be +ve for a spontaneous process, as suggested by the second law of thermodynamics) • Therefore, DG must be –ve for the reaction to be spontaneous
Free Energy Change If DG < 0 (negative), a process is spontaneous (products are favored). If DG > 0 (positive), a process is non-spontaneous (reactants are favored). If DG = 0, neither the forward nor the reverse process is favored; there is no net change, and the process is at equilibrium.
Gibbs’ Free Energy can be used to determine the Standard free energy (°) of formation DG = DH - TDS DG°f = DH°f - TDS°f °Standard State f -formation from elements If data is not for formation process, then equation is slightly adjusted: DG° = DH° - TDS° Or from tabulated thermodynamic data: DG°rxn = S nDG°f(prod) - S mDG°f(react)
- mDG0 (reactants) S S = f 2C6H6(l) + 15O2(g) 12CO2(g) + 6H2O (l) DG0 DG0 DG0 - [ ] [ + ] = rxn rxn rxn [ 12x–394.4 + 6x–237.2 ] – [ 2x124.5 ] = -6405 kJ/mol = 12DG0 (CO2) 2DG0 (C6H6) f f 6DG0 (H2O) f nDG0 (products) f What is the standard free-energy change for the following reaction at 25 0C? Is the reaction spontaneous at 25 oC? DG0rxn = -6405 kJ/mol is < 0, therefore the reaction is spontaneous. Note that DGof (O2) = 0.0
Calculate DGo for the reaction below where all components are at standard conditions, at 298K, provided that DGfo (NH3(g)) = -16.66 kJ/mol N2(g) + 3H2(g) D 2NH3(g) Solution Note that: DGfo(H2(g), 298K) = 0 (note: standard state of element); DGfo(N2(g), 298K) = 0 (standard state of element) DGorxn = SDGfo(products) - SDGfo(reactants) DGorxn = 2*(-16.66 kJ/mol) - (0 + (3*0)) DGorxn = -33.3 kJ/mol DGorxn is a negative value, which suggests that the reaction would proceed spontaneously to the right to produce more products. Note that DGof for both N2(g) and 3H2(g) is zero
The standard enthalpy of formation of CO2 (g) is –394 kJ/mol. If So (CO2 (g)) = 213.6 J/mol K, So (O2 (g)) = 205.0 J/mol K, and So (C (s)) = 5.69 J/mol K. Find DSfo and DGfo for the formation of CO2 (g). Solution C(s) + O2 (g) g CO2 (g) DSfo = S nSo(products) - S mSo(reactants) DSfo = (So (CO2 (g)) - {So (O2 (g)) + So (C (s)} DSfo = 213.6 J/mol K - {205.0 J/mol K + 5.69 J/mol K} = 2.9 J/mol K DGfo = DHfo - TDSfo DGfo = = {-394 kJ/mol} – {298 K*(2.9*10-3 kJ/mol K)}= - 395 kJ/mol
Consider the calculation for the following reaction at standard state: CH3OH (g) + O2(g) g CO2(g) + H2O (g) Determine DG°rxn 2 CH3OH (g) + 3 O2(g) g 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O (g) DH°f - 201.2 0 -393.5 -241.82 S°f + 237.6 205.0 213.6 188.83 DG°f - 161.9 0 -394.4 -228.57
DGorxn = {(4*(-228.57) + 2*(-294.4))} – {(3*0 + 2*(-161.9))} = -1379.3 kJ We should be able to get the same result from calculation of DHrxn and DSrxn DHorxn = {(4*(-241.82)+2*(-393.5)} – {(3*0 + 2*(-201.2))} = -1351.88 kJ DSorxn = {(4*188.83 + 2*213.6)} – {(3*205 + 2*237.6)} = + 92.32 J DSorxn = 92.32*10-3 kJ DGorxn = -1351 – (298*92.32*10-3) = -1379.4, which is the same as calculated from DGof values o o We can calculate DGorxn directly fromDGof
