  1. 19-4 Criteria for Spontaneous Change:The Second Law of Thermodynamics. ΔStotal = ΔSuniverse = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings The Second Law of Thermodynamics: ΔSuniverse = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings > 0 All spontaneous processes produce an increase in the entropy of the universe.

  2. Free Energy and Free Energy Change • Hypothetical process: • only pressure-volume work, at constant T and P. qsurroundings = -qp = -ΔHsys • Make the enthalpy change reversible. • large surroundings, infinitesimal change in temperature. • Under these conditions we can calculate entropy.

  3. Free Energy and Free Energy Change For the universe: TΔSuniv. = TΔSsys – ΔHsys = -(ΔHsys – TΔSsys) -TΔSuniv. = ΔHsys – TΔSsys For the system: G = H - TS ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ΔGsys = - TΔSuniverse

  4. Criteria for Spontaneous Change ΔGsys < 0 (negative), the process is spontaneous. ΔGsys = 0 (zero), the process is at equilibrium. ΔGsys > 0 (positive), the process is non-spontaneous.

  6. 19-5 Standard Free Energy Change, ΔG° • The standard free energy of formation, ΔGf°. • The change in free energy for a reaction in which a substance in its standard state is formed from its elements in reference forms in their standard states. • The standard free energy of reaction, ΔG°. ΔG° = [ p ΔGf°(products) -r ΔGf°(reactants)]

  13. A mixture of H2 and O2 can sit in a flask almost indefinitely at 298 K without reacting. What is the best explanation for the absence of observable reaction? 1.

All three of these factors contribute. 5. None of the above answers is correct.

  15. There is enough energy in lightning bolts that O2 and N2 in the atmosphere are decomposed into N and O atoms. The reaction of N and O to form NO, 1. is spontaneous at all temperatures. 2. is non-spontaneous at all temperatures. • is spontaneous at high temperatures but non-spontaneous at low temperatures. 4. is spontaneous at low temperatures but non-spontaneous at high temperatures. 5. It is impossible to choose between the above responses without thermochemical data.
