1
New cards

reactions that are spontaneous involve

mixing and spreading out

2
New cards

entropy

randomness of a system

3
New cards

why does a mixture have a high entropy

Because the particles can be arranged in a lot of different ways

4
New cards

will entropy S be + or - when products are more disordered than reactants

+

5
New cards

why do entropies increase with temperature

because particles spread out and are more disordered

6
New cards

factors that govern feasibility of a reaction

  • enthalpy change

  • entropy chnage

7
New cards

what happens if G is positive

reaction is not feasible (not occur)

8
New cards

formula for gibbs free energy

G= H-T(S)

9
New cards

what unit is temperature measured in

Kelvin

10
New cards

Formula for calculating entropy of a system

Products-reactants

11
New cards

How to convert JK-1mol-1 to kJK-1mol-1

Divide by 1000

12
New cards

graphite is said to be

kinetically stable

13
New cards

what could it mean if a reaction is feasible but is not taking place

  • reactants are solids

  • large activation energy

14
New cards

what does it represent when g=0

first temperature when reaction becomes feasible
