1
New cards
Entropy
The dispersal of matter and energy in a given sample of matter.
2
New cards
Entropy Increases when:
Particles are more free to move, ex. phase change from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, along with temperature increases
3
New cards
Entropy increases in gases when
volume increases OR if total number of moles of gaseous products>total number of gaseous reactants, entropy increases

\
4
New cards
Delta S
A measure of the change in entropy of a system, calculated by subtracting the sum of the entropy of the reactants from the sum of the entropy of the products.
5
New cards
Gibbs free energy
A thermodynamic quantity that measures the energy available in a system to do useful work at a constant temperature and pressure.
6
New cards
∆G
The change in Gibbs free energy that occurs during a chemical reaction, which determines whether the reaction is thermodynamically favorable or unfavorable. Found with **ΔG=∑G(products)−∑G(reactants)** or with **ΔG=ΔH-TΔS**
7
New cards
Thermodynamically favorable
A reaction that occurs spontaneously, releasing energy, and has a negative ∆G value.
8
New cards
Thermodynamically unfavorable
A reaction that requires energy input and has a positive ∆G value, making it non-spontaneous.
9
New cards
Kinetic Control
Refers to processes that are favorable but do not make products at a measurable rate.
10
New cards
Catalyst
A substance (e.g. enzyme) that lowers the activation energy (Ea) required for a chemical reaction to occur, thus increasing the reaction rate, but has no effect on the favorability of the reaction.
11
New cards
thermodynamically favored (ΔG
products are favored at equilibrium (K>1)
12
New cards
at equilibrium
no net change in concentration of reactants and products occurs
13
New cards
R
The gas constant, which relates the energy of a system to its temperature and pressure. R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1
14
New cards
T
The absolute temperature of a system, measured in Kelvin.
15
New cards
K
The equilibrium constant of a reaction, found using the formula K=e^(-ΔG/RT).
16
New cards
ΔG° Equation
The standard free energy change of a reaction, found using the formula ΔG° = -RTlnK.
17
New cards
Negative ΔG
K>1, reaction favors products
18
New cards
ΔG is positive
K
19
New cards
ΔG=0
reaction is at equilibrium
20
New cards
Coupling Reactions
when two reactions share an intermediate, they can be coupled, Hess’s law can be applied and the sum of the reactants’ ΔG values makes overall process favorable when added
