Predict the spontaneity of a process based on entropy
Explain the second law of thermodynamics and its
significance
Spontaneous Process
Spontaneous is a type of process which does not
need the application of energy to take place.
A spontaneous process is a physical or chemical
change that occurs by itself.
Spontaneous or Nonspontaneous
Melting
Vaporization
Dissolving
Heating
Predict whether the entropy or orderliness of the system
where the following changers occurs is expected to
INCREASE or DECREASE.
KCLO3(s)KCL(s) +O2(g)
2H2(g) +O2(g)2H2O(l)
How will you predict when entropy is positive or negative?
Entropy is positive when it
underwent melting, evaporation and
sublimation. Entropy may be negative when the chemical
substances underwent deposition,
If a reaction produces more gas solidification and condensation.
molecules that it consumes is
positive,
If the total number of gas molecules
If there is no net change in the total diminishes, is negative.
number of gas molecules that may
be a positive or negative, but will
be relatively small numerically.
Determine the entropy of a system for each of the
following process.
A solid melts.
A liquid freezes.
A vapor is converted to solid.
A vapor condenses to a liquid.
A solid sublimes.
Determine if the entropy change will be POSITIVE or
NEGATIVE for the following reactions.
(NH4)2Cr2O7(s)Cr2O3(s) +4H2O(l)+CO2(g)
2H(g) +O22H2O(g)
H2(g)+Cl2 2HCl2(g)
Entropy can be calculated from the table of standard
values.
CACO3(s) ⇌ CO2(g)+Ca0(s)
The reaction is reversible, and CaO readily combines with CO2 to form
CaCO3.
First we calculate and for the reaction at 25C.
CACO3(s) ⇌ CO2(g)+Ca0(s)
∆ H °=[ ∆H °f ( CaO ) +∆ H °f ( CO2 ) ] −[∆H °f ( CaCO3 ) ]
CACO3(s)=-1206.9 kJ/mol
CO2(g)=-393.5kJ/mol
Ca0(s)=-635.6kJ/mol
First we calculate and for the reaction at 25C.
