What is Entropy?
The degree of disorder in a system
1 of 12
What are the units for entropy?
Jmol-1K-1
2 of 12
When does entropy increase?
solid becomes liquid, liquid becomes gas, temperature rises even if no change of state , solid dissolves or produces more particles
3 of 12
What is the equation for entropy change
entropy change= sum of entropy of products- sum of entropy of reactants
4 of 12
What does a positive entropy chnage mean
the products have more entropy compared with reactants and is always feasible
5 of 12
What does negative entropy change mean
products have less entropy compared with reactants and only feasible if exothermic
6 of 12
Equation for gibbs free energy change
gibbs free= enthalpy change - T x entropy change
7 of 12
How can a reaction be feasible
Gibbs free change must be negative or zero
8 of 12
What if H is negative and S is positive
G is always negative and feasible at any temperature
9 of 12
What if H is positive and S is negative
G is always positive and not feasible at any temperature
10 of 12
What if H is positive and S is positive
G is maybe + or - and feasible above certain temperature
11 of 12
What if H is negative and S is negative
G is maybe + or - and feasible below certain temperature
