#1
Front (Question)

entropy

Back (Answer)

distribution of available energy among the particles

#2
Front (Question)

entropy of a system

Back (Answer)

the state of disorder of a system

#3
Front (Question)

how will a system and its surroundings tend to move

Back (Answer)

from a state of high order (low entropy) to disorder (high entropy)

#4
Front (Question)

entropy of univers

Back (Answer)

entropy of system + entropy of surroundings= always positive

#5
Front (Question)

describe entropy in a reaction which changes solid to liquid or liquid to gas

Back (Answer)

increase in entropy or disorder entropy is positive

#6
Front (Question)

describe entropy in a reaction which changes 4 mol -> 2 mol

Back (Answer)

lower entropy, decrease in disorder entropy is negative

#7
Front (Question)

describe entropy in a reaction which changes solid to gas

Back (Answer)

negative entropy

#8
Front (Question)

how do you calculate the change in standar free energy at 298 K for a given reaction

Back (Answer)

1- calculate enthalpy change= sum enthalpy of formation for products - sum enthalpy of formation for reactants 2- caculate change in entropy = sum entropy of products - sum of entropy of reactants 3- calculate change in gibs free energy= enthalpy change - Temperature (in kelvin) * change in entropy/ 1000 (entropy always in KJ)

#9
Front (Question)

if gibs free energy is positive

Back (Answer)

reaction is not spontaneuos

#10
Front (Question)

if gibs free energy is negative

Back (Answer)

reaction is spontaneuos

#11
Front (Question)

how do calculate the temperature in which a reaction becomes spontaneuos

Back (Answer)

=change in enthalpy/ (change in entropy/1000)(since units msut be in KJ) temperautre will be given in kelvin this calculation will give rise to the minimum temperature for a reaction to becme spontaneuos

#12
Front (Question)

If enthalpy change is negative (exothermic) entropy change is positive (increase in disrder)

Back (Answer)

gibs free energy will always be negative, reaction always spontaneous

#13
Front (Question)

If enthalpy change is positive (endothermic) entropy change is positive (increase in disorder)

Back (Answer)

gibs free energy is positive if, reaction not spontanuoes in cold (if T*change in entropy < change in enthalpy) gibs free energy is negative if, reaction is spontaneuos at higher temperatures ( if T*change in entropy> change in enthalpy) reaction more spontaneous at higher temperatures

#14
Front (Question)

If enthalpy change is negative (exothermic) entropy change is negative (decrease in disorder)

Back (Answer)

gibs free energy is positive when, not spontaneous reaction (T * change in entropy > change in enthalpy) gibs free energy is negative when, spontaneous reaction, (T * change in entropy < change in enthalpy) reaction more spontaneous at colder temperatures

#15
Front (Question)

If enthalpy change is positive (endothermic) entropy change is negative (decrease in disorder)

Back (Answer)

gibs free energy is always positive, reaction is never spontaneuos

#16
Front (Question)

when is gibs free energy= 0

Back (Answer)

when reaction is at equilibrium

#17
Front (Question)

when is entropy negative

Back (Answer)

reaction reactants have more mol products have less from gas to liquid liquid to sold gas to solid

#18
Front (Question)

when is entropy postivie

Back (Answer)

reaction reactants have less mol than products from solid to liquid liquid to gas solid to gas
