3 Concept Maps
Complete Mind Map: Spontaneity of Chemical Reactions
The map in words
- Spontaneity of Reactions
- Spontaneous Process
- Occurs naturally
- No external agency needed
- Unidirectional
- Examples
- Rusting of iron
- Mixing of gases
- Cooling of hot water
- Non-Spontaneous Process
- Needs external energy
- Reverse of spontaneous
- Entropy S
- Measure of disorder
- Unit J per K per mol
- Delta S = q_rev divided by T
- Order
- Solid lowest
- Liquid middle
- Gas highest
- Increases with temperature
- Second Law
- Delta S_universe greater than 0
- Spontaneous
- Delta S_universe equals 0
- Equilibrium
- Third Law
- Perfect crystal at 0K
- S equals zero
- Gives absolute entropy
- Gibbs Energy G
- G = H minus TS
- Delta G = Delta H minus T Delta S
- Delta G less than 0 spontaneous
- Delta G equals 0 equilibrium
- Delta G greater than 0 non-spontaneous
- Standard Gibbs Energy
- Delta r G0 from Delta f G0
- Delta r G0 = minus RT ln K
- Large K gives negative Delta r G0
- Spontaneous Process
