Jeffrey Mack California State University, Sacramento Chapter 19 Principles of Chemical Reactivity: Entropy and Free Energy

Chemical Kinetics provides us with information about the rate of reaction and how the reaction proceeds. Chemical Thermodynamics provides us with information about equilibrium and whether or not a reaction is Spontaneous. Entropy & Free Energy

Spontaneous Chemical Thermodynamics provides us with information about equilibrium and whether or not a reaction is Spontaneous. Spontaneous changes occur only in the direction that leads to equilibrium. Systems never change spontaneously in a direction that takes them farther from equilibrium. Example: Heat Transfer Heat (thermal energy) always flows spontaneously from a hot object to a cold object. The process occurs until thermal equilibrium is achieved, that is when both objects are at the same temperature. Entropy & Free Energy

Additional Examples: Solvation of a Soluble salt: NH 4 NO 3 (s) dissolves spontaneously even the process is endothermic (  H > 0) Expansion of a gas and Diffusion. Gasses mix to form homogeneous mixtures spontaneously. Certain Phase Changes: Ice melts spontaneously above 0 o C. Water evaporates even though the enthalpy of vaporization is endothermic. Certain Chemical Reactions: Na(s) reacts vigorously when dropped in water. Iron rusts when exposed to the atmosphere. Spontaneous Process

But many spontaneous reactions or processes are endothermic or even have ∆H  0. NH 4 NO 3 (s) + heat  NH 4 NO 3 (aq) ∆H = 0 Spontaneous Process

A Review of Concepts of Thermodynamics First law of thermodynamics: The law of conservation of energy; energy cannot be created or destroyed. State Function: Quantity in which its determination is path independent.  U = q + w: The change in internal energy of a system is a function of heat and work done on or by the system.  H: Heat transferred at constant pressure. Exothermic Process:  H < 0 Endothermic Process:  H > 0Thermodynamics

Enthalpy alone does not predict spontaneity: Some processes are energetically favored (  r H < 0) but not spontaneous. Equilibrium alone cannot determine spontaneity: Some processes are favored based on Equilibrium (K >> 1) yet they are non-spontaneous. There must be another factor that plays a role in determination of spontaneity! Thermodynamics

Diamond is thermodynamically favored to convert to graphite, but not kinetically favored. Paper burns once the reaction is initiates. The process is product-favored & kinetically favored. Thermodynamics & Kinetics

Reactants Products Kinetics Thermodynamics Thermodynamics & Kinetics

Factors that Affect Spontaneity (Thermodynamic favorability): 1.Enthalpy: Comparison of bond energy (  H) 2.Entropy: Randomness vs. Order of a system (  S) In general, enthalpy is more important than entropy. Thermodynamics & Kinetics

dispersedIn a spontaneous processes the energy of the final state is more dispersed. disorderThe system moves to a higher state of disorder. ENTROPY, S.The thermodynamic quantity associated with disorder and energy dispersal is called ENTROPY, S. The 2 nd law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process results in an increase in the entropy of the universe.  S > 0 Reaction of K and water Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Observation of a spontaneous process shows that it is associated with a dispersal of energy. Energy Dispersal Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

The change in entropy for a spontaneous process is given by: Where q rev is the heat gained or lost by the system during the process and T is the absolute temperature. A reversible process can be returned to its original state. (chemical equilibrium), an irreversible process cannot. Example: The breaking of a coffee mug into many pieces is an irreversible process. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

To begin, particle 1 has 2 units of energy and 2-4 have none. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 1 can transfer one unit of energy to particle 2, then the other to 3 or 4. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 2 can initially have two units of energy. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 2 transfer one unit to particles 4 or 3. (2 to 1 has already been counted.) Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 4 can initially have two units of energy. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 4 transfer one unit to particle 3. (4 to 1 & 4 to 2 have already been counted.) Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Particle 3 can start with two units of energy. Energy transfers between particle 3 were previously counted. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

microstate Each unique combination that results in a dispersion of energy is called a microstate. There are 10 microstates in this system. The greater the number of microstates, the greater the entropy of the system. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

As the size of the container increases, the number of microstates accessible to the system increases. Therefore the entropy of the system increases. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

The entropy of liquid water is greater than the entropy of solid water (ice) at 0˚ C. Energy is more dispersed in liquid water than in solid water due to the lack of an ordered network as in the solid state. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Entropy and Microstates: As the number of microstates increases, so does the entropy of the system. S = k  lnW k = Boltzman’s constant (1.381  10  23 J/K) W = the number of microstates Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Entropy and Microstates: The change in entropy associated with a process is a function of the number of final and initial microstates of the system. If W final > W inital,  S > 0 If W final < W inital,  S < 0 Entropy, Entropy Change, & Energy Dispersal: A Summary

When a solute dissolves in a solvent the process is spontaneous owing to the increase in entropy. Matter (and energy) are more dispersed. The number of microstates is increased. Dispersal of Energy: Entropy

Defined by Ludwig Boltzmann, the third law states that a perfect crystal at 0 K has zero entropy; that is, S =0. The entropy of an element or compound under any other temperature and pressure is the entropy gained by converting the substance from 0 K to those conditions. To determine the value of S, it is necessary to measure the energy transferred as heat under reversible conditions for the conversion from 0 K to the defined conditions and then to use Equation 19.1 Because it is necessary to add energy as heat to raise the temperature, all substances have positive entropy values at temperatures above 0 K. Standard Molar Entropies

The standard molar entropy, S°, of a substance is the entropy gained by converting 1 mol of it from a perfect crystal at 0 K to standard state conditions (1 bar, 1m for a solution) at the specified temperature. Standard Molar Entropies

Standard molar entropy values can be used to calculate the change in entropy that occurs in various processes under standard conditions. The standard entropy change for a reaction (  r S°) can be found in the same manner as  r H° were: Where n & m are the stoichiometric balancing coefficients. This calculation is valid only under reversible conditions. Determining Entropy Changes in Physical & Chemical Processes

The second law of thermodynamics states:..  S° universe = ∆S° system + ∆S° surroundings Any change in entropy for the system plus the entropy change for the surroundings must equal the overall change in entropy for the universe. A process is considered to be spontaneous under standard conditions if  S°(universe) is greater than zero. 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics

Problem: Calculate the entropy change for the surroundings for the reaction: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g)  2H 2 O(l)  S° universe =  327 J/K + 1917 J/K = 1590. J/K The entropy of the universe increases ( > 0) therefore the process is spontaneous at standard state conditions. The process is spontaneous due to the entropy change in the surroundings, not the system. 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics

Spontaneous or Not?

The method used so far to determine whether a process is spontaneous required evaluation of two quantities,  S°(system) and  S°(surroundings). J. Willard Gibbs asserted that that the maximum non-PV work available to the system must be a function of Enthalpy and Entropy: G = H – TS G = Gibbs Free energy of the system, H = system enthalpy and S = the entropy of the system. J. Willard Gibbs 1839-1903 Gibbs Free Energy, G

Since it is impossible to measure individual values of enthalpy, we often express free energy in terms of the changes of thermodynamic quantities.  (G = H – TS) At constant temperature:  G° = Gibbs Free energy change of the system,  H° = enthalpy change and  S° = the entropy change at SS conditions. Gibbs Free Energy, G

If the reaction is exothermic (  H < 0) And the change in entropy is positive (  H > 0) at a given temperature, then  S < 0. We then can assert that if  G < 0 that the reaction is spontaneous as well as product favored! Spontaneity is a function of energy and dispersion! Gibbs Free Energy, G

Since  r G° is related to  S° universe, it follows that: If  r G° < 0: The process is spontaneous in the direction written under standard conditions. If  r G° = 0: The process is at equilibrium under standard conditions and K=1 If  r G° > 0: The process is non-spontaneous in the direction written under standard conditions. Conclusion: A reaction proceeds spontaneously toward the minimum in free energy, which corresponds to equilibrium.  r G o & Equilibrium

Calculating & Using Free Energy Standard Free Energy of Formation

 r G° is negative at 298 K, so the reaction is predicted to be spontaneous under standard conditions at this temperature. It is also predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium. Calculating & Using Free Energy Standard Free Energy of Formation

Under reversible conditions, both enthalpy and entropy are state functions. It follows that the Gibbs free energy must also be. Therefore we can write that : Gibbs Free Energy, G

Is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate product- favored? If so, is it enthalpy- or entropy-driven? NH 4 NO 3 (s) + heat  NH 4 NO 3 (aq) Calculating ∆ r G°

By definition: G = H − TS Indicating that free energy is a function of temperature.  r G° will therefore change with temperature. A consequence of this temperature dependence is that, in certain instances, reactions can be product-favored at equilibrium at one temperature and reactant- favored at another.
