and Free Energyand Free Energy

2. Laws Of Thermodynamics
•The first law of thermodynamics is a
statement of the law of conservation of
energy:
–Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. In
other words, the energy of the universe is
constant.

3. Energy in Chemical Reactions
•The potential energy is broken in chemical
bonds in compounds A and B
•The potential energy is the chemical bonds of
C and D is lower
–The excess has been given off (energy) as thermal
energy, or heat, which is kinetic energy
transferred to the surroundings
A + B C + D + Energy

4. Spontaneity
•Spontaneous Processes
•Processes that occur without outside
intervention
•Spontaneous processes may be fast or
slow
–Many forms of combustion are fast
–Conversion of graphite to diamond is
slow
–Kinetics is concerned with speed,
thermodynamics with the initial and
final state

5. Entropy (S)
•A measure of the randomness or disorder
•The driving force for a spontaneous process is an increase in the entropy of the universe
(one of the laws of thermodynamics!)
–The universe favors chaos!!
•Entropy is a thermodynamic function describing the number of arrangements that are
available to a system
•Nature proceeds towards the states that have the highest probabilities of existing

6. Second Law of ThermodynamicsSecond Law of Thermodynamics
"In any spontaneous process there is
always an increase in the entropy of the
universe"
"The entropy of the universe is
increasing"
For a given change to be spontaneous,
S

must be positive

7. Positional EntropyPositional Entropy
The probability of occurrence of a particular The probability of occurrence of a particular
state depends on the number of ways state depends on the number of ways
(microstates) in which that arrangement can (microstates) in which that arrangement can

8. Entropy and Temperature
•Entropy changes in the surrounding are
primarily determined by heat flow
•The magnitude of entropy is dependent on
the temperature
•The lower the temperature, the higher the
impact to the surroundings of the transfer of
energy

9. Entropy and Exothermic Processes
•Entropy and a process being exothermic are
related, but a process doesn’t have to be both
•Exothermic process
–S
surr
= positive, exothermic = more disorder in
surroundings
•Endothermic process
–S

surroudings

10. More on Entropy
•Why is the sign different?
–The enthalpy (H) concerns the system
–Our entropy here concerns the
surroundings
–As usual, temperatures must be in Kelvin

11. Example

12. Example
•1
st
reaction
•H = -125 kJ, 25
o
C + 273 = 298 K
•S
surr = -125 kJ/298 K = 419 J/K
•Remember 125 kJ = 125000 J
•s
surr is positive, calculation refers to
system!

13. Example
•2nd reaction
•H = 778 kJ, 25
o
C + 273 = 298 K
•S = 778 kJ/298 K = -2.61 kJ/K
•Remember 778 kJ = 778000 J

14. Free Energy, G
•Typically defined as the energy available to
perform work
•G determines whether a process is spontaneous
or not (G = negative = spontaneous)
–Takes into account enthalpy, entropy, and
temperature
–Symbol honors Josiah Gibbs (sometimes called Gibbs
Free Energy or Gibbs energy), a physics professor at
Yale during the late 1800’s who was important in
developing much of modern thermodynamics
G = G = H - TH - TSS

15. Energy Diagrams
•Left – A spontaneous reaction
–The products have a lower free energy (G) than the
reactants (G < 0)
•Right – A nonspontaneous reaction
–The reactants have a higher free energy than the products
(G > 0)

16. What If?
•G = 0?
–The reaction is at equilibrium
•As a result
G < 0The reaction is spontaneous.
G > 0The reaction is nonspontaneous.
G = 0The reaction mixture is at equilibrium.
-It’s not moving forward or reverse overall – multiple
processes, same speed

17. Dependence on Temperature
•Notice there are two terms in the equation
–Spontaneity can change when the temperature
changes.
–Temperature and spontaneity are not necessarily
correlated.
•A reaction with a negative entropy (loss of randomness)
would be LESS spontaneous at higher temperatures – it
doesn’t want to happen, but is pushed by the extra heat.
G = H - TS

18. Reaction Rates
•Free energy (G) values tell us if reactions will occur
•They do not tell us how fast reactions will occur.
•During a reaction
–Reactant particles must physically collide
–They must collide with enough energy to break the
bonds in the reactant
•Some reactions require the addition of heat energy. This
gives the reactants the extra energy needed (more collisions,
harder collisions) for this process to occur.

20. Example of Gibbs Energy
•For the reaction at 298 K, the values of H and
S are 58.03 kJ and 176.6 J/K, respectively.
What is the value of G at 298 K?

21. Example of Gibbs Energy
•For the reaction at 298 K, the values of H and
S are 58.03 kJ and 176.6 J/K, respectively.
What is the value of G at 298 K?
G = G = H - TH - TSS
G = 58.03 kJ – (298 K)(176.6 J/K)G = 58.03 kJ – (298 K)(176.6 J/K)
G = 5.40 kJ Not spontaneous at G = 5.40 kJ Not spontaneous at

22. Second Example

values for the standard enthalpy and standard

G = 92.2 kJ  (298 K)(-198.7 J/K)(1 kJ/1000 J)
= -33.0 kJ

= +98.8 kJ; S = +141.5 J/K
•(a)Is this reaction spontaneous under
standard-state conditions at 25 °C?
•(b)At what temperature will the reaction
become spontaneous?

25. Third Example
•To determine whether the reaction is spontaneous
at 25 °C, we need to determine the sign of G = H
 TS. At 25 C (298 K), G for the reaction is
•G = H  TS = (98.8 kJ)  (298 K)(0.1415 kJ/K)
• = (98.8 kJ)  (42.2 kJ)
• = 56.6 k
•Reaction is NOT spontaneous!

26. Third Example
•At temperatures above 698 K, the TS term becomes
larger than H, making the Gibbs energy negative and the
process spontaneous
•Why is this postive this time?
–Remember, here we’re dealing with the system, not the
surroundings!
At what temperature does this become spontaenous?

27. Entropy Changes in Chemical
Reactions
•Constant Temperature and Pressure
–Reactions involving gaseous molecules
•The change in positional entropy is dominated
by the relative numbers of molecules of
gaseous reactants and products
Typically, more moles of gas, more entropy

28. Third Law of Thermodynamics
•"The entropy of a perfect crystal at O K is
zero" (NO disorder, since everything is in
perfect position)
–No movement = 0 K
–No disorder = no entropy (S = 0)

29. Standard State Conditions
•We’ve seen that quantities such as entropy (S),
enthalpy (H), and free energy (G) are dependent
upon the conditions present
•Standard State
–One set of conditions at which quantities can be
compared
•Pure solids/liquids/gases at 1 atm pressure
•Solutes at 1 M concentration
•Typically @ 25

C (298 K)
•Designated by

35. Standard Free Energy Change
• G
0
is the change in free energy that will occur
if the reactants in their standard states are
converted to the products in their standard
states
– G
0
cannot be measured directly
–The more negative the value for G
0
, the farther to
the right the reaction will proceed in order to
achieve equilibrium
–Equilibrium is the lowest possible free energy
position for a reaction

42. The Dependence of Free Energy on Pressure

on pressure

50. Free Energy and Work
•The maximum possible useful work obtainable
from a process at constant temperature and
pressure is equal to the change in free energy
•The amount of work obtained is always less the
maximum
–Work is changed to heat in surroudings – You lose
efficiency, but the S
surr increases (favorable!)
