Free Energy,
and Equilibrium
spontaneous
nonspontaneous
In this chapter we will determine the direction of a chemical
reaction and calculate equilibrium constant using
thermodynamic values: Entropy and Enthalpy.
Spontaneous Processes
Spontaneous Process: A process that, once
started, proceeds on its own without a continuous
external influence.
Universe: System + Surroundings
The system is what you observe; surroundings are everything else.
Thermodynamics
State functions are properties that are determined by the state
of the system, regardless of how that condition was achieved.
energy, pressure, volume, temperature
Potential energy of hiker 1 and hiker 2
is the same even though they took
different paths.
Laws of Thermodynamics
1) Energy is neither created nor destroyed.
2) In any spontaneous process the total Entropy of
a system and its surrounding always
increases.
We will prove later:
∆G = ∆Hsys – T∆Ssys
∆G < 0 Reaction is spontaneous in forward
direction
3) The entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is
zero at the absolute zero ( K=0)
Enthalpy, Entropy, and Spontaneous
Processes
State Function: A function or property whose value
depends only on the present state, or condition, of the
system, not on the path used to arrive at that state.
Enthalpy Change (DH): The heat change in a reaction
or process at constant pressure.
Entropy (DS): The amount of Molecular randomness
change in a reaction or process at constant pressure.
Enthalpy Change
Exothermic:
CH4(g) + 2O2(g)
CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Entropy
The sign of entropy change, DS,
associated with the boiling of water is
_______.
1. Positive
2. Negative
3. Zero
Correct Answer:
1. Positive
2. Negative
3. Zero
Vaporization of a liquid
to a gas leads to a large
increase in volume and
hence entropy; DS
must be positive.

Third Law of Thermodynamics
The entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is zero at the
absolute zero ( K=0)
Ssolid < Sliquid < Sgas
Entropy Changes in the System (DSsys)
When gases are produced (or consumed)
•
If a reaction produces more gas molecules than it
consumes, DS0 > 0.
•
If the total number of gas molecules diminishes,
DS0 < 0.
•
If there is no net change in the total number of gas
molecules, then DS0 may be positive or negative .
What is the sign of the entropy change for the following
reaction? 2Zn (s) + O2 (g)
2ZnO (s)
The total number of gas molecules goes down, DS is negative.
Standard Molar Entropies and Standard
Entropies of Reaction
Standard Molar Entropy (S°): The entropy of 1 mole
of a pure substance at 1 atm pressure and a specified
temperature.
Calculated by using S = k ln W , W = Accessible microstates
of translational, vibrational and rotational motions
Review of Ch 8:
•∆G = ∆H – T∆S see page 301 of your book
We will show the proof of this formula later in this chapter
•
Calculating DH° for a reaction:
DH° = DH°f (Products) – DH°f (Reactants)
See Appendix B, end of your book
•
For a balanced equation, each heat of formation must
be multiplied by the stoichiometric coefficient.
aA + bB
cC + dD
DH° = [cDH°f (C) + dDH°f (D)] – [aDH°f (A) + bDH°f (B)]

DS0rxn =
cC + dD
[ cS0(C) + dS0(D) ] - [ aS0(A) + bS0(B) ]
DS0rxn = S nS0 (products)
- S mS0 (reactants)
What is the standard entropy change for the following
reaction at 250C? 2CO (g) + O2 (g)
2CO2 (g)
S0(CO) = 197.6 J/K•mol
S0(O2) = 205.0 J/K•mol
S0(CO2) = 213.6 J/K•mol
DS0rxn = 2 x S0(CO2) – [2 x S0(CO) + S0 (O2)]
DS0rxn = 427.2 – [395.2 + 205.0] = -173.0J/K•mol
Calculating ∆S for a Reaction
∆So = S So (products) - S So (reactants)
Consider 2 H2(g) + O2(g) ---> 2 H2O(liq)
∆So = 2 So (H2O) - [2 So (H2) + So (O2)]
∆So = 2 mol (69.9 J/K•mol) [2 mol (130.6 J/K•mol) +
1 mol (205.0 J/K•mol)]
∆So = -326.4 J/K
Note that there is a decrease in Entropy because 3
mol of gas give 2 mol of liquid.
Calculate DS° for the equation below using the
standard entropy data given:
2 NO(g) + O2(g)  2 NO2(g)
DS° values (J/mol-K): NO2(g) = 240, NO(g) = 211,
O2(g) = 205.
1. +176 J/mol
2. +147 J/mol
3. 147 J/mol
4. 76 J/mol
Correct Answer:
1. +176 J/K
2. +147 J/K
3. 147 J/K
4. 76 J/K
DS = S DS  (products)  S DS  (reactants)
DS° = 2(240)  [2(211) + 205]
DS° = 480  [627]
DS° =  147

Using ∆G = ∆H – T∆S, we can predict the sign of ∆G
from the sign of ∆H and ∆S.
1)
2)
If both ∆H and ∆S are positive,
∆G will be negative only when the temperature
value is large.
Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous only at high
temperature.
If ∆H is positive and ∆S is negative,
∆G will always be positive.
Therefore, the reaction is not spontaneous
Gibbs Free Energy:
∆G = ∆H – T∆S
04
3) If ∆H is negative and ∆S is positive,
∆G will always be negative.
Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous
4) If both ∆H and ∆S are negative,
∆G will be negative only when the temperature value is
small.
Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous only at Low
temperatures.

•
The sign of ∆G° tells the direction of spontaneous reaction
when both reactants and products are present at standard
state conditions.
Under nonstandard( condition where pressure is not 1atm or
concentrations of solutions are not 1M) conditions, ∆G˚
becomes ∆G.
