Chapter 19. Chemical Thermodynamics 19.2 Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy Change

• Entropy, S, is a thermodynamic term that reflects the disorder, or randomness, of the system. • The more disordered, or random, the system is, the larger the value of S. • Entropy is a state function. • independent of path. • For a system, ∆S = Sfinal – Sinitial. • If ∆S > 0 the randomness ↑, if ∆S < 0 the order ↑. • Suppose a system changes reversibly between state 1 and state 2. • Then, the change in entropy is given by,

• Where qrev is the amount of heat added reversibly to the system. • The subscript “rev” reminds us that the path between states is reversible. • Example: A phase change occurs at constant T with the reversible addition of heat.

• with the units J• K-1 or J• (mol-1K-1)

∆S for Phase Changes

• Phase changes (such as melting a substance at its melting point) are isothermal processes.

Sample Exercise 19.2 (p. 819) Elemental mercury is a silver liquid at room temperature. Its normal freezing point is -38.9oC, and its molar enthalpy of fusion is ∆Hfusion = 2.29 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of the system when 50.0 g of Hg(l) freezes at the normal freezing point?

Practice Exercise 1 (19.2) Do all exothermic phase changes have a negative value for the entropy change of the system?

a) Yes, because the heat transferred from the system has a negative sign. b) Yes, because the temperature decreases during the phase transition. c) No, because the entropy change depends on the sign of the heat transferred to or from the system. d) No, because the heat transferred to the system has a positive sign. e) More than one of the previous answers is correct.

Practice Exercise 2 (19.2)

The normal boiling point of ethanol, C2H5OH, is 78.3oC, and its molar enthalpy of vaporization is 38.56 kJ/mol. What is the change in entropy in the system when 68.3 g of C2H5OH(g) at 1 atm condenses to liquid at the normal boiling point? (-163 J/K)

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

• The second law of thermodynamics explains why spontaneous processes have a direction. • In any spontaneous process, the total entropy of the universe will increase . • The change in entropy of the universe is the sum of the change in entropy of the system and the change in entropy of the surroundings.

∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr • For a reversible process:

∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr = 0 • For a spontaneous process (i.e., irreversible):

∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr > 0 • Entropy is not conserved: ∆Suniv is continually ↑. • Note: The second law states that the entropy of the universe must ↑ in a spontaneous process. • It is possible for the entropy of a system to ↓ as long as the entropy of the surroundings ↑.

19.3 The Molecular Interpretation of Entropy

• The entropy of a system indicates its disorder. • A gas is less ordered than a liquid which is less ordered than a solid. • Any process that ↑ the number of gas molecules ↑ in entropy. • When NO(g) reacts with O2(g) to form NO2(g), the total number of gas molecules ↓.

2NO(g) + O2(g) 2NO2(g) the entropy ↓.

• How can we relate changes in entropy to changes at the molecular level? • Formation of the new N-O bonds “ties up” more of the atoms in the products than in the reactants. • The degrees of freedom associated with the atoms have changed. • ↑ freedom of movement and degrees of freedom ↑ the entropy of the system. • Individual molecules have degrees of freedom associated with motions within the molecule. • There are three atomic modes of motion: • Translational motion. • The moving of a molecule from one point in space to another. • Vibrational motion. • The shortening and lengthening of bonds, including the change in bond angles. • Rotational motion. • The spinning of a molecule about some axis.


- 4 -

• Energy is required to get a molecule to translate, vibrate or rotate. • These forms of motion are ways molecules can store energy. • ↑ energy stored in translation, vibration and rotation ↑ entropy.

Boltzmann’s Equation and Microstates

• Statistical thermodynamics is a field that uses statistics and probability to link the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.

• Entropy may be connected to the behavior of atoms and molecules. • Envision a microstate: a snapshot of the positions and speeds of all molecules in a sample of a

particular macroscopic state at a given point in time. • Consider a molecule of ideal gas at a given temperature and volume. • A microstate is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the gas

molecules. • Other snapshots are possible (different microstates). • Each thermodynamic state has a characteristic number of microstates (W). • The Boltzmann equation shows how entropy (S) relates to W.

S = k lnW, where k is Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10–23 J/K). • Entropy is thus a measure of how many microstates are associated with a particular macroscopic state. • Any change in the system that increases the number of microstates gives a positive value of ∆S and vice

versa. • In general, the number of microstates will increase with an increase in volume, an increase in

temperature, or an increase in the number of molecules because any of these changes increases the possible positions and energies of the molecules.

Probability and the locations of gas molecules.

The two molecules are colored red and blue to keep track of them. (a) Before the stopcock is opened, both molecules are in the right-hand flask. (b) After the stopcock is opened, there are four possible arrangements of the two molecules. Only one of the four arrangements corresponds to both molecules being in the right-hand flask. The greater number of possible arrangements corresponds to greater disorder in the system. In general, the probability that the molecules will stay in the original flask is (½)n, where n is the number of molecules.

Making Qualitative Predictions About ∆S

• In most cases an increase in the number of microstates (and thus entropy) parallels an increase in: • temperature • volume • number of independently moving particles.

• Consider the melting of ice. • In the ice, the molecules are held rigidly in a lattice.

• The intermolecular attractions in the three dimensional lattice restrict the molecules to vibrational motion only.

• When it melts, the molecules have more freedom to move (↑ degrees of freedom). • The molecules are more randomly distributed.

• Consider a KCl crystal dissolving in water. • The solid KCl has ions in a highly ordered arrangement. • crystal dissolves the ions have more freedom more randomly distributed. • However, now the water molecules are more ordered. • Some must be used to hydrate the ions. • Thus this example involves both ordering and disordering. • The disordering usually predominates (for most salts).

• In general, entropy will increase when: • liquids or solutions are formed from solids, • gases are formed from solids or liquids, or • the number of gas molecules increases.

Sample Exercise 19.3 (p. 826)

Predict whether ∆S is positive or negative for each of the following processes, assuming each occurs at constant temperature:

a) H2O(l) H2O(g)

b) Ag+(aq) + Cl-

(aq) AgCl(s)

c) 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) 2 Fe2O3(s)

d) N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g)


Indicate whether each process produces an increase or decrease in the entropy of the system:

a) CO2(s) CO2(g)

b) CaO(s) + CO2(g) CaCO3(s)

c) HCl(g) + NH3(g) NH4Cl(s)

d) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g)


Since the entropy of the universe increases for spontaneous processes, does it mean that the entropy of the universe decreases for nonspontaneous processes?

The Third Law of Thermodynamics • In a perfect crystal at 0 K there is no translation, rotation or vibration of molecules = state of perfect order • Entropy will ↑ as we ↑ the temperature of the perfect crystal. • Third law of thermodynamics: The entropy of a perfect pure crystal at 0 K = 0. • Entropy will increase as we increase the temperature of the perfect crystal. • Molecules gain vibrational motion ↑ degrees of freedom. • As we heat a substance from 0 K the entropy must ↑. • The entropy changes dramatically at a phase change. • When a solid melts, the molecules and atoms have a large ↑ in freedom of movement. • Boiling corresponds to a much greater change in entropy than melting. • In general, entropy will ↑ when liquids or solutions are formed from solids.

• Gases are formed from solids or liquids. • The number of gas molecules increase.

19.4 Entropy Changes in Chemical Reactions

• Absolute entropy can be determined from complicated measurements. • Values are based on a reference point of zero for a perfect crystalline solid at 0 K (the 3rd law). • Standard molar entropy, So: molar entropy of a substance in its standard state. • Similar in concept to ∆Ho. • Units: J/mol-K. • Note: the units of ∆H are kJ/mol.

In general, the more complex a molecule (that is, the greater the number of atoms present), the greater the molar entropy of the substance, as illustrated by the molar entropies of these three simple hydrocarbons:

• Some observations about So values: • Standard molar entropies of elements ≠ zero. • So

gas > Soliquid or So

solid. • So tends to ↑ with ↑ molar mass of the substance. • So tends to ↑ with the number of atoms in the formula of the substance. • For a chemical reaction which produces n products from m reactants:

• Example: Consider the reaction:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

∆So = {2So(NH3) – [So(N2) + 3So(H2)]}

, for the synthesis of ammonia from N2(g) and H2(g) at 298 K. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) (-198.3 J/K)

- 11 -

Entropy Changes in the Surroundings

• For an isothermal process, • ∆Ssurr = –qsys / T • For a reaction at constant pressure, • qsys = ∆H • Example: consider the reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) • The entropy gained by the surroundings is > the entropy lost by the system. • This is the sign of a spontaneous reaction: the overall entropy change of the universe is positive. • ∆Suniv > 0

19.5 Gibbs Free Energy

• For a spontaneous reaction the entropy of the universe must ↑. • Reactions with large negative ∆H values tend to be spontaneous. • How can we use ∆S and ∆H to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous? • The Gibbs free energy, (free energy), G, of a state is:

G = H–TS • Free energy is a state function. • For a process occurring at constant temperature, the free energy change is: ∆G = ∆H–T∆S • Recall: • ∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr = ∆Ssys + [–∆Hsys / T] –T∆Suniv = ∆Hsys – T∆Ssys

• The sign of ∆G is important in predicting the spontaneity of the reaction. • If ∆G < 0 then the forward reaction is spontaneous. • If ∆G = 0 then the reaction is at equilibrium and no net reaction will occur. • If ∆G > 0 then the forward reaction is not spontaneous. • However, the reverse reaction is spontaneous. • If ∆G > 0, work must be supplied from the surroundings to drive the reaction. • The equilibrium position in a spontaneous process is given by the minimum free energy available to the

system. • The free energy ↓ until it reaches this minimum value.


- 12 -

Standard Free-Energy Changes • We can tabulate standard free energies of formation, ∆Go

f . • Standard states are: pure solid, pure liquid, 1 atm (gas), 1 M concentration (solution), and ∆Go = 0 for

elements. • We most often use 25oC (or 298 K) as the temperature. • The standard free-energy change for a process is given by:

• The quantity ∆Go for a reaction tells us whether a mixture of substances will spontaneously react to produce more reactants (∆Go > 0) or products (∆Go < 0).

Free energy and equilibrium.

In the reaction N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ⇌ 2 NH3(g), if the reaction mixture has too much N2 and H2 relative to NH3 (left), the equilibrium lies too far to the left (Q < K) and NH3 forms spontaneously. If there is too much NH3 in the mixture (right), the equilibrium lies too far to the right (Q > K) and the NH3 decomposes spontaneously into N2 and H2. Both of these spontaneous processes are "downhill" in free energy. At equilibrium (center), Q = K and the free energy is at a minimum (ΔG = 0).

19.6 Free Energy and Temperature

• The sign of ∆G tells us if the reaction is spontaneous, at a given T and P condition. • Focus on ∆G = ∆H – T∆S. • If ∆H <0 and –T∆S <0: • ∆G will always be <0. • Thus the reaction will be spontaneous. • If ∆H >0 and –T∆S >0: • ∆G will always be >0. • Thus the reaction will not be spontaneous. • If ∆H and –T∆S have different signs: • The sign of ∆G will depend on the sign and magnitudes of the other terms. • Temperature will be an important factor. • For example, consider the following reaction:

H2O(s) H2O(l) ∆H >0, ∆S > 0 • At a T < 0oC: • ∆H > T∆S • ∆G> 0 • The melting of ice is not spontaneous when the temperature is < 0oC. • At a T > 0oC: • ∆H < T∆S • ∆G < 0 • The melting of ice is spontaneous when the temperature is > 0oC. • At 0oC: • ∆H = T∆S • ∆G = 0 • Ice and water are in equilibrium at 0oC. • Note that we have assumed that both ∆H° and ∆S° were independent of temperature; they aren’t, but the

changes are negligible. • Even though a reaction has a negative ∆G it may occur too slowly to be observed. • Thermodynamics gives us the direction of a spontaneous process; it does not give us the rate of the

process.

• At equilibrium, Q = Keq and ∆G = 0, so: ∆G = ∆Go + RTlnQ 0 = ∆Go + RTlnKeq ∴ ∆Go = – RTlnKeq • From the above we can conclude: • If ∆Go < 0, then Keq > 1. • If ∆Go = 0, then Keq = 1. • If ∆Go > 0, then Keq < 1.

Driving Nonspontaneous Reactions

• If ∆G > 0, work must be supplied from the surroundings to drive the reaction. • Biological systems often use one spontaneous reaction to drive another nonspontaneous reaction. • These reactions are coupled reactions. • The energy required to drive most nonspontaneous reactions comes from the metabolism of foods. • Example: Consider the oxidation of glucose:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) ∆Go = –2880 kJ. • The free energy released by glucose oxidation is used to convert low energy adenosine diphosphate

(ADP) and inorganic phosphate into high energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP). • When ATP is converted back to ADP the energy released may be used to “drive” other reactions.
