>Entropy and Free Energy Free Energy and SpontaneousReactions
A nonspontaneous reaction is a reaction that does not favor the formation of products at the specified conditions.
Photosynthesis is a nonspontaneous reaction that requires an input of energy.

>Entropy and Free Energy18.4 Free Energy and SpontaneousReactions
Spontaneous reactions produce substantial amounts of products at equilibrium and release free energy.
Gibb’s free energy/free energy is energy that is available to do work and is represented by the symbols ΔG; it is calculated from the ΔH (change in enthalpy; heat of reaction), temperature (T in kelvin) and ΔS (change in entropy) for the reaction.
What part does entropy play in chemical reactions?

>Entropy and Free Energy Entropy
Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system.
• Physical and chemical systems attain the lowest possible energy.
• The law of disorder states that the natural tendency is for systems to move in the direction of maximum disorder or randomness.
• An increase in entropy favors the spontaneous chemical reaction; a decrease favors the nonspontaneous reaction.

>Entropy and Free Energy Entropy
For a given substance, the entropy of the gas is greater than the entropy of the liquid or the solid. Similarly, the entropy of the liquid is greater than that of the solid.

>Entropy and Free Energy Entropy
Entropy tends to increase when temperature increases. As the temperature increases, the molecules move faster and faster, which increases the disorder.

Enthalpy, Entropy, and Free Energy
Enthalpy, Entropy, and Free Energy
What two factors determine the spontaneity of a reaction?
The size and direction of enthalpy changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous; that is, whether it favors products and releases free energy.
