Thermodynamics: Entropy, Free Energy,
and Equilibrium
Spontaneous Processes
Spontaneous Process: A process that, once started, proceeds on its
own without a continuous external influence.
Spontaneous process

Spontaneity reaction always moves a system
toward equilibrium
◦ Both forward and reverse reaction depends on
 Temperature
 Pressure
 Composition of reaction mixture



Q < K; reaction proceeds in the forward
direction
Q>K; reaction proceeds in the reverse direction
Spontaneity of a reaction does not identify the
speed of reaction

Entropy and Probability
S = k ln W
k = Boltzmann’s constant
= 1.38 x 1023 J/K
W = The number of ways that the
state can be achieved.
Entropy and Temperature
Third Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of a perfectly ordered
crystalline substance at 0 K is zero.
Entropy and Temperature

ΔS increases
 when increasing the
average kinetic energy of
molecules
 Total energy is distributed
among the individual
molecules in a number of
ways
 Botzman- the more way
(W) that the energy can be
distributed the greater the
randomness of the state
and higher the entropy
Standard Molar Entropies and
Standard Entropies of Reaction
Standard Molar Entropy (So): The entropy of 1 mole of a pure
substance at 1 atm pressure and a specified temperature.

decomposition of N2O4.

2NO2(g)
Example

Calculate the standard entropy of reaction at 25oC for
the decomposition of calcium carbonate:
CaCO3(s)  CaO(s) + CO2(g)
16.6 Entropy and the Second Law of
Thermodynamics
First Law of Thermodynamics: In any process, spontaneous or
nonspontaneous, the total energy of a system and its surroundings is
constant.
• Helps keeping track of energy flow between system and the
surrounding
• Does not indicate the spontaneity of the process
Second Law of Thermodynamics: In any spontaneous process, the total
entropy of a system and its surroundings always increases.
• Provide a clear cut criterion of spontaneity
• Direction of spontaneous change is always determined by the
sign of the total entropy change
Entropy and the Second Law of
Thermodynamics
DStotal = DSsystem + DSsurroundings
or
DStotal = DSsys + DSsurr
DStotal > 0
The reaction is spontaneous.
DStotal < 0
The reaction is nonspontaneous.
DStotal = 0
The reaction mixture is at equilibrium.

16.7 Free Energy
Free Energy: a thermodynamic quantity defined by G = H - TS
D G = D H - TD S
Using:
DStotal = DSsys + DSsurr
Dssurr =
DG = -TDStotal
- DH
T
DStotal = DSsys - DH

Constant pressure and temperature
Free Energy
Using the second law and DG = DH - TDS = -TDStotal
DG < 0 The reaction is spontaneous.
DG > 0 The reaction is nonspontaneous.
DG = 0 The reaction mixture is at equilibrium.
16.8 Standard Free-Energy Changes for
Reactions
Thermodynamic Standard State: Most stable form of a
substance at 1 atm pressure and at a specified temperature,
usually 25 °C; 1 M concentration for all substances in solution.

Equilibrium
DG = DG° + RT ln Q
•
When the reaction mixture is mostly reactants:
Q << 1
RT ln Q << 0
DG < 0
The total free energy decreases as the reaction proceeds spontaneously in
the forward direction.
•
When the reaction mixture is mostly products:
Q >> 1
RT ln Q >> 0
DG > 0
The total free energy decreases as the reaction proceeds spontaneously in
the reverse direction.
Free Energy and Chemical

DG = DGo + RT ln Q
At equilibrium, DG = 0 and Q = K.
