Textbook Solutions for Quantitative Chemical Analysis

Chapter 6 Problem 6-7

Question

(a) A favorable entropy change occurs when S is positive. Does the order of the system increase or decrease when S is positive? (b) A favorable enthalpy change occurs when H is negative. Does the system absorb heat or give off heat when H is negative? (c) Write the relation between G, H, and S. Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to state whether G must be positive or negative for a spontaneous change.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Here we need to explain the relation between entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs helmholtz energy to spontaneity of a reaction.

Entropy means the disorderness or randomness of a system.

Enthalpy  is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the total amount of energy in a system, including its internal energy (the energy associated with the motion and configuration of its atoms and molecules) and the energy that may be exchanged between the system and its surroundings as heat or work.

Gibbs free energy  is a thermodynamic quantity that measures the maximum amount of work that can be obtained from a thermodynamic system at constant temperature and pressure.
