Entropy Revision and Gibbs Free Energy

entropy: measure of number of possible arrangements of the particles and their energies (measure of disorder of the system)

gases > liquid > solid
simpler atoms with fewer atoms have lower value (e.g. CO2 > CO; CO2 has more forms of arrangements)
harder substances have a lower entropy value (e.g. diamond and graphite - allotropes; diamond harder -> rigid, not moving around -> entropy lower // graphite softer, sliding)
temperature increase -> more disorder, increase in entropy

reactions

more gas molecules, greater number of ways to arrange them and higher entropy
decrease if disordered -> ordered (e.g. N2(g) + 3H2(g) -> 2NH3(g))

ENTROPY OF SYSTEM = PRODUCT - REACTANTS

Gibbs Free Energy Change

enthalpy change - temperature x entropy change
gibbs free energy positive -> not spontaneous
- H, + S -> spontaneous // +H, -S -> not spontaneous
same signs -> solid - liquid e.g. ice to water, +H, +S, spontaneous above 0°C

entropy enthalpy

+ - spontaneous, -+ non-spontaneous, ++ spontaneous at high temp, -- spontaneous at lower temp

Electrolysis

decompostion of a compound into its elements by an electric current
electrolyte: compound that is decomposed (molten/concentrated aq)
electrodes: carbon/metal
anode: positive electrode
cathode: negative electrode

redox:

cations to cathode and gains electrons (reduction, e.g. Zn2+ + 2e- -> Zn)
anions to anode and lose electrons (oxidation, e.g. 2Cl- -> Cl2 + 2e-)
overall reaction -> ZnCl2 -> Zn + Cl2

Quantitative Electrolysis

mass of substance produced at electrode deends on:

time
electric current
(Q=It)

Faraday

quantity of electric charge carried by 1 mole of electrons or 1 mole of singly charged ions
Ag+ + e- -> Ag (e- 1F)
1 F if electricity 96 485 CC/96 500CC

Gibbs free energy is the enthalpy change minus temperature times entropy change. Temperature must be in kelvin. Gibbs free energy must be negative in order to say that the reaction is feasible. Entropy of the system is equal to entropy of the product minus entropy of the reactant. If Gibbs free energy is positive, reaction is not spontaneous. Prediction of feasibility of reaction: If enthalpy is negative and entropy is positive, reaction is spontaneous. If enthalpy is positive and entropy is negative, reaction is non spontaneous. Electrolysis is the decomposition of a compound into elements by an electric current. Anions like to go to anode. Cathode attracts cations. Quantitative electrolysis: the mass of substance produced at electrode depends on the time and the strength of the electric current. Q=It Time must be in seconds. Faraday is the quantity of electric charge carried by 1 mole of electron. 1F equal to 96500C.

- entropy (-), enthalpy (+) would be a non spontaneous reaction
- if both entropy and enthalpy is (+), temperature must be higher for spontaneous reaction
- entropy (+), enthalpy (-), would be a spontaneous reaction
- if both entropy and enthalpy is (-), temperature must be lower for spontaneous reaction

- i need to focus more on the spontaneous and non spontaneous reactions, and also electrolysis

- teaching was good, but the electrolysis part was a bit fast

Kevin JC2 T

2021-09-13 07:35:25 UTC

if both enthalpy change and entropy change are positive then high temperature is needed for the reaction to be spontaneous, lower temperature is needed if both entropy and enthalpy change are negative. Harder substance, complex subtance have higher entropy value. Entropy value is proportional to the temperature. Gas molecules have higher entropy > liquid > solid.
Electrolysis is a process of decomposing compound by an electric current. Anions are attracted to anode, Cations are attracted to cathode

I learn about the meaning of entropy, and about spontaneous and non-spontaneous reaction. Spontaneous reaction occur when both entropy and enthalpy positive in high temperature or when the entropy is positive and enthalpy is negative , while non-spontaneous reaction occurs when entropy is negative and enthalpy is positive or when both is negative in low temperature. Gibbs free energy is the enthalpy change minus the product of temperature and entropy change. Electrolysis is the decomposition of ionic compounds with the use of electric current. Faraday is the quantity of electric charge carried by 1 mole of electrons or 1 mole of charged ions.

Entropy is the measure of disorder and randomness in a system.
Entropy of system = entropy of product = entropy of reactants
Gibbs Free Energy is used to find out whether or not a reaction is feasible/spontaneous.
G = H - TΔS
(Gopi is not so Hot Si)
Temperature is usually calculated under standard conditions (298K) (25C)
A reaction can be easily decided whether it is spontaneous or not by using the signs.

if entropy (-), enthalpy (+) it will be a non spontaneous reaction

if both entropy and enthalpy is (+), temperature must be higher for a spontaneous reaction

if entropy (+), enthalpy (-), it will be a spontaneous reaction

if both entropy and enthalpy is (-), temperature must be lower for spontaneous reaction

Electrolysis is the decomposition of ionic compounds to its ions using an electric current.
Faraday is the electric charge carried by one mole of electrons form one mole of an ion
The lesson was good and easy to follow. It was also not boring.

Mr. Gopi is not that hot si

During the lecture, I have learnt about Gibbs Free Energy . I learnt how to calculate it ,as well as predict its feasibility in various reactions.

I also learnt about electrolysis. I learnt that the mass of substance produced is propotional to time and current. (Q = IT). Then, I learnt about faraday (1F = 96500 C). It is the quantity of electric charge carried by 1 mole of electrons or 1 mole of singly charged ions. Lastly, I learnt how to apply these in various calculations.

We revised on:
Entropy is the measure of disorder and dispersal of energy in a system.
The more random it is, the higher the entropy.
Gas>Liquid>Solid.
The more atoms there are, the higher the entropy
CO2 > CO

Entoropy (-), Enthalpy (+) --> NON SPONTANEOUS
Entropy (+), Enthalpy (-) --> SPONTANEOUS

Gibbs Free Energy:

Entropy is the measure of disorder and randomness in a system. If entropy(ΔH) is negative and enthalpy(ΔS) is positive, it would be a non spontaneous reaction. If entropy is positive and enthalpy is negative, it would be a spontaneous reaction. If both entropy and enthalpy is positive, reaction will only be spontaneous at high temperature. If both entropy and enthalpy is negative, reaction will only be spontaneous at low temperature.

Entropy is the measure of disorder of a system

Gases hv the highest entropy, and we can use this to predict the sign of the change in entropy of a reaction

G=change in enthalpy - Temp x change in entropy

If G >0, reaction non- spontaneous
If G < 0, reaction spontaneous
Electrolysis:

Cathode- cation,
Anode-anion

Hi sir Gopi! Thanks for the very nice lecture, you explained the concepts very well and allowed me to understand better

PIKS_Ella_JC2 Grace

2021-09-13 12:14:18 UTC

I have learnt the following ideas:

Reviewed the definition of entropy.
Reactions are spontaneous when delta G is negative, non-spontaneous when delta G is positive, at that given temperature.
Gibbs Free Energy = Enthalpy change of reaction -T(delta S)
Reviewed the use of quadrants.
When delta H (+) and delta S (-), the reaction is not spontaneous.
When delta H (-) and delta S (+), the reaction is spontaneous.
When both delta H and delta S are negative, the reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures. Else, when both are positive it is spontaneous at high temperatures.
Learnt about the background knowledge of electrochemistry.
One Faraday is the charge carried by one mole of electrons or singly-charged ions.
1 F = 96500 C
To solve the questions, first equate and find the number of electrons involved.
Ensure that all reactions are calculated using the same units. Entropy is usually measured in J/Kmol and not kJ/Kmol. The quantity t in (Q = It) is measured in seconds.

ENTROPY

entropy : measure of number of possible arrangements of the particles and their energies (measure of disorder of the system)
gases has higher entropy compared to solids and liquids
simpler substances with fewer atoms have lower entropy values compared to more complex substances with more no. of atoms
harder substances have a lower entropy value (diamond has a lower entropy compared to graphite)
the more the gas molecules, greater no. of ways to arrange them and higher entropy (ordered to disordered) : endothermic
decrease in entropy if, disordered to ordered : exothermic
entropy of system : entropy of products — entropy of reactants

GIBBS FREE ENERGY CHANGE

Gibbs Free Energy = enthalpy change — (temperature)(change in entropy)
if negative value —> feasible/spontaneous at 298 K
if positive value —> not feasible/not spontaneous at 298 K

Enthalpy change = positive, entropy = positive, only spontaneous when temperature is higher
Enthalpy change = negative, entropy = negative, only spontaneous when temperature is lower
Enthalpy change = negative, entropy = positive, spontaneous
Enthalpy change = positive, entropy = negative, non-spontaneous

ELECTROLYSIS

cations move to cathode and gains electrons (reduction)
anions move to anode and lose electrons (oxidation)

From today's lecture, we learnt about entropy, Gibbs free energy and electrolysis. Below you can find the important things learnt from the lecture.

Entropy (S)

Measure of disorder of the system and dispersal of energy in a system

Factors affecting Entropy

ΔS system = S products - S reactants

Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)

ΔG= ΔH - TΔS system

Enthalpy(+) , Entropy(-) (non-spontaneous)
Enthalpy(-) , Entropy(+) (spontaneous)
Enthalpy(+) , Entropy(+) (temperature must be higher for a spontaneous reaction, as ΔG depends on T, if T increases, value of (-TΔS) is more negative, so ΔG is more negative, hence its more spontaneous)
Enthalpy(-) , Entropy(-) ( temperature must be lower for a spontaneous reaction, as ΔG depends on T, if T decreases, value of (-TΔS) is less positive, so ΔG is more negative, hence its more spontaneous)

Electrolysis

decomposition of a compound into its elements by an electric current
anode (positive electrode, anions, oxidation)
cathode (negative electrode, cations, reduction)
electrolyte (molten/concentrated aq.) and electrode (carbon/metal)

Quantitative Electrolysis

Entropy is the measure of disorder of a system. If entropy increases, it becomes more disordered. To find change in entropy we use the formula S products - S reactants.

We also learnt about Gibbs Free energy, given by the formula:
Change in Gibbs Free energy = Enthalpy Change - Temperature x Entropy Change.

Spontaneous reaction :
- Gibbs Free Energy must be negative
- Enthalpy is negative (-) & Entropy is positive (+)
- Enthalpy & Entropy is both negative (-) at lower temperature
- Enthalpy & Entropy are both positive (+) at higher temperature

Non-spontaneous :
- Enthalpy is positive (+) & Entropy is negative (-)

Entropy change = Entropy Products - Entropy Reactants

Higher entropy :
- More disorder
- More number of atoms

Entropy (S) is the measure of disorder in a system.
ΔS (system) = S (final) - S (initial)

More complex substances have more entropy.
Harder substances have lower entropy.
Gas generally has higher entropy.

Gibbs Free energy (ΔG) is the available energy of a substance that can be used in a chemical reaction.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS(system)

If enthalpy and entropy values are both positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous. Will be spontaneous if the value of T is large enough.
If enthalpy and entropy values are both negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous. Will be spontaneous if the value of T is low enough.
When enthalpy is negative and entropy is positive, and vice versa, the reaction will be spontaneous.

Electrolysis is the decomposition of compound into its elements by passing an electric current.

Oxidation occurs at the anode. Reduction occurs at the cathode.
