|
Term
| what do spontaneous reactions produce and release at equilibrium? |
|
Definition
| produce substantial amounts of products and release free energy |
|
|
Term
| what does spontaneity depend on? |
|
Definition
| spontaneity depends on enthalpy and entropy changes |
|
|
Term
| (S) a measure of the disorder of a system; systems tend to go from a state of order (low entropy) to a state of maximum disorder (high entropy) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| it is a natural tendency of systems to move in the direction of maximum chaos or disorder |

|
Term
| what does an increase in entropy favor? |
|
Definition
| the spontaneous chemical reaction |
|
|
Term
| what does a decrease in entropy favor? |
|
Definition
| the nonspontaneous reaction |
|
|
Term
| what determines whether a reaction is spontaneous (in terms of entropy changes) |
|
Definition
| the size and direction of enthalpy changes and entropy changes together |
|
|
Term
| (delta G) the maximum amount of energy that can be coupled to another process to do useful work |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| when is the delta G value negative? |
|
Definition
| in spontanteous processes (system loses free energy) |
|
|
Term
| is free energy always efficently used? |
