Entropy and Free Energy ( Kotz Ch 20 )
• How can we predict if a reaction can occur, given enough time?
• Note: Thermodynamics DOES NOT say how quickly (or slowly) a reaction will occur.
• To predict if a reaction can occur at a reasonable rate, one needs to consider:
• some processes are spontaneous; others never occur. WHY ?

Product-Favored Reactions
E.g. thermite reaction
Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s)
2 Fe(s) + Al2O3(s)
H = - 848 kJ
In general, product-favored reactions are exothermic.

Non-exothermic spontaneous reactions
But many spontaneous reactions or processes are endothermic . . .

PROBABILITY - predictor of most stable state
WHY DO PROCESSES with H = 0 occur ?
Consider expansion of gases to equal pressure:
This is spontaneous because the final state,with equal # molecules in each flask, is much more probable than the initial state,with all molecules in flask 1, none in flask 2
SYSTEM CHANGES to state of HIGHER PROBABILITYFor entropy-driven reactions - the more RANDOM state.

Standard Entropies, So
• Every substance at a given temperature and in a specific phase has a well-defined Entropy• At 298o the entropy of a substance is called
So - with UNITS of J.K-1.mol-1
• The larger the value of So, the greater the degree of disorder or randomness
e.g. So (in J.K-1mol-1) : Br2 (liq) = 152.2
Br2 (gas) = 245.5
For any process: So = So(final) - So(initial)
So(vap., Br2) = (245.5-152.2) = 93.3 J.K-1mol-1

Consider 2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(liq)
So = 2 So (H2O) - [2 So (H2) + So (O2)]
So = 2 mol (69.9 J/K•mol) - [2 mol (130.7 J/K•mol) + 1 mol (205.3 J/K•mol)]
So = -326.9 J/K
Note that there is a decrease in S because 3 mol of gas give 2 mol of liquid.
Calculating S for a Reaction
So = So (products) - So (reactants)

2. The total entropy of the UNIVERSE ( = system plus surroundings) MUST INCREASE in every spontaneous process.

Standard Gibbs Free Energies, Gof
• Every substance in a specific state has a Gibbs Free Energy, G = H - TS• recall: only H can be measured. Therefore: there is no absolute scale for G• only G values can be determined
• Gof the Gibbs Free Energy of formation (from
elements) is used as the “standard value”
• We set the scale of G to be consistent with that
for H - Gof for elements in standard states = 0

Go < 0 for all SPONTANEOUS processes
Sign of G for Spontaneous processes
STOTAL = Ssystem + Ssurroundings > 0
2nd LAW requirement for SPONTANEITY is :
Multiply by T TSsystem + TSsurroundings > 0
and Ssurroundings = Hosystem/T
Thus TSsystem - Hosystem > 0
Multiply by -1 (->reverse > to <), drop subscript “system”
Ho -TS < 0 and Go = Ho

Go = Ho - TSo
• change in Gibbs free energy =
(total free energy change for system - free energy lost in disordering the system)
• If reaction is exothermic (Ho is -ve) and entropy increases (So is +ve), then
Go must be -ve and reaction CAN proceed.• If reaction is endothermic (Ho is +ve), and entropy decreases (So is -ve), then Go must be +ve; reaction CANNOT proceed.

Calculating Gorxn
EXAMPLE: Combustion of acetylene
C2H2(g) + 5/2 O2(g) 2 CO2(g) + H2O(g)
From standard enthalpies of formation: Horxn = -1238 kJ
From standard molar entropies: Sorxn = - 0.0974 kJ/K
Calculate Gorxnfrom Go = Ho - TSo
Gorxn = -1238 kJ - (298 K)(-0.0974 kJ/K)
= -1209 kJ
Reaction is product-favored in spite of negative So
rxn. Reaction is “enthalpy driven”

Gorxn for NH4NO3(s) NH4NO3(aq)
From tables of thermodynamic data we find
Horxn = +25.7 kJ
Sorxn = +108.7 J/K or +0.1087 kJ/K
Gorxn = +25.7 kJ - (298 K)(+0.1087 kJ/K)
= -6.7 kJ
Reaction is product-favored
. . . in spite of positive Horxn.

Gorxn = Gf
o(CO2) - [Gfo(graph) + Gf
o(O2)]
Gorxn = -394.4 kJ - [ 0 + 0]
Note that free energy of formation of an element in its standard state is 0.
Gorxn = -394.4 kJ

Free Energy and Temperature
2 Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)
Horxn = +467.9 kJ So
rxn = +560.3 J/K
Gorxn = 467.9 kJ - (298K)(0.560kJ/K) = +300.8 kJ
Reaction is reactant-favored at 298 K
At what T does Gorxn just change from (+) to (-)?
i.e. what is T for Gorxn = 0 = Ho
rxn - TSorxn
If Gorxn = 0 then Ho
rxn = TSorxn
so T = Ho/So ~ 468kJ/0.56kJ/K = 836 K or 563oC

Go for COUPLED CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Reduction of iron oxide by CO is an example ofusing TWO reactions coupled to each other in orderto drive a thermodynamically forbidden reaction:
Fe2O3(s) 4 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2(g) Gorxn = +742 kJ
3/2 C(s) + 3/2 O2 (g) 3/2 CO2(g) Gorxn = -592 kJ
with a thermodynamically allowed reaction:
Overall : Fe2O3(s) + 3/2 C(s) 2 Fe(s) + 3/2 CO2(g)
Gorxn= +301 kJ @ 25oC
BUT Gorxn < 0 kJ for T > 563oC

Other examples of coupled reactions:
Copper smelting
Cu2S (s) 2 Cu (s) + S (s) Gorxn= +86.2 kJ
(FORBIDDEN) Couple this with:S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (s) Go
rxn= -300.1 kJ
Overall: Cu2S (s) + O2 (g) 2 Cu (s) + SO2 (s)
Gorxn= +86.2 kJ + -300.1 kJ = -213.9 kJ (ALLOWED)
Coupled reactions VERY COMMON in Biochemistry :e.g. all bio-synthesis driven by
ATP ADP for which Horxn = -20 kJ
Sorxn = +34 J/K
Gorxn = -30 kJ @ 37oC

Thermodynamics and Keq
• Keq is related to reaction favorability.
• If Gorxn < 0, reaction is product-favored.
• Gorxn is the change in free energy as reactants
convert completely to products.
• But systems often reach a state of equilibrium in which reactants have not converted completely to products.
• How to describe thermodynamically ?

Grxn versus Gorxn
Under any condition of a reacting system, we can define Grxn in terms of the REACTION QUOTIENT, Q
Grxn = Gorxn + RT ln Q
At equilibrium, Grxn = 0. Also, Q = K. Thus
If Grxn < 0 then reaction proceeds to rightIf Grxn > 0 then reaction proceeds to left
Gorxn = - RT lnK
