Essential ideas
- The concept of the energy change in a single step reaction being equivalent to the summation of smaller steps can be applied to changes involving ionic compounds.
- A reaction is spontaneous if the overall transformation leads to an increase in total entropy (system plus surroundings). The direction of spontaneous change always increases the total entropy of the universe at the expense of energy available to do useful work. This is known as the second law of thermodynamics.

15.2 Entropy
Understandings: Entropy (S) refers to the distribution of available energy among the particles. The more ways the energy can be distributed the higher the entropy. Entropy of gas>liquid>solid under same conditions. Application and skills: Prediction of whether a change will result in an increase or decrease in entropy by considering the states of the reactants and products. |

15.2 Entropy and spontaneity
Essential idea: A reaction is spontaneous if the overall transformation leads to an increase in total entropy (system plus surroundings). The direction of spontaneous change always increases the total entropy of the universe at the expense of energy available to do useful work. This is known as the second law of thermodynamics. |

15.2 /17.1 ΔG and equilibrium
|
|
Understandings:
The position of equilibrium corresponds to a maximum value of entropy and a minimum in the value of the Gibbs free energy. The Gibbs free energy change of a reaction and the equilibrium constant can both be used to measure the position of an equilibrium reaction and are related by the equation, ∆G = −RT lnk Applications and skills: Relationship between ∆G and the equilibrium constant. Calculations using the equation ∆G = −RT lnk |
