Spontaneous Processes Thermodynamics vs. Kinetics • In thermodynamics, a spontaneous process is one that proceeds in a given direction without outside intervention. • A nonspontaneous process only occurs for as long as energy is continually added to the system. • examples rusting nails inflating tires exploding balloons! 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O spontaneous 2 H2O 2 H2 + O2 (non-spontaneous) 3 Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e Entropy Thermodynamics • If you flip a coin 4 times, which outcome would you bet on? • Entropy (S) is a measure of the distribution of energy in a system at a specific temperature. all heads all heads 1) HHHT 2) HHTH 3) HTHH 1) HHTT 4) THTH 2) TTHH 5) HTTH 3) HTHT 6) THHT all tails all tails all tails • energy distribution and the arrangement of matter are described by microstates 4 heads 1 out of 16 poss. (1 microstate) 3 heads 4 out of 16 poss. (4 microstates) 2 heads 6 out of 16 poss. (6 microstates) 1 head 4 out of 16 poss. (4 microstates) all tails 1 out of 16 poss. (1 microstate) 4) THHH all heads • The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of the universe increases in any spontaneous process. 1 Entropy and the 2nd Law • In a 4-flip coin toss, you should bet on ½ head/½ tails If you repeat this experiment, you aren’t likely to get the same microstate (HTHT, for example) but you are likely to get one of the equivalent microstates (HTTH, HHTT, TTHH, THTH, etc.) • Think about your room Does it tend towards messy or orderly? Does it always end up in the same mess? Or a different, equivalent mess? • The 2nd Law says processes move toward situations with the most microstates Thermodynamic Entropy • Entropy is also studied on the macroscopic scale • Consider an isothermal process (a process that takes place at a constant temperature). Statistical Entropy • Entropy is related to the number of microstates by the following equation: S = k ln(W) S is entropy W is the number of microstates k is the Boltzmann constant (k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K) • This equation indicates that entropy increases as the number microstates increases. • This is entropy on the microscopic scale Trends (read on your own) • Ssolid < Sliquid << Sgas H2O(g) is 188.8 J/(mol•K) and H2O(l) is 69.9 J/(mol•K) S = qrev/T qrev means the flow of heat as the process is carried out reversibly in very small steps. Suniv = Ssys + Ssurr • Spontaneous processes must result in an increase in the entropy of the universe. (2nd Law of Thermo: Suniv > 0) • Entropy is the currency of the universe; it is the price that is paid for anything to happen Other Trends (read on your own) • Entropy increases as the complexity of molecular structure increases. • CH4 < CH3CH3 < CH3CH2CH3 < CH3(CH2)2CH3 • also high MM > low MM as MM there are more electrons, protons, etc. to store energy Free Energy • Free energy (G) is an indication of the energy available to do useful work. • Free energy change (G) is the change in free energy of a process. For spontaneous processes at a constant temperature and pressure G < 0. Gsys = Hsys TSsys For G you only need to consider the system - not the system + surroundings ! 2 Gsys = Hsys TSsys Prove it! • Since Hsys = qsys (at constant P) = qsurr • and Then Hsys = ( qsurr /T)T = T Ssurr Plug into: Gsys = Hsys TSsys Gsys = T Ssurr TSsys Gsys = T (Ssurr Ssys ) or Gsys = T (Suniverse ) If Suniverse>0, then Gsys <0 (2nd Law!!) Third Law of Thermodynamics • Third Law of Thermodynamics - the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero at absolute zero. S is explicitly known (=0) at 0 K, S values at other temps can be calculated. • Absolute entropy is the entropy change of a substance taken from S = 0 (at T = 0 K) to some other temperature. • Standard molar entropy (So) is the absolute entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state. Calculation of Free Energies for Chemical Reactions (read and practice on your own) G0rxn = nG0f, products - mG0f, reactants The free energy for a chemical reaction indicates the maximum amount of energy that is free to do useful work… only at 298K!! CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) 50.7 2(0) 394.4 2(228.6) kJ/mol kJ/mol kJ/mol kJ/mol Calculating Entropy Changes (read on your own) • Entropy change for a reaction (Srxn) is Srxn = nSoproducts - mSoreactants where n and m are the coefficients of the products and reactants in the balanced equation. CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) 186.3 2(205.1) 213.7 2(188.8) J/K mol J/ K mol J/K mol J/K mol Srxn = nSoproducts - mSoreactants = 5.2 J/K G and temperature (read and practice on your own) • Go can only be used at 25 oC (298K) • Horxn and Sorxn are relatively independent of temperature • So if you need a Grxn at 200 oC, then look up Horxn and Sorxn GTrxn Horxn TSorxn Grxn = Goproducts - Goreactants = 801 kJ 3 G and temperature (read and practice on your own) G and temperature (read and practice on your own) The beauty of GTrxn is that you can now determine whether a reaction is spontaneous at any reasonable temp! 4 CuO(s) 2Cu2O(s) + O2(g) GTrxn 0 when first spontaneous…. Solve: 0 = Horxn TSorxn Horxn / Sorxn For this reaction: Horxn kJ Sorxn J/K (from Appendix) Or: kJ kJ/K) Or conversely, at what temperature a reaction will become spontaneous! Example: 4 CuO 2Cu2O + O2 At what temperature will this reaction become spontaneous? A biochemical use for thermo: • Mammalian metabolism: ATP + H2O ADP + H3PO4 G = 31kJ 36 ADP + 36 H3PO4 + 6 O2 + C6H12O6 36 ATP + 6 CO2 + 42 H2O Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy storage Coupled reactions • Mammalian metabolism: necessary reactions that are non-spontaneous are made spontaneous by “coupling” them with ATP e.g. the production of glutamine, an essential amino acid Bioenergetics The problem: glutamic acid + NH3 glutamine + H2O G = +kJ non-spontaneous But… ATP + H2O ADP + H3PO4 G = 31kJ So, if these two systems were coupled somehow… Bioenergetics glutamic acid + NH3 glutamine + H2O G = +kJ + ATP + H2O ADP + H3PO4 G = 31 kJ G = 17 kJ glutamic acid + ATP + NH3 ADP + H3PO4 + glutamine This coupling is how many biochemical reactions proceed. It happens in the confines of an enzyme or protein. It is an example of Hess’ Law. 4 Gibbs Free Energy • in our oxygen rich atmosphere, many elements are most stable in their highest oxidation state Form PO43P4 G°f (kJ/mol) -1019 -12 Form NO2 N2 G°f (kJ/mol) 51.3 Form SO2 G°f (kJ/mol) -300 0.0 SO3 -371 NO3- -108.7 H2SO4 -745 NO2NH3 -37.2 -16.5 SO42- -745 H2S -33 S8 0.0 5
