What are the types of systems?
Types of systems. The exchange of energy between the system and its surroundings usually takes place in the form of heat or work or both. Based upon this, the systems have been classified into three types:
(i) Open system (ii) Closed system (iii) Isolated system.
(i) Open system: A system is said to be an open system if it exchanges the matter (mass) as well as the energy with its surroundings. All chemical reactions carried in open containers constitute the open system. For example,
(a) Combustion of carbon in an open tube.
(b) Tea placed in a cup.
(ii) Closed system: A system is said to be a closed system if the only exchange of energy is possible between system and surroundings and exchange of matter (mass) is not possible. All chemical reactions carried in closed containers constitute closed system e.g.
(a) Decomposition of calcium carbonate in a closed tube.
(b) Tea placed in a tea-pot.
(iii) Isolated system: A system which can neither exchange energy nor matter (mass) with its surroundings is called an isolated system. All chemical reactions carried in a closed container insulated from all sides represent the isolated system. For example.
(a) Neutralisation reaction between NaOH and HCl carried in a thermos flask.
(b) Tea placed in a thermos flask.
(i) State variables : The measurable properties required to describe the state of the system are called state variables. For example temperature, pressure, volume, composition etc. are state variables.
(ii) State functions: A state function is a property of the system whose value depends on only upon the state of the system and is independent of the path or manner by which the state is reached. For example, pressure, volume, temperature, internal energy (E), enthalpy (H), entropy (S) etc. are state functions.
What are homogeneous and heterogeneous systems?
Homogeneous system: A system is said to be homogeneous if all the constituents present are in the same phase and the composition of the system is uniform throughout.
Heterogeneous system: A system is said to be heterogeneous if it consists of two or more phases and its composition is also not uniform.
What do you understand by:
(i) Isothermal process
(ii) Adiabatic process
(iii) Isobaric process
(iv) Isochoric process
(v) Cyclic process?
(i) Isothermal process: A process is said to be isothermal if the temperature of the system remains constant i.e. operation is carried at a constant temperature. For an isothermal process, dT = 0 where dT is the change in temperature.
(ii) Adiabatic process: In an adiabatic process, no heat can flow from the system to the surrounding or vice versa i.e. the system is completely insulated from the surroundings.
(iii) Isobaric process: It is the process during which the pressure of the system is kept constant i.e. dP = 0. The volume may or may not change.
(iv) Isochoric process: It is a process during which the volume of the system is kept constant i.e dV = 0.
(v) Cyclic process. When a system undergoes a series of changes and finally returns to its initial state, it is an example of the cyclic process. In cyclic process dU = 0.

(iii) It is impossible to construct a perpetual motion machine i.e. a machine that can produce work without any expenditure of energy.
(iv) Total energy of a system and its surrounding such as universe remains constant in any physical or chemical process.
What informations are provided by the First law of Thermodynamics?
From the first law, we learn that:

(ii) Whenever one form of energy disappears, an equivalent amount of energy in another form appears.
(iii) Total energy of the universe i.e. energy of the system and surroundings taken together remains constant.
What are the limitations of First law of Thermodynamics?
(i) The first law of thermodynamics does not tell us anything about the extent and direction of the convertibility of one form of energy into another. For example when two bodies which are capable of exchanging heat energy are brought into contact. First law tells only that heat gained by one must be equal to that lost by the other, but it does not tell us which of the two would lose or gain heat energy. It also does not tell us how much heat energy would be transferred from one to the other.
(ii) It provides no information regarding the feasibility of the process.

Mathematical form:
The internal energy of the system can be changed in two ways:
(i) by allowing heat to flow into the system or out of the system,
(ii) by work is done on the system or work done by the system.
Let us consider a system which undergoes a change from one state to another. Let the initial internal energy of the system be U1. Now if a system is supplied q amount of heat, then internal energy of the system increases and becomes U1 + q.
If work (w) is done on the system, then its internal energy further increases and becomes U2. The energy U2 is the energy in the final state.
The above expression is the mathematical form of the first law of thermodynamics. w includes all kinds of work such as pressure-volume work, electrical work etc.

Enthalpy: Enthalpy is the total energy associated with the system and is defined as the sum of internal energy and product of its pressure and volume. It is denoted by H.
Mathematically,
H = U + PV
where U is the internal energy change, P and V are respectively the pressure and volume of the system. H is also called heat content of the system. Enthalpy is a state function and every substance has a definite value of enthalpy in a particular state. The absolute value of enthalpy of a substance cannot be determined, but the change in enthalpy (∆ H) accompanying a process can be determined.
Change in enthalpy (∆H): It may be defined as the difference in the enthalpies of the product and reactant species taking part in a chemical reaction at a constant pressure. For example, if HR represents the enthalpies of the reactants and HP represents the enthalpies of the products, then ∆H = Hp – Hr where ∆H gives the change in enthalpy.
The enthalpy change (∆H) is equal to the heat evolved or absorbed in a chemical reaction at constant pressure and constant temperature,
Under what conditions

When ∆ng = –ve i.e. when there is a decrease in the number of moles of the gaseous components.
when ∆ng = + ve i.e. when the reaction proceeds by an increase in the number of moles of the gaseous components.
(iii) ∆ng = 0 i.e. when the number of moles or the gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of the gaseous products.

(ii) Heat capacity at constant volume: The heat supplied to a system to raise its temperature through 1°C keeping the volume of the system constant is called heat capacity at constant volume.
(iii) Heat capacity at constant pressure: The heat supplied to a system to raise its temperature through 1 °C keeping the external pressure constant is called heat capacity at constant pressure.

Define the terms:
(i) Chemical energetics
(ii) Thermochemistry.
Whenever a chemical reaction occurs, some bonds present between atoms of reacting molecules are rearranged to form products. Energy is required to break bonds while it is released during bond formation. Thus during the rearrangement of bonds in reactants and products, sometimes energy is released and sometimes it is absorbed. Therefore, there is an energy change in chemical reactions.

Explain the origin of enthalpy change in a direction. interest
During the reformation of chemical bonds, when the energy required to break bonds is less than the energy released in the formation of new bonds, the chemical reaction would be exothermic i.e. heat would be evolved. e.g.
Similarly, when the energy required to break bonds is more than the energy released in the formation of new bonds for products, a chemical reaction would be endothermic and ∆H would be positive. For example,
In gaseous phase, the enthalpy change (∆H) of a chemical reaction can be written as
What is standard enthalpy change (∆rH0) of a reaction?
It should be noted that the magnitude of ∆H for a reaction varies with the temperature and therefore for comparison, the values of ∆H for various reactions are expressed at the standard state. A substance is said to be in the standard state when it is present in its most stable state generally at 298K and under I bar pressure.
The standard enthalpy of a reaction is the enthalpy change for a reaction when all the participating substances (elements and compounds) are in their standard states (i.e. at 298K and 1 bar pressure). It is denoted by ∆r H0. For example

Define enthalpy of neutralization.
Explain why enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid and strong base remains the same and the value changes if one of them is weak.
Enthalpy of neutralisation for a strong acid and a strong base is always constant: This is because in dilute solution all strong acids and strong bases are completely ionised. The neutralisation of a strong acid and strong base simply involves the combination of H+ions (from acid) and OH– ions (from base) to form unionised water molecules with the evolution of 57.1 kJ heat.
Since the same reaction takes place during neutralisation of all strong acids and strong bases, the value of enthalpy of neutralisation is constant.
The neutralisation of HCl and NaOH can be represented as:
Cancelling the common ions,
Enthalpy of neutralisation if either acid or base is weak : If one of the acid or bases is weak, then its ionisation is not complete in solution. Therefore, a part of the energy liberated is utilised for the ionisation of a weak acid (or base). Consequently, the value of enthalpy of neutralisation of the weak acid-strong base or strong acid-weak base is numerically less than 57.1 kJ. For example, neutralisation of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide can be represented as:
Thus, enthalpy of neutralisation of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide is –55.2 kJ.
Similarly, in the neutralisation of NH4OH and HCl, 5.6 kJ of heat is used up for the dissociation of weak base i.e. NH4OH. Hence enthalpy of neutralisation, in this case, is –57.1 + 5.6 = –51.5 kJ.

State and explain Hess's law of constant heat summation.
This law states that if a reaction is the sum of two or more constituent reactions, then ∆ H for the overall process must be the sum of all ∆H of the constituent reactions. In brief, the enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or in a series of steps.

What do you mean by bond enthalpy? When is bond enthalpy equal to bond dissociation energy?
Chemical reactions involve the breaking and making of chemical bonds. Energy is required to break a bond and energy is released when a bond is formed. The bond enthalpy is the amount of energy necessary to break bonds in one mole of a gaseous covalent substance to form products in the gaseous state. The bond enthalpy for H2 is 435.0 kJ mol–1.
This endothermic reaction (∆H0 is positive) can be written as,
Bond energy of a diatomic molecule (e.g. H2, Cl2, O2 etc.) is equal to its dissociation energy. The dissociation energy of a bond is defined as the enthalpy change involved in breaking the bond between atoms of a gaseous homonuclear molecule.
Calculation of enthalpy of reaction from bond energies: We know that when a reaction takes place, some bonds are broken while some new bonds are formed. Energy is required to the dissociation of bonds while energy is released when the bonds are formed.
How does bond enthalpy vary with:
(a) size of atoms
(b) electronegativity of atoms?
(a) It decreases with the increase in the size of atoms.
(b) It increases with the increase in the electronegativity of atoms.

Ethane molecule contains one C - C bond and six C - H bonds

What do you mean by calorific value of foods and fuels?
Coal, petroleum, natural gas etc. are regarded as fuels for many machines and industrial purposes. The oxidation or combustion of all these fuels releases energy. This energy is measured in terms of calorific value. It is defined as the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of one gram of the substance (food or fuel) in oxygen. It is generally expressed in kilocalories per gram (k cal g–1) or kJ g–1. The calorific value of fuel or food is measured by bomb calorimeter. Greater the calorific value, better is the fuel.
Food is regarded as fuel for the animal or human body. It has been found that fats and carbohydrates are the main sources of energy which have calorific values of about 9 k cal g–1 and 4 k cal g–1 respectively. Proteins are also the main constituents of our food but have a low calorific value of 4 k cal g–1.
The enthalpies of combustion of methane and ethane are –890.3 and –1559.7 kJ mol–1 respectively. Which of the two has a greater efficiency of the fuel per gram?
The fuel efficiency can be predicted from the amount of heat evolved for every gram of fuel consumed.
(i) Thermochemical equation for the combustion of methane is,
Gram molecular mass of methane
= 12 + 4 X 1 = 16 g
(ii) Thermochemical equation for combustion of ethane is
Gram molecular mass of ethane
= 2 x 12 + 6 x 1 = 30 g
Thus, methane has greater fuel efficiency than ethane.
What are important consequences of lattice enthalpies?
Important consequences of lattice enthalpies:
(i) The greater the lattice enthalpy, more stable is the ionic compound.
(ii) The lattice enthalpy is greater, for ions of higher charge, and smaller radii.
(iii) The lattice enthalpies effect the solubilities of ionic compounds.
In 1919, Born and Haber proposed a method in which lattice enthalpy of an ionic crystal is related to certain thermodynamic parameters. The formation of ionic crystal from its elements by applying different thermochemical quantities is called Born-Haber cycle.
Consider the enthalpy change during the formation of ionic solid MX from its elements M and X.
Formation of ionic solid MX may be done by two different methods:
(A) Indirect method
(B) Direct method
(A) Indirect method:
The various terms are
Since energy is required for the process (endothermic), therefore, is taken as a positive quantity.
Since the process is endothermic, therefore ionisation enthalpy is taken as a positive quantity.
Since the process is exothermic, therefore electron gain enthalpy is taken as negative quantity.
Energy is released in this process i.e. process is exothermic, therefore is always taken as negative quantity.
Direct method: Let be the enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of MX(s) from its constituent species.
where is the enthalpy change for lattice formation from,
The reverse of the above equation is
Thus by using the Born-Haber cycle, one can determine the lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound.
According to Hess’s law, the enthalpy of formation of one mole of ionic solid MX should be the same irrespective of the fact whether it takes place directly in one step (Direct method) or through a number of steps (Indirect method).
How can the lattice enthalpy of an ionic NaCl be determined by using Born-Haber cycle?
Formation of NaCl may be done by two different methods:
(a) Indirect method
(b) Direct method.
(a) Indirect method: Various terms involved are:
Since enthalpy is required for the process (endothermic), therefore is taken as a positive quantity.
(ii)
The process is endothermic, therefore is taken as a positive quantity.
Since the process is endothermic, therefore, ionisation enthalpy is taken as a positive quantity.
Since the process is exothermic, therefore electron gain enthalpy is taken as a negative quantity.
Enthalpy is released in this process i.e. process is exothermic, therefore is always taken as a negative quantity.
(b) Direct method: Let be the enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of NaCl(s) from its constituent species.
According to Hess's law, the enthalpy of formation of one mole of sodium chloride should be the same irrespective of the fact whether it takes place directly in one step.
(Direct method) or through a number of steps (Indirect method).
where is the enthalpy change for lattice formation from
The reverse of the above equation i.e.
defines the lattice enthalpy of NaCl.
Thus by using the Born- Haber cycle, one can determine the lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound.

Electron gain enthalpy of Cl(g) = -355 kJ mol-1
Enthalpy of formation of

Substituting the values we have,
The reverse of the above equation i.e.
Hence the lattice enthalpy of KCl = +719 kJ mol-1

(i) sublimation of lithium is 155.2 kJ mol–1
(ii) dissociation of 1/2 mol of F2is 75.3 kJ
(iii) ionization of lithium is 520 kJ mol–1
(iv) electron gain of 1 mol of F(g) is –333 kJ
(v) ∆f H0 ∆fH0 overall is –795 kJ mol–1
Using Born-Haber cycle to LiF
Substituting the values, we have
The reverse of the above equation i.e.
defines the lattice enthalpy of LiF
Hence lattice enthalpy of LiF = +1212.5 kJ mol-1
Calculate the lattice enthalpy of MgBr2 from the given data. The enthalpy of formation of MgBr2 according to the reaction
Using Born-Haber cycle of MgBr2,
Substituting the values, we have,
= -524 - 148 - 2187 - 31 - 193 - 2 (-331)
= -2421 kJ mol-1
Hence lattice enthalpy =
Spontaneous process. A process which has a natural tendency to take place either by itself or after initiation under a given set of conditions is known as a spontaneous process. For example,
(i) Sugar dissolve in water and forms a solution.
Sugar + water Solution of sugar in water
(ii) In the domestic oven, coal keeps on burning once ignited.
Non-spontaneous process: A process that has no natural tendency or urge to take place is called non-spontaneous process. However, many non-spontaneous processes can also be made to take place by supplying energy continuously from some external sources. For example:
(i) Water can be made to flow uphill by the use of an electric motor pump.
(ii) Electrolysis of water to separate it into pure hydrogen and pure oxygen.
The tendency of a system to acquire a state of maximum randomness is the sole criterion for the spontaneity of a process. Comment.
No, there is a natural tendency of a system to attain a state of the greater randomness i.e. more disordered state. For example,
(i) There is more randomness on mixing of two gases (which do not react chemically).
(ii) Evaporation of water. The evaporation of water results in increase of randomness because the molecules in the vapour state have more randomness than in the liquid state
(iii) Dissolution of ammonium chloride in water. Solid ammonium chloride has less randomness while in solution ammonium chloride particles move freely as and hence randomness increases.
If the randomness factor were the only criterion, then the process like liquefaction of gas or solidification of a liquid would not have been feasible since these were accompanied by a decrease in randomness. Hence the tendency of a system to acquire a state of maximum randomness is not the sole criterion for determining the spontaneity of the process.
The overall tendency of a process to occur can be expressed on the resultant of two tendencies namely:
(i) the tendency to acquire a state of minimum energy, and
(ii) the tendency to acquire a state of maximum randomness or disorder.
The overall tendency of a process to take place by itself is called the driving force.
It should be noted that:
(i) the two tendencies act independent of each other,
(ii) the two tendencies may work in the same direction or opposite direction in a process and
(iii) the driving force is the resultant of the magnitude of the two tendencies. When the two tendencies act in the opposite direction, the tendency with the greater magnitude determines whether the process is feasible or not. For example,
(a) Evaporation of water. Evaporation of water is endothermic, therefore, energy factor opposes the process. But it is favoured by randomness factor.
Since the process is known to take place, randomness factor must be greater than energy factor.
(b) The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water. It is an exothermic reaction, therefore, favours the process, but randomness factor opposes the reaction.
As the reaction takes place, the energy factor must be greater than the randomness factor.
Define entropy and entropy change. What are the units of entropy?
The degree of randomness or disorderliness is expressed by a thermodynamic function called entropy. It may be defined as the property of a system which measures the degree of randomness or disorderliness in the system. It is denoted by S. It is a state function. It depends only on the initial and final state of the system and not on the path followed.
If SA and SB are the entropies at state A and B, then entropy change ∆S is given by
For a chemical reaction,
For a reversible process at equilibrium, the change in entropy may be expressed as,
Where qrev represents the total heat absorbed reversibly and isothermally at temperature T.
What is the physical significance of entropy?
Physical significance: Entropy has been regarded as a measure of disorder or randomness of a system. Thus when a system goes from a more orderly to less orderly state, there is an increase in its randomness and hence entropy of the system increases. Conversely, if the change is one in which there is an increase in orderliness, there is a decrease in entropy. For example, when a solid changes to a liquid, an increase in entropy takes place, because with the breaking of the orderly arrangement of the molecules in the crystal to the less orderly liquid state, the randomness increases. The process of vaporisation produces an increase in randomness in the distribution of molecules, hence an increase in entropy. When two gases are mixed, the molecules of the gases intermix to achieve more randomness.
Thus, this concept of entropy (measure of randomness) has led to the conclusion that all substances in their normal crystalline state at absolute zero temperature would be in the condition of maximum orderly arrangement, because all motion has essentially ceased at ‘0 K.’ In other words, entropy of a substance at 0 K is minimum.
Account for the following:
(i) Why does real crystal have more entropy than an ideal crystal?
(ii) Why the entropy of a pure substance is taken as zero at absolute zero?
(iii) Why the entropy of the universe is continuously increasing?
(i) An ideal crystal has a perfect order of its constituent particles while a real crystal has less order because of some defects. Therefore, a real crystal has more entropy than an ideal crystal.
(ii) Because at 0K, there is a complete order in all the crystals and no randomness, therefore, entropy is taken as zero.
(iii) Because, in the universe, almost all processes are spontaneous and for all spontaneous processes, there is an increase in entropy.
Which of the following reaction will have a greater change in entropy? Explain.
Predict the change in entropy for the system in which the following physical changes occur:
(i) Dissolving cream in a cup of coffee.
(ii) The beating of an egg for an omellete.
(iii) The formation of a rain drop in a cloud.
(iv) The crystallization of a metal alloy from the molten state.

(i) Increases
(ii) Increases

(iv) Decreases
In the following changes, state whether order has increased or decreased and consequently the direction of change of entropy of the system:
(i) The order has increased, entropy decreases in the forward direction.
(ii) The order has decreased, entropy increases in the forward direction.
(iii) The order has increased, entropy decreases in the forward direction.
In the following changes, state whether order has increased or decreased and consequently by the direction of change of entropy of the system:
(i) The order has increased, entropy decreases in the forward direction.
(ii) The order has increased, entropy decreases in the forward direction.
(iii) The order has increased entropy decreases in the forward direction.
(iv) The order has increased, entropy decreases in the forward direction.

For an isolated system, ∆U = 0, what will be ∆S ?
Consider two bulbs each having gas connected by a stop-cock and isolated from the surrounding as an example of an isolated system. On opening the stop cock, the two gases mix up. As a result, more space is available for each gas to move apart i.e. system becomes more disordered. This shows that ∆S > 0 i.e. ∆S is positive.
For the reaction what are the signs of
?
Since the given reaction
represents the formation of bonds, therefore energy is released i.e. ∆H is –ve, further 2 moles of atoms have greater randomness than 1 mole of molecules. Hence randomness decreases, i.e. ∆S is < 0 i.e. negative.
Prove that in a reversible process:
∆(system) + ∆S(surroundings) = 0
Or
Prove that there is no net change in entropy in a reversible process.
Suppose heat is absorbed by the system reversible and the heat is lost by the surroundings also reversibly (process occurs under complete reversible condition).
If qrev is the heat absorbed by the system reversibly, then the heat lost by the surroundings will also be qrev. If the process takes place isothermally at T kelvin, then Entropy change of the system
Entropy change of the surroundings
Hence the total entropy change for the combined system and surroundings will be:
Hence in a reversible process, the net entropy change for the combined system and the surroundings is zero i.e. there is no net change in entropy.
Prove that in an irreversible process:
∆S(system) + ∆S(surroundings) > 0
If any part of the process is irreversible, the process as a whole is irreversible. Suppose the total heat lost by the surrounding is qirrev. This heat is absorbed by the system. However, entropy change of the system is always calculated from the heat absorbed reversibly.
Entropy change of the surroundings is given by
This is because of the large size of the surroundings due to which heat lost (qirrev) by the surroundings can be considered as the heat lost reversibly and isothermally at temperature T.
The total entropy change for the combined system and surroundings is
We know that the work done in a reversible process is the maximum work.
Also, internal energy (U) is a state function, the value of U is same whether the process is carried out reversibly or irreversibly. Hence
From relation (4) and (5), we conclude that
Combining the result with the result given in equation (3),
Thus, in an irreversible process, the entropy change for the combined system and the surroundings i.e. an isolated system is greater than zero i.e. an irreversible process is accompanied by a net increase of entropy.
What do you understand by:
(i) The entropy of fusion?
(ii) The entropy of vapourisation ?
(i) The entropy of fusion. It may be defined as the entropy change when one mole of the solid substance changes into liquid form at its melting point. For example when ice melts as
where ∆Hfusion is the enthalpy of fusion and Tf is the fusion temperature. Since ∆Hfus is +ve, therefore ∆Sjfus is +ve, hence the process of fusion is accompanied by an increase of entropy.
(ii) The entropy of vapourisation. It may be defined as the entropy change when one mole of the liquid changes into vapour at its boiling point.
Since ∆Hvap is +ve, therefore ∆Svap is +ve, hence the process of vapourisation is accompanied by an increase of entropy.
You are given normal boiling points and standard enthalpies of vapourisation. Calculate the entropy of vapourisation of liquids listed below:
Liquid
The thermochemical equation is,
From the above equation, it is clear that when 1 mol of H2O(l) is formed, 286 kJ of heat is released. The same amount of heat is absorbed by the surroundings.
What are the two tendencies which determine the feasibility of process? How are the two related to each other?
The following two tendencies are responsible for determining the feasibility of a process:
(i) The tendency of a system to acquire a state of minimum energy i.e. energy factor. It is expressed in terms of enthalpy change (∆H). A negative value of ∆H suggests that system has the tendency to proceed.
(ii) The tendency of a system to acquire a state of maximum randomness i.e. randomness factor. It is expressed by T∆S where T is the absolute temperature and ∆S is the change in entropy. A positive value of T∆S indicates an inherent tendency of a process to occur.
Relation between two tendencies:
The overall tendency or the driving force of a process is expressed in terms of free energy change (∆G). This is expressed as ∆G = ∆H – T∆S
This equation is called Gibb’s Helmholtz equation. For a spontaneous process, ∆G should have a negative value i.e. the system should undergo a decrease in its free energy.
what is free energy? Prove that ∆G = ∆H – T∆S.
Explain Gibb's Helmholtz equation.
Gibbs-Helmholtz equation is
Significance of
The value of ∆G can be zero, positive or negative.
(i) If ∆G = 0, the reaction is in the state of equilibrium i.e. ∆H = T∆S.
(ii) If ∆G = – ve, the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
(iii) If ∆G = +ve, the reaction is non-spontaneous i.e. reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
(a) If ∆G < 0 i.e. negative, the reaction will be spontaneous. ∆G can be negative if:
(i) Both energy and the entropy factors are favourable and may have any magnitude i.e. ∆H is –ve and T∆S are +ve.
(ii) When energy factor favours (∆H= –ve), but entropy factor opposes (T∆S = –ve), but ∆H ( –ve) > T∆S (–ve).
(iii) When energy factor is not favouring (∆H = +ve) but entropy factor favours (T∆S = +ve). But T∆S (+ve) > ∆H (+ve).
(b) ∆G = 0, the reaction is in an equilibrium state and thus there is no net change in either direction.
This happens when one of the factors is favourable and the other is opposite but they are equal in magnitude.
(c) ∆G > 0 i.e. +ve, the reaction will not be spontaneous, ∆G can be positive if:
(i) both the factors oppose i.e. ∆H is +ve and T∆S is –ve,
(ii) both the factors i.e. ∆H and T∆S have –ve sign and T∆S > ∆H,
(iii) both the factors i.e. ∆H and T∆S have a +ve sign and ∆H > T∆S.
When ∆G is positive, the process is always non-spontaneous. Explain.
∆G can be positive only if;
(i) both the factors oppose i.e. ∆H is +ve and T∆S is –ve,
(ii) both the factors i.e. ∆H and T∆S have a negative sign and T∆S > ∆H,
(iii) both the factors i.e. ∆H and T∆S have a +ve sign and ∆H > T∆S.
Prove that ∆G = –T∆Stotal.
The change in entropy in a process carried out in a non-isolated system is given by
∆Stotal = ∆Ssystem + ∆Ssurroundings ...(1)
Consider an isothermal process carried out at constant pressure in which heat q is transferred by the surroundings to the system.
Substituting this value in (1), we have,
It has been shown that must be positive for a process to be spontaneous. Therefore, equation (2) becomes useful in predicting the spontaneity of a process in terms of ∆G.
What is free energy change? Show that the change in free energy is equal to useful work done.
or
prove that –∆G = w(useful work)
(i) The overall criterion of a process to occur spontaneously i.e. driving force is expressed in terms of free energy change (∆G).
Free energy change (∆G) is related to enthalpy change (∆H) and entropy change (∆S) as ∆G = ∆H – T∆S [Gibbs-Helmoltz equation] For a spontaneous process, ∆G should have negative value.
(ii) According to first law of thermodynamics,
where q is heat absorbed by the system. ∆U is the change in internal energy and w is the work done on the system.
If we are to determine the work a system can do, then w should be taken as – w.
Now w includes expansion as well as non-expansion work.
But work due to expansion at constant temperature is given by P∆V.
wnon-exp is also called useful work because this type of work can be used for useful effect e.g. electrical work.
Substituting this value in (2), we have,
or
This means that decrease in free energy of a system (–∆G) is a measure of the non-expansion or useful work done by the system in a process or –∆G = wuseful work
Predict the enthalpy change, free energy change and entropy change when ammonium chloride is dissolved in water and the solution becomes colder.
(i) Enthalpy change is positive since the solution becomes colder due to intake of heat from the solution.
(ii) Free energy change is negative since the dissolution of ammonium chloride takes place spontaneously.
(iii) Entropy change is positive since more ordered solid ammonium chloride is changed to less ordered solution of ammonium chloride containing larger number of ions

State second law of thermodynamics in different ways.
(i) It is impossible to convert heat completely into an equivalent amount of work without producing some change in some other part of the system.
(ii) All natural and spontaneous processes take place in one direction only and are thermodynamically irreversible.
(iii) It is impossible to convert heat from a reservoir into work by a cyclic process without transferring to a colder reservoir.
(iv) Heat cannot pass itself from a colder to a hotter body.
(v) It is impossible for a self-acting machine, unaided by any external agency, to convey heat from a body at lower temperature to a body at a higher temperature.
State second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy.
All spontaneous processes are accompanied by a net increase of entropy, i.e. for all spontaneous processes, the total entropy change (sum of the entropy changes of the system and the surroundings) is positive.
Since all naturally occurring processes are spontaneous and are accompanied by a net increase of entropy, therefore the second law of thermodynamics may also be stated as: “The entropy of the inverse is continuously increasing and tends to be maximum.
(i) All spontaneous processes (or naturally occurring processes) are thermodynamically irreversible.
(ii) The entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.
(iii) Total energy absorbed by a system cannot be converted completely into work.
Third law of thermodynamics states: “The entropy of all perfectly crystalline solids may be taken as zero at absolute zero.”
Molecular interpretation: Entropy is a measure of disorder. Thus, at absolute zero a perfectly crystalline solid has a perfect order of its constituent particles i.e. there is no disorder at all. Hence absolute entropy is taken as zero.
Application. It helps in the calculation of the absolute entropies of the substances at room temperature (or at any temperature T). A simplified expression for the absolute entropy of solids at temperature T is given by,
where Cp is the heat capacity of the substance at constant pressure.

1/2 C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → 1/2 CO2 (g)
A.
C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → CO (g)
Among the given reactions only in te case of
C (graphite) +1/2 O2 (g) → CO (g)
entropy increases because randomness (disorder) increases. Thus, standard entropy change (ΔSo) is positive.
Moreover, it is a combustion reaction and all the combustion reactions are generally exothermic, ie. ΔHo=-ve
We know that
ΔGo = ΔHo-TΔSo
ΔGo = -ve-T(+ve)

2H2 (g) → 4 H (g); ΔH = 869.6 kJ
H2 (g) → 2 H (g); ΔH = 869.6/2 = 434.8 kJ
The formation of the oxide ion O2- (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below,
Thus, the process of formation of O2- in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O2- is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that
electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving a noble gas configuration
O- ion has comparatively smaller size that oxygen atom
oxygen is more electronegative
the addition of electron in oxygen result in the large size of the ion
A.
electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving a noble gas configuration
Electron repulsion predominates over the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration. Hence, the formation of O2- in the gas phase is unfavourable.

A state function is the property of the system whose value depends only on the initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path.
Therefore,
Internal energy (ΔE) = q +W
It is a state function because it is independent of the path. It is an extensive property.
∴ Gibbs energy (G) = H -TS
It is also a state function because it is independent of the path. It is also extensive property.

For a spontaneous process, ΔG must be negative
PCl5 (g) ⇌ PCl3 (g) Cl2 (g)
In this reaction
Δn = 2-1 = 1
Thus, ΔH is positive, ie, >0
If ΔH is positive, then to maintain the value of ΔG negative, ΔS should be positive , ie, ΔS>0.

C (s) + 2 H2O (g) → 2 H2 (g) + CO2 (g)
PCl5 (g) →PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g)
2CO (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CO2 (g)
A.
H2 (g) + Br2 (g) →2HBr (g)
As we know that
ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
ΔH = ΔE +ΔnRT ..(1)
where ΔH → change in enthalpy of the system (standard heat at constant pressure)
Δ E → change in internal energy of system (Standard heat at constant volume)
Δn → no. of gaseous moles of product - no. of gaseous moles of reactant
R → gas constant
T → absolute temperature
If Δ n = 0 for reactions which is carried out in an open container, therefore, Δn = 0 for reactions which are carried out in an open container, therefore, ΔH =ΔE
so for reaction (1) Δn = 2-2 = 0
Hence, for reaction (1) , ΔH =ΔE

Low temperature and high pressure
Low temperature and low pressure
High temperature and low pressure
High temperature and high pressure
A.
Low temperature and high pressure
On increasing pressure equilibrium shift in a direction where number of moles decreases i.e. forward direction.
On decreasing temperature, equilibrium shift n exothermic direction i.e., forward direction.
So high pressure and lower temperature favour maximum formation of product.
