4.3 Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy

How can enthalpy and entropy be used to explain reaction spontaneity?

Inquiry Question

Overview

  • Analyse the differences between entropy and enthalpy
  • Use modelling to illustrate entropy changes in reactions
  • Predict entropy changes from balanced chemical reactions to classify as increasing or decreasing entropy
  • Explain reaction spontaneity using terminology, including:
    • Gibbs free energy
    • Enthalpy
    • Entropy
  • Solve problems using standard references and \Delta G\degree = \Delta H\degree - T\Delta S\degree (Gibbs free energy formula) to classify reactions as spontaneous or nonspontaneous
  • Predict the effect of temperature changes on spontaneity
