At the end of Chapter 7, we noted some chemical and physical processes that proceeded in a certain direction without external influence, that is, 579 M13_PETR4521_10_SE_C13.QXD 9/17/15 4:31 PM Page 580 580 Chapter 13 Spontaneous Change: Entropy and Gibbs Energy spontaneously (Section 7-10). Among those examples, we saw situations in which the internal energy, U, of the system increased, decreased, or stayed the same. Clearly, the internal energy change, ¢U, is not a reliable criterion for deciding whether or not a particular change will occur spontaneously. In 1850, Clausius introduced the concept of entropy to explain the direction of spontaneous change. Twenty-seven years later Ludwig Boltzmann pro- posed an alternative view of entropy based on probability theory. Not surpris- Sebastian Duda/Fotolia ingly, Clausius’s and Boltzmann’s definitions of entropy were eventually ▲ The melting of an ice cube shown to be equivalent. So what is entropy and why is it important? Simply occurs spontaneously at stated, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. It is an important concept temperatures above 0 °C. because a great deal of experimental evidence supports the notion that energy spontaneously “spreads out” or “disperses” if it is not hindered from doing so. Entropy is the yardstick for measuring the dispersal of energy. In this chapter, we will continue to interpret observations about macro- scopic systems by using a microscopic point of view. We will develop a con- ceptual model for understanding entropy and learn how to evaluate entropy changes for a variety of physical and chemical processes. Most importantly, we will define the criterion for spontaneous change and discover that it con- siders not only the entropy change for the system but also that of the sur- roundings. Finally, we will also learn about another important thermody- namic quantity, called Gibbs energy, which can also be used for understanding the direction of spontaneous change. 13-1 Entropy: Boltzmann’s View We will soon see that the criterion for spontaneous change can be expressed in terms of a thermodynamic quantity called entropy. Let’s first focus our atten- ▲ Spontaneous: “proceeding tion on developing a conceptual model for understanding entropy.

At the macroscopic level, the state of the gas is easily characterized by giving the values of n, T, V, and P. The state of the gas won’t change without some external influence (e.g., by adding more gas, increasing the temperature, compressing the gas). However, on the microscopic level, the state of the system is not so easily characterized: The molecules are in continuous random motion, experiencing collisions with each other or the walls of the container. The positions, velocities, and energies of individual molecules change from one instant to the next. The main point is that for a given macroscopic state, characterized by n, T, P, and V, there are ▲ A simple model for an many possible microscopic configurations (or microstates), each of which ideal gas is obtained by treat- might be characterized by giving the position, velocity, and energy of every ing the gas as a collection of molecule in the gas.

Let’s explore the concept of a microstate by considering a system of five particles confined to a one-dimensional box of length L. (We discussed the model of a particle in a box on page 326.)

Representative n > energy levels, expressed as multiples of h 2/8mL2, are shown in the diagrams in Figure 13-1. Let’s place the five particles among these energy levels with the constraint that the total energy, U, of the system must be 5 * (h2/8mL2). The only possible arrangement (Fig. 13-1a) has all the particles in the n = 1 level. The total energy of this microstate is obtained by adding the particle energies: U = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) * (h2/8mL2) = 5 * (h2 8mL2) > Notice that, for the situation just discussed, the state of the system can be described in two ways.

Rev Mineral Geochem 84 (1):393–459. doi: 10.2138/rmg.2018.84.11 1.0. Introduction Despite its importance in geological sciences, our understanding of interactions between gas and condensed phases (comprising solids and liquids) remains clouded by the fact that, often, only indirect evidence remains for their occurrence. This arises from the tendency for the vapour phase to escape from the condensed phase with which it interacts, owing to its much lower density and thus greater volume. For a gas that is sufficiently tenuous that interactions do not occur between its constituent molecules, this relationship is quantified in the ideal gas law (Clapeyron 1834): 푃푉 = 푛푅푇 (1) where 푃 is the total pressure exerted by the gas, 푉 its volume, 푛 is the number of moles, 푅 the gas constant (8.3145 Jmol-1K-1, Horstmann, 1873) and 푇 the absolute temperature. One mole of an ideal gas at 273.15 K and 105 Pa (standard temperature and pressure for gases)1 has a molar volume of 22,711 cm3/mol, 103 × greater than typical silicate liquids or minerals.

    01-Burrows-Chap01.indd 1 28/12/16 1:20 PM 1 Fundamentals MRSA bacteria can be detected by growing on a dish containing mannitol agar medium. Yellow areas show the presence of MRSA. Making substances: keeping ahead in the fight against bacteria Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are one of the most serious threats to world health. We have become used to the idea that bacterial diseases and infections, like tuberculosis (TB) and septicaemia, can be relatively easily cured with antibiotics, though in Victorian times they would have been deadly. But bacteria are fighting back. New strains of bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have evolved and are threatening hospital patients. MRSA bacteria are present on the skin, nose, and throat of many healthy people where they seem to cause few problems. It is when MRSA gets into the lungs of frail or seriously ill patients that the infections become life-threatening. MRSA is not the only antibiotic-resistant bacterium. In fact, antibiotic resistance is spreading faster than new antibiotics can be introduced. This is a challenge for biomedical science across the world, and chemistry will lead the way in finding the solution. One promising discovery is teixobactin, whose discovery was reported in the journal Nature in 2015. Teixobactin treats many O NH2 common bacterial infections including TB and Clostridium difficile (a diarrhoea-causing bacterium that resists antibiotics). It was O OOH H H H isolated from bacteria found in the soil—the bacteria produce the N N N HN N N antibiotic in order to fight off other bacteria.
