G = Gibbs Free Energy H = Enthalpy (Heat Content) T = Temperature in Kelvins S = Entropy (Can Think of As Randomness) Gibbs Free Energy Gibbs Free Energy Gibbs free energy is a measure of chemical energy All chemical systems tend naturally toward states of minimum Gibbs free energy G = H - TS Where: G = Gibbs Free Energy H = Enthalpy (heat content) T = Temperature in Kelvins S = Entropy (can think of as randomness) Gibbs Free Energy • Products and reactants are in equilibrium when their Gibbs free energies are equal • A chemical reaction will proceed in the direction of lower Gibbs free energy (i.e., ΔGr < 0) …so the reaction won’t proceed if the reaction produces an increase in Gibbs free energy Gibbs Free Energy ΔG°r = ΣnG°f (products) - ΣnG°f (reactants) ΔG°r > 0, backwards reaction with deficient energy ΔG°r < 0, forwards reaction with excess energy ΔG°r = 0, reaction is in equilibrium ΔG°r is a measure of the driving force o ΔG f = free energy of formation Thermodynamics For a phase we can determine V, T, P, etc., but not G or H We can only determine changes in G or H as we change some other parameters of the system Example: measure ΔH for a reaction by calorimetry - the heat given off or absorbed as a reaction proceeds Arbitrary reference state and assign an equally arbitrary value of H to it: Choose 298.15 K/25°C and 0.1 MPa/1 atm/1 bar (lab conditions) ...and assign H = 0 for pure elements (in their natural state - gas, liquid, solid) at that reference Thermodynamics In our calorimeter we can then determine ΔH for the reaction: Si (metal) + O2 (gas) = SiO2 ΔH = -910,648 J/mol = molar enthalpy of formation of quartz (at 25°C, 1 atm) It serves quite well for a standard value of H for the phase Entropy has a more universal reference state: entropy of every substance = 0 at 0K, so we use that (and adjust for temperature) Then we can use G = H - TS to determine G for quartz = -856,288 J/mol Thermodynamics o ΔGR = −RT ln K K=equilibrium constant at standard T T in kelvin 298.18K R=gas constant=1.987 cal/molo o ΔGR = −1.364log K o −ΔGR K =10 1.364 o Example: What is the ΔG R of calcite dissociation? 2+ 2- CaCO3 Ca + CO3 o Use data in appendix B for ΔG f o ΔG R = [(-132.3)+(-126.17)] - [(-269.9)] = +11.43 kcal (+) means that the reaction goes from right to left so K must be small What is the value of K? o −ΔGR K =10 1.364 K = 10(-11.43/1.364) = 10-8.3798 = 4.171 x 10-9 What if T ≠ 25oC?

  • Chemistry 130 Gibbs Free Energy
    Chemistry 130 Gibbs Free Energy Dr. John F. C. Turner 409 Buehler Hall [email protected] Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy So far in chemistry 130, and in Chemistry 120, we have described chemical reactions thermodynamically by using U - the change in internal energy, U, which involves heat transferring in or out of the system only or H - the change in enthalpy, H, which involves heat transfers in and out of the system as well as changes in work. U applies at constant volume, where as H applies at constant pressure. Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy When chemical systems change, either physically through melting, evaporation, freezing or some other physical process variables (V, P, T) or chemically by reaction variables (ni) they move to a point of equilibrium by either exothermic or endothermic processes. Characterizing the change as exothermic or endothermic does not tell us whether the change is spontaneous or not. Both endothermic and exothermic processes are seen to occur spontaneously. Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy Our descriptions of reactions and other chemical changes are on the basis of exothermicity or endothermicity ± whether H is negative or positive H is negative ± exothermic H is positive ± endothermic As a description of changes in heat content and work, these are adequate but they do not describe whether a process is spontaneous or not. There are endothermic processes that are spontaneous ± evaporation of water, the dissolution of ammonium chloride in water, the melting of ice and so on. We need a thermodynamic description of spontaneous processes in order to fully describe a chemical system Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy A spontaneous process is one that takes place without any influence external to the system.

  • Lecture 13. Thermodynamic Potentials (Ch
    Lecture 13. Thermodynamic Potentials (Ch. 5) So far, we have been using the total internal energy U and, sometimes, the enthalpy H to characterize various macroscopic systems. These functions are called the thermodynamic potentials: all the thermodynamic properties of the system can be found by taking partial derivatives of the TP. For each TP, a set of so-called “natural variables” exists: −= + μ NddVPSdTUd = + + μ NddPVSdTHd Today we’ll introduce the other two thermodynamic potentials: theHelmhotzfree energy F and Gibbs free energy G. Depending on the type of a process, one of these four thermodynamic potentials provides the most convenient description (and is tabulated). All four functions have units of energy. When considering different types of Potential Variables processes, we will be interested in two main U (S,V,N) S, V, N issues: H (S,P,N) S, P, N what determines the stability of a system and how the system evolves towards an F (T,V,N) V, T, N equilibrium; G (T,P,N) P, T, N how much work can be extracted from a system.

  • Thermodynamic Potentials and Thermodynamic Relations In
    arXiv:1004.0337 Thermodynamic potentials and Thermodynamic Relations in Nonextensive Thermodynamics Guo Lina, Du Jiulin Department of Physics, School of Science, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China Abstract The generalized Gibbs free energy and enthalpy is derived in the framework of nonextensive thermodynamics by using the so-called physical temperature and the physical pressure. Some thermodynamical relations are studied by considering the difference between the physical temperature and the inverse of Lagrange multiplier. The thermodynamical relation between the heat capacities at a constant volume and at a constant pressure is obtained using the generalized thermodynamical potential, which is found to be different from the traditional one in Gibbs thermodynamics. But, the expressions for the heat capacities using the generalized thermodynamical potentials are unchanged. PACS: 05.70.-a; 05.20.-y; 05.90.+m Keywords: Nonextensive thermodynamics; The generalized thermodynamical relations 1. Introduction In the traditional thermodynamics, there are several fundamental thermodynamic potentials, such as internal energy U , Helmholtz free energy F , enthalpy H , Gibbs free energyG . Each of them is a function of temperature T , pressure P and volume V . They and their thermodynamical relations constitute the basis of classical thermodynamics. Recently, nonextensive thermo-statitstics has attracted significent interests and has obtained wide applications to so many interesting fields, such as astrophysics [2, 1 3], real gases [4], plasma [5], nuclear reactions [6] and so on. Especially, one has been studying the problems whether the thermodynamic potentials and their thermo- dynamic relations in nonextensive thermodynamics are the same as those in the classical thermodynamics [7, 8]. In this paper, under the framework of nonextensive thermodynamics, we study the generalized Gibbs free energy Gq in section 2, the heat capacity at constant volume CVq and heat capacity at constant pressure CPq in section 3, and the generalized enthalpy H q in Sec.4.

All chemical processes require energy (activation energy) to take place, but once a spontaneous process has begun, no further input of energy is needed. A nonspontaneous change occurs only if the surroundings continuously supply energy to the system. If a change is spontaneous in one direction, it will be nonspontaneous in the reverse direction. 20-4 The First Law of Thermodynamics Does Not Predict Spontaneous Change Energy is conserved. It is neither created nor destroyed, but is transferred in the form of heat and/or work. DE = q + w The total energy of the universe is constant: DEsys = -DEsurr or DEsys + DEsurr = DEuniv = 0 The law of conservation of energy applies to all changes, and does not allow us to predict the direction of a spontaneous change. 20-5 DH Does Not Predict Spontaneous Change A spontaneous change may be exothermic or endothermic. Spontaneous exothermic processes include: • freezing and condensation at low temperatures, • combustion reactions, • oxidation of iron and other metals.

  • Increasing Temperature Increases Disorder, Because the Entropy Dominates the Free Energy at High Temperatures, Whereas Enthalpy Dominates at Low Temperatures
    Increasing temperature increases disorder, because the entropy dominates the free energy at high temperatures, whereas enthalpy dominates at low temperatures. That is, in the expression ΔG = ΔH TΔS, − the entropy term (TΔS) becomes more important (either for ΔS positive or ΔS negative) as T increases; hence at high temperatures the system will become more disordered to increase its entropy, even at the cost of increasing enthalpy. 3. The difference between the energy and enthalpy changes in expanding an ideal gas. How much heat is required to cause the quasi-static isothermal expansion of one mole of an ideal gas at T = 500 K from PA =0.42 atm, VA = 100 liters to PB =0.15 atm? (a) What is VB? (b) What is ΔU for this process? (c) What is ΔH for this process? (a) For an ideal gas, in any isothermal process ΔU = 0.
