Laws of Thermodynamics

Groups:

(a) 1st Law

,

(b) 2nd Law

• energy can change forms but the total amount remains the same

• energy transformations do not create or eliminate energy

• the second law of thermodynamics states that natural processes tend to move towards a state of disorder
• the first law of thermodynamics

• the entropy of the universe tends to increase
• the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease
• heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body
• it is impossible to convert all the energy in a system into work
• energy cannot be created or destroyed

• in any energy transfer, there will always be some energy that is lost as heat
• the efficiency of a heat engine is always less than 100%
• in a closed system, energy is conserved

• energy transformations are not 100% efficient
• the principle of conservation of energy

• work done on a system results in a change in energy

• the total energy of an isolated system remains constant

Match each portion of the Gibbs Free Energy equation to its descriptions
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Groups:

(a) ΔG

,

(b) ΔH

,

(c) ΔS

,

(d) T

• Kelvin

• Positive ΔS indicates an increase in disorder

• Negative value indicates a spontaneous reaction

• Gibbs free energy change during a reaction

• Third law of thermodynamics states that entropy approaches zero as temperature approaches absolute zero

• Positive value indicates a nonspontaneous reaction

• C + 273

• Heat content of a system

• H(products) - H(reactants)

• portion of system’s E that can perform work (at a constant T)

• Enthalpy

• Measured at constant pressure

• Measure of disorder or randomness in a system

• Entropy increases in spontaneous processes

• Entropy

• Used to predict equilibrium position
