Change in Entropy of Reaction System Δ r S o   =   Σ n   S o ( P )   Σ n   S o ( R )   Δr: Entropy change for reaction at STP
ΣnS°: Sum of entropy at STP
P and R : Products and Reactants
Change in Universe Δ   S o   =   Δ   S o ( S )   +   Δ   S o ( E )   ΔS°: Entropy change for universe at STP
ΔS°: Change in entropy at STP
S and E : System and Environment (surroundings)
Reaction TypeΔH°(system)ΔS°(systemSpontaneous at STP?
1 Exothermic, < 0 Positive, > 0 Spontaneous at all T
ΔS°(universe) > 0
2 Exothermic, < 0 Negative, < 0 Spontaneous at low temperatures; depends on ΔH and ΔS
3 Endothermic, > 0 Positive, > 0 Spontaneous at high temperatures; depends on ΔH and ΔS
4 Endothermic, > 0 Negative, < 0 Not Spontaneous at any temperature

Videos for Chapter 18: Principles of Chemical Reactivity: Entropy and Free Energy

Review the Videos at Thinkwell Video Lessons.

  • Under "THERMODYNAMICS"
    • Entropy
      • Entropy and Temperature
    • Using Free Energy
      • Enthalpy and Entropy Contributions to K

Use the instructions at Investigating Entropy in Chemical Reactions from SciencebySimulation and the linked ChemReaX simulator to conduct the exothermic virtual reaction. How does changing temperature affect free energy changes? How does changing temperature affect entropy changes?
