1 AP Chemistry Readiness Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Review Page 1 of 15 AP Chemistry Review Session UCLA April 23, 2016 Michael A. Morgan Richard Erdman Larry Walker mmorgan@lausd.net xchemteach@yahoo.com walker@lvusd.org Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School Venice High School (Emeritus) Calabasas High School Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry What is Thermodynamics? Our Guiding Question: Spontaneity The quality or state of being spontaneous (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary) A spontaneous process is one that will proceed on its own without further input from the rest of the universe, one that is thermodynamically stable. Spontaneity has nothing to do with time. What are the three factors that will determine spontaneity? Consider three identical beakers containing identical amount of water and ice. The only difference is the temperature of each beaker What happens spontaneously in each of the three beakers?

2 AP Chemistry Readiness Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Review Page 2 of 15 Entropy An ordered state is not generally going to occur spontaneously. You must do work! Piggy Bank analogy. Disorder favors spontaneity. So we developed a way to measure disorder. Absolute Entropy What is our reference point? What about a negative number? For the three states of matter: Entropy is a State Function! The Second Law of Thermodynamics What happens when you try to clean up your room?

3 AP Chemistry Readiness Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Review Page 3 of 15 General Statement Clausius Statement It is impossible to have a natural process whose sole outcome is the transfer of heat from a colder body to a hotter body. Free Energy Josiah Willard Gibbs When is a reaction spontaneous? Free Energy is a state function. The Gibbs Equation Conditions other then normal. Can an equilibrium constant predict spontaneity? Return of conditions other then normal. What about phase changes?

4 AP Chemistry Readiness Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Review Page 4 of 15 Exothermic Reactions are often spontaneous, but not necessarily. Endothermic Reactions are often non-spontaneous, but not necessarily. What favors a chemical reaction being spontaneous? Do you need to do any work to heat up a Tea Kettle? Do you need to do any work to let a Tea Kettle cool off? Do you have to do work to clean your room? Do you have to do work to let your room get messy? Who is going to do the work? The single most important table in all of chemistry. Enthalpy Entropy Free Energy Best Conditions for Spontaneity

The following phase change at 298 Kelvin: H 2 O(l) H 2 O(g) What are the signs of: ΔG ΔS ΔH Now consider the reverse reaction at 298 Kelvin: H 2 O(g) H 2 O(l) What are the signs of: ΔG ΔS ΔH The following phase change at 298 Kelvin: H 2 O(s) H 2 O(l) What are the signs of: ΔG ΔS ΔH Now what if we changed the temperature: The following phase change at 271 Kelvin: H 2 O(s) H 2 O(l) What are the signs of: ΔG ΔS ΔH

12 AP Chemistry Readiness Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Review Page 12 of 15 Electrolysis of Water What happens when you run electricity through water? There are three reactions that we are concerned with here: 2H 2 O(l) O 2 (g) + 4H + (aq) + 4e E = 1.23V 2H 2 O(l) + 2e H 2 (g) + 2OH (aq) E = 0.83V H 2 (g) 2H + (aq) + 2e E = 0.00 V To make this work we must add some electrolyte (usually H 2 SO 4 ). Why? What does SHE have to say about this? The EMF for this is negative is that cool? Think about the driving forces. What if it were a solution of NaCl instead of water?
