a) Interpret the natural direction of change (spontaneous change) as the direction of increasing number of ways of sharing energy and therefore of increasing entropy (positive entropy change) Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. The greater the degree of the disorder, the greater the stability of a system. Changes that tend to go naturally are caled spontaneous change. b) Recall that the entropy change in any reaction is made up of the entropy change in the system added to the entropy change in the surroundings, summarised by the expression S total total = S system + S surroundings system surroundings For spontaneous change S is positive. c) Recall the factors affecting the standard entropy of a substance, in particular its physical state, and predict the relative entropies of different substances (qualitative only). d) Calculate the standard entropy change in the system for a stated shemical reaction using standard entropy data. e) Recall the expression S surroundings = - H/ T And use it to calculate entropy changes in the surroundings and, hence, caculate S total total f) Recall that the feasibility of a reaction depends on the balance between S system and S surroundings system surroundings moulsham high school 2
