Name: Period: Date: UNIT 10: Energy Lesson 1: Entropy vs. Enthalpy By the end of today, you will have an answer to: What conditions are favored during reactions? Definition Enthalpy is another word for heat. A change in enthalpy = ΔH. Examples: If a reaction is exothermic, enthalpy is decreasing because ΔH is negative. If a reaction is endothermic, enthalpy is increasing because ΔH is positive. Fill out the following table: Exothermic Reactions Br + Br Br2 Endothermic Reactions Br2 Br + Br Potential Energy Diagram Energy: released or absorbed Bonds forming or Bonds breaking? Lower enthalpy or higher enthalpy? Products more or less stable?
Read the following passage and answer the appropriate annotation questions. Another expression for ΔH: The difference between the Potential Energy of the products and Potential Energy of the reactants is known as the heat of the reaction or ΔH. The heat content (H) is known as the enthalpy of a system. Therefore a change in enthalpy is another way of saying ΔH! Endothermic reactions: If the change in enthalpy is positive, the reaction is endothermic. In an endothermic reaction, heat is listed as a reactant. An example is found below. 2NaHCO 3(s) + 129 kj Na 2CO 3(s) + H 2O(g) + CO 2(g) ΔH = +129 kj Exothermic reactions: If the change in enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic. In an exothermic reaction, heat is listed as a product. An example is found below. CaO(s) + H 2O(l) Ca(OH) 2(s) + 65.2 kj ΔH = -65.2 kj All reactions tend to form bonds to achieve a state of lower energy. Exothermic reactions create products with lower energy. The Universe favors exothermic reactions over endothermic reactions. One more important factor: how random can you be? Exothermic reactions may be favored, but endothermic reactions still take place. There is one more factor that determines if a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously (without adding extra energy). Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. It is also known as the randomness of the system. The Universe tends to increase the entropy or randomness of a system. Think about your backpack or bedroom. Over time without effort, your bag or room become more disordered and. Only continual energy can help maintain order. Entropy can be examined through states of matter. Solids have the most structure and least entropy. Liquids have more entropy than solids. Gases have the highest entropy. This picture clearly shows gases are most random; solids are least random. When a solid dissolves in water, its particles are spread out. Therefore aqueous solutions have higher entropy than solid particles. When a gas dissolves in water, its particles become less spread out. Therefore aqueous solutions have lower entropy than gas particles. 1) Describe a new way to say heat of the reaction or ΔH. 2) Describe three differences between a positive change in enthalpy and a negative change in enthalpy. 3) Which type of reaction does the Universe favor? Why? 1) In your own words describe entropy. 2) What naturally happens to entropy in a system? Explain. 3) Describe entropy changes from a solid to liquid to gas. 4) How does entropy change when a solid is dissolved in water? 5) How does entropy change when a gas is dissolved in water?
Putting it together: Enthalpy and Entropy and phase changes As you melt a solid and boil a liquid the enthalpy increases. As you melt a solid and boil a liquid the entropy increases. Work hard. Be nice. 1) Why does the enthalpy increase as a substance is heated from a solid to a liquid to a gas? 2) Why does the entropy increase as a substance is heated from a solid to a liquid to a gas? Practice: Enthalpy increase or decreases: Reaction/ Process Melting of ice Freezing of water Evaporation of water Exothermic or Endothermic? Increase or decrease in enthalpy? Practice: Entropy increase or decrease Process/ Reaction Ice melting Organizing your chem notebook Sublimation (when solid turns directly into gas) Deposition (when gas turns directly into solid) Increase or decrease in entropy?
