Define the internal energy, enthalpy and entropy |
Energy: Sum of all the energy at the microscopic level (translational, rotational, vibrational, nuclear) Enthalpy: Energy + Work on system i.e. DeltaH = DeltaU + PDeltaV Entropy: Measure of disorder i.e. DeltaS(sys) = Delta |
|
Classify a process as spontaneous or not in terms of the total entropy change of the universe |
Second law of thermodynamics: Change in entropy in the universe must increase for a spontaneous reaction |
|
Explain phase stability in terms of the Gibbs energy |
O |
|
Use a binary phase diagram to determine the following for a given overall composition and temperature: what phases are present, the composition of each phase, the amount of each phase |
O |
|
Contrast the amount of a phase in a system with the composition of that phase |
O |
