Second Law of Thermodynamics |
The principle that the total entropy of the universe increases in any spontaneous process |
|
|
Entropy (S) |
A measure of how dispersed the energy in a system is at a specific temperature |
|
|
Third Law of Thermodynamics |
The principle that the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero at absolute zero |
|
|
Standard Molar Entropy (S°) |
The absolute entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state |
|
|
Reversible Process |
A process that happens so slowly that an incremental change can be reversed by another tiny change, restoring the original state of the system with no net flow of energy between the system and its surroundings |
|
|
Free Energy |
A measure of the maximum amount of work a thermodynamic system can perform |
|
|
Gibbs Free Energy (G) |
The maximum amount of energy released by a process occurring at constant temperature and pressure that is available to do useful work |
|
|
Standard Free Energy of Formation (G°f) |
The change in free energy associated with the formation of 1 mole of a compound in its standard state from its elements in their standard states |
|
|
Glycolysis |
A series of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate; a major anaerobic (no oxygen required) pathway for the metabolism of glucose in the cells of almost all living organisms |
|
|
Phosphorylation |
A reaction resulting in the addition of a phosphate group to an organic molecules |
