0th Law of Thermodynamics
|
Two bodies in equilibrium with the same system are in thermal equilibrium with each other
|
|
1st Law of Thermodynamics
|
The energy of an isolated system is conserved for any reaction
ΔE = q + w |
|
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
|
The entropy of the universe increases for any reaction

|
Internal energy
|
All possible forms of energy on a molecular scale
|
|
Average kinetic energy of a single molecule in any fluid
|
KE = 3/2(kT)
|
|
Enthalpy
|
Sum of its internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV (constant pressure) |
|
Heat of reaction
|
The change in enthalpy from reactants to products
ΔH⁰ (reaction) = ΔHf⁰ (products) - ΔHf⁰ (reactants) ⁰ = Standard state conditions |
|
Entropy (S)
|
For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system. ΔS (system) + ΔS (surroundings) = ΔS (universe) ≥ 0 |
|
What dictates the direction of a reaction
|
Entropy
|
|
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
|
Free energy is a measure of the capacity of the system to do work. If its value is negative, the system will have a tendency to do work spontaneously, as in an exothermic chemical reaction.
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS |
