Document Summary

The law of conservation of energy - the total energy of the universe is constant and cannot be made or destroyed. Entropy refers to the state of order of a system. Standard molar entropy (s ): the entropy per mole of a pure substance while in its standard state (1 atm (gas), 1 m (solution), or pure substance). The more disordered a system is, the higher its entropy. Standard entropy, enthalpy, and gibbs free energy of formation can all be used to determine the reaction spontaneity under conditions of 298k, 1 atm, and 1 mole. Hf of an element in its standard state are zero, at all temperatures. So increases as the temperature rises: one way to think of this - as temp increases, the mean velocity of molecules increases. Hence more possible positions the molecules can be after the next time interval hence more microstates (s = k ln w)
