Document Summary

2nd law disorder of system + surrounding increase. Cells are highly ordered, proteins are also order: cells are open system so there"s exchange of energy between the cell (system) and the surrounding. This allows the cell to bring in large amount of energy to maintain order: heat increase the disorder of the surrounding. Also spontaneous when its more disordered, when entropy is high. Contributions of enthalpy and entropy: fermentation of glucose to ethanol, c6h1206(s) -> 2c5h5oh (l) + co2 (g, t detla s is 136 kj/mol, e. g. melting of ice. It is spontaneous, it has a delta g of -218 kj/mol. It is exothermic, delta h is 82 kj/mol. This is a endothermic process, delta h is + 95kj/mol. What drives this is massive disorder, it is entropy driven, t delta s = 320 kj/mol. Enzymes: they have massive impact on speeding up the process, it can speed it up about 10^12 .
