Effect of Volume and Temperature Change on the System
• If e iease olue, thee ae oe positios possile fo the oleules. This esults i
more microstates, so increased entropy.
• If e iease tepeatue, the aeage kieti eegy increases. This results in a greater
distribution of molecular speeds. Therefore, there are more possible kinetic energy values,
resulting in more microstates, increasing entropy.
Entropy on the Molecular Scale

the number of independently moving molecules
Entropy and physical states
Entropy increases with the freedom of motion of molecules.
S(g) > S(l) > S(s)
Entropy of a system increases for processes where
gases form from either solids or liquids.
liquids or solutions form from solids.
the number of gas molecules increases
during a chemical reaction.
Third Law of Thermodynamics
• The etopy of a pue ystallie sustae at asolute zeo
is 0.

Standard Entropies
• The efeee fo etopy is  K, so the alues fo eleets ae ot  J/ol K at  K.

Entropy changes
Entropy changes for a reaction can be calculated as follows:
S° = nS°(products) mS°(reactants)
where n and m are the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
Entropy Changes in Surroundings
Heat that flows into or out of the system changes the entropy of the surroundings.

Document Summary

Effect of volume and temperature change on the system: if (cid:449)e i(cid:374)(cid:272)(cid:396)ease (cid:448)olu(cid:373)e, the(cid:396)e a(cid:396)e (cid:373)o(cid:396)e positio(cid:374)s possi(cid:271)le fo(cid:396) the (cid:373)ole(cid:272)ules. This (cid:396)esults i(cid:374) more microstates, so increased entropy: if (cid:449)e i(cid:374)(cid:272)(cid:396)ease te(cid:373)pe(cid:396)atu(cid:396)e, the a(cid:448)e(cid:396)age ki(cid:374)eti(cid:272) e(cid:374)e(cid:396)gy increases. This results in a greater distribution of molecular speeds. Therefore, there are more possible kinetic energy values, resulting in more microstates, increasing entropy. Entropy on the molecular scale: the (cid:374)u(cid:373)(cid:271)e(cid:396) of (cid:373)i(cid:272)(cid:396)ostates a(cid:374)d, the(cid:396)efo(cid:396)e, the entropy tend to increase with increases in. Entropy and physical states: entropy increases with the freedom of motion of molecules, s(g) > s(l) > s(s, entropy of a system increases for processes where. Gases form from either solids or liquids. The number of gas molecules increases during a chemical reaction. Entropy changes for a reaction can be calculated as follows: S = ns (products) ms (reactants) where n and m are the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
