Learning Objectives To get an overview of Gibbs energy and its general uses in chemistry. Understand how Gibbs energy pertains to reactions properties Understand how Gibbs energy pertains to equilibria properties Understand how Gibbs energy pertains to electrochemical properties. Gibbs Energy in Reactions Spontaneous - is a reaction that is consider to be natural because it is a reaction that occurs by itself without any external action towards it.
Exercise 1. Standard-State Free Energy of Formation The partial pressure of any gas involved in the reaction is 0. The concentrations of all aqueous solutions are 1 M. Example 1. Table 1. By "useful", we mean work other than that which is associated with the expansion of the system. This is most commonly in the form of electrical work moving electric charge through a potential difference , but other forms of work osmotic work, increase in surface area are also possible.
Standard Free Energy Change, D G o —the standard free energy change, D G o can be calculated 1 by substituting standard enthalpies and entropies of reaction and a Kelvin temperature into the Gibbs equation or 2 by combining standard free energies of formation through the expression. Enthalpy change. Entropy change. Gibbs free energy. At what temperature will the reaction above become spontaneous? The fact that both terms are negative means that the Gibbs free energy equation is balanced and temperature dependent:.
Thus the entropic change for the reaction as written i. To go to the left, we have to overcome this attractive force input heat energy and the left direction is unfavorable with regard to heat energy q. This reaction as written, is therefore, enthalpically favorable and entropically unfavorable.
Hence, It is enthalpically driven. Looking at the same process from an opposite direction:. This reaction as written, is entropically favorable , and enthalpically unfavorable; it is entropically driven. The change in Gibbs energy is equal to the maximum amount of work that a system can perform on the surroundings while undergoing a spontaneous change at constant temperature and pressure :. We can rearrange this equation as follows:.
Only if the process occurs infinitely slowly in a perfectly reversible manner will the entropy of the universe be unchanged. Because no real system is perfectly reversible, the entropy of the universe increases during all processes that produce energy.
One of the major challenges facing engineers is to maximize the efficiency of converting stored energy to useful work or converting one form of energy to another. Because enthalpy is one of the components of Gibbs free energy, we are consequently unable to measure absolute free energies; we can measure only changes in free energy.
Is the reaction spontaneous as written? By definition, the standard free energy of formation of an element in its standard state is zero at These tabulated values give us the change in Gibbs free energy when product in its standard state is formed from its elements, also in their standard states.
Note that both values are consistent since there is uncertainty in the value of the digit after the decimal point. This tells us that when 1 mole of liquid water at The balanced chemical equation for the formation of 1 mole of liquid water from its elements in their standard states is shown below:.
What if I decompose liquid water into its elements: hydrogen gas H 2 g and oxygen gas O 2 g? But what if I form 10 moles of liquid water instead of 1 mole? Surely 10 times more "free" energy will be released to do work on the surroundings?
Consider a chemical reaction in which ammonia gas reacts with hydrogen chloride gas to produce solid ammonium chloride at So we could write a chemical equation to represent the formation of each compound as shown below:. Next we added that result to the Gibbs free energy of formation of the product.
