Which single criterion allows you to determine whether a process is spontaneous?
- A.
The sign of the equilibrium constant, K.
- B.
The sign of the enthalpy change, ΔH.
- C.
The sign of the entropy change, ΔS.
- D.
The sign of the free energy change, ΔG.
- E.
There is no single criterion that allows you to determine if a process is spontaneous.
Homework Answers
D) The sign of the free energy change , 
G.
Gibbs free energy change is negative, then the process is spontaneous.
If the change in Gibbs free energy is positive, then the process is non spontaneous.
If the change in Gibbs free energy is equal to zero, then the process is in equilibrium condition.

A process at constant T and P can be described as spontaneous if ΔG < 0 and nonspontaneous if ΔG > 0. Over what range of temperatures is the following process spontaneous? Assume that gases are at a pressure of 1 atm. (Hint: Use the data below to calculate ΔH and ΔS [assumed independent of temperature and equal to ΔH° and ΔS°, respectively] and then use the definition of ΔG.)

Entropy (S) The second factor involved in determining whether or not a process is spontaneous is the change in randomness or entropy (AS). Entropy is represented by the symbol S. Again, experience can help us understand the relationship between entropy and spontaneous processes. If we look at the two drawings below, we can predict which picture represents the stack of marbles "before" and after they are bumped. We expect the stack of marbles (less random, lower entropy) to be the...

Chemical energy is released or absorbed from reactions in various forms. The most easily measurable form of energy comes in the form of heat, or enthalpy. The enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated from the heats of formation of the substances involved in the reaction: ΔH∘rxn=ΔH∘f(products)−ΔH∘f(reactants) Entropy change, ΔS∘, is a measure of the number of energetically equivalent microstates introduced into the system during the reaction. The degree of spontaneity of a reaction is represented by the Gibbs free...

A reaction has a ΔH°= 204.6 kJ and a ΔS°= -19.5 J/K. a. Given the sign and magnitude of ΔH and ΔS, will the reaction be spontaneous at all temperatures, nonspontaneous at all temperatures? Briefly explain your reasoning. b. Calculate the standard free energy change for the reaction at 298 K. c. Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous at 298 K?
