CHEM1101 - Resources for Week 11
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Entropy
explain the thermodynamic concept of spontaneity define entropy as the tendency of energy to spread out in a spontaneous process predict the relative entropy of solids, liquids and gases and how entropy is affected by temperature, molecular size and complexity define and use the Second Law of Thermodynamics relate the entropy change of the universe to the Gibbs free energy use Gibbs free energy to predict spontaneous and non-spontaneous processes
Equilibrium
explain what reactions are spontaneous and under what conditions explain the dynamic nature of equilibrium processes write the equilibrium constant for any reaction or process use initial, change, equilibrium (ICE) tables calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for a reverse reaction from its value for a forward reaction, and if the stoichiometry is changed calculate the equilibrium constant for a reaction obtained by combining two other reactions explain the difference between the equilibrium constant, K , and the reaction quotient, Q write down the reaction quotient and use it to predict the direction of change use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the response of a system at equilibrium to changes in temperature, pressure and composition explain how catalysts effect chemical reactions without changing the equilibrium concentrations relate the equilibrium constant, K , to the change in the Gibbs free energy
Equilibrium and Thermochemistry in Industrial Processes
explain the main processes used industrially to extract metals from their ores use Ellingham diagrams to predict which metals can be extracted using coke at different temperatures discuss the role of the chemical industry in the modern world and Australia with particular regard to the Top Ten chemicals outline the thermodynamic principles behind the industrially optimized routes to sulfuric acid and ammonia
