    • SPONTANEOUS PROCESS occur so as to decrease the energy of the system. This explains why a ball rolls down a hill and also explains why a large number of exothermic reactions are spontaneous.
    • Melting of ice is SPONTANEOUS.
    • Dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is also spontaneous and endothermic.
    • Decomposition of Mercury III aside is an endothermic reaction
      that is nonspontaneous at room temperature and Spontaneous when temperature increases.
    • EXOTHERMICITY focus the spontaneity of a chemical reaction cannot be based solely on the basis of the energy changes in the system.
    • ENTROPY, measure of the randomness or disorder of a system.
    • The great the disorder of the system, the stronger the entropy
    • The more ordered the entropy, the lesser the entropy.
    • ENTROPY is the processes that lead to an increased in entropy of the system; MELTING, VAPORIZATION, DISSOLVING, HEALING.
    • A positive value of ΔS indicates that the process leads to an increase in entropy of the universe.
    • Entropy change (ΔS) = Entropy of products - Entropy of reactants
    • Entropy change of the surroundings (ΔSsurr) = -ΔH/T
    • HYDRATION is the process that leads to a decreased of entropy.
    • UNIT OF ENTROPY; in an isothermal process, the change in entropy is the change in heat divided by the absolute temptemperature.
    • Standard entropy values have been measured in J/k • mole
    • EXOTHERMIC, movement of the heat from the system to the surroundings.
    • ENDOTHERMIC, the system absorbs energy from the surroundings
    • The most stable Carbon is GRAPHITE
    • 1 atm = 760 mmHg and at 25° C
    • DEVICES USED FOR MEASURING PRESSURE: Water Barometer, Mercury Barometer, Aneroid Barometer.
    • Aneroid barometer does not use any liquid or gas as its measuring medium.
    • COMBUSTION PROCESS:
      CH4(g)+CH₄(g) +2O2(g)>CO2(g)+2O₂(g) -> CO₂(g) +2H2O(/)H°= 2H₂O(/) ∆H° =840kJ -840 kJ
    • ACID BASE REACTION:
      H^+ (aq) + OH^-(g) -> H₂O(\) ∆H° = -56.2 kJ
    • ∆H° subscript of F Graphite= 0
      • In state changes, entropy change is given by; ∆S =  S (subscript of f) - S (subscript of i)
    • THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:
      The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in a equilibrium process.
    • FOR A SPONTANEOUS PROCESS:
      Suniv=∆Sᵤₙᵢᵥ =Ssγs+ ∆Sₛᵧₛ +Ssrr>0∆Sₛᵣᵣ > 0
    • FOR A EQUILIBRIUM PROCESS:
      Suniv=∆Sᵤₙᵢᵥ =Ssγs+ ∆Sₛᵧₛ +Ssrr= ∆Sₛᵣᵣ=00
    • ENTHALPY; overall energy of the system
    • ENTHALPY is the sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume.
    • MATTER: occupies space and has mass
    • You cannot determine the internal energy of a substance.
    • Can't determine the Value of U (Internal energy)
    • EQUATION OF ENTHALPY:
      H=H=U+ U +PV PV 
    • Enthalpy
      Sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume
    • Mole
      Grams to weight or the numerically equal of the atomic
    • Exothermic
      Movement of the heat from the system to the surroundings
    • Open System
      The system wherein actually a free or exchange interaction of mass and energy
    • Closed system
      Free exchange between system and the surroundings but there's no exchange of "mass" only energy
    • Equilibrium process
      The balance of all things
