  • Entropy
    Measurement of disorder or randomness
  • Microstates
    Specific arrangements of particle (atoms, ions, and molecules)
  • increase in entropy 

    From highly ordered to More disordered
  • Rudolf Clausius
    He discover that the heat will never travel from colder body to hotter body
  • Law of increased entropy
    Also known as 2nd law of thermodynamics
  • All spontaneous processes lead to an increase of entropy in the universe.
  • The entropy in an isolated system will never decrease over time.
  • Entropy
    Measure of the unavailable energy closed thermodynamics system that is also usually considered to be a measure of system's disorder
  • 2nd law of thermodynamics states that an isolated system's entropy will never decrease overtime
  • Spontaniety
    A property of a process to occur without an external input of energy
  • Two types of Process
    • Spontaneous Process
    • Non-Spontaneous Process
  • Spontaneous Process

    a process where it proceeds without external input
  • Types of Spontaneous process
    • Melting
    • Sublimation
    • Evaporation
    • dissolution
  • Non-spontaneous Process

    This process requires energy/external output to proceed
  • Ludwig Boltzmann (1850)

    He derived the mathematical relationship between entropy and the number of microstates in a system
  • Max Planck
    he writes the boltzmann equation
  • Gibb's Free Energy
    Measure of the available energy in a system to do work
  • Gibb's Available Energy
    The other term for Gibb's Free Energy
  • irreversible reactions

    One way type of reaction
  • Reversible Reactions

    A two way type of reaction
  • Not all reversible reactions are considered to be in a state of equilibrium.
  • When no further change is happening in a reaction, the reaction is in equilibrium.
  • Le Chatelier's Principle
    this principle states that If there is a change in the system, equilibrium will respond to attain a new equilibrium that offsets the effects of such changes.
  • in Le Chatelier's Principle solid and liquid doesn't affect the equilibrium
  • Arrhenius Theory

    this theory describes acid as compound that release hydrogen ions when dissolve to water. this theory also describe bases as hydroxide ions when dissolve in water
  • Bronsted-Lowry Theory
    this theory states that acids are proton donor while bases are proton acceptor
  • Water is also known as Amphiprotic species
  • Amphiprotic
    Can be both acid or bases
  • water can autoionization / self-ionization
  • Buffers
    This is the pH regulators that keep the pH within a narrow range
  • in Le Chatelier's Principle if the temperature goes up the shift is to the left
  • in Le Chatelier's Principle if the temperature goes down the shift is to the right
  • in Le Chatelier's Principle if the product increase the reactant will decrease therefore it is left shift
  • in Le Chatelier's Principle if the reactant increase the product will decrease therefore it is right shift
  • buffer components that can act as “shock absorbers” thus, a drastic change in pH levels is negated.
  • Redox Reaction
    Reduction-oxidation reaction
  • reduction
    gain of electron
  • oxidation
    loss of electron
  • oxidizing agent

    the species doing the oxidation or causing electron loss
  • reducing agent

    The species doing reducing or causing electron gain
