First Law of Thermodynamics • Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. • Therefore, the total energy of the universe is a constant. • Energy can, however, be converted from one form to another or transferred from a system to the surroundings or vice versa. • But there is more going on than just the First Law © 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Spontaneous Processes • Spontaneous processes are those that can proceed without any outside intervention.

Spontaneous Processes • Spontaneous processes are those that can proceed without any outside intervention. • The gas in vessel B will spontaneously effuse into vessel A, but once the gas is in both vessels, it will not spontaneously return to vessel B. © 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Analyze: We are asked to calculate ΔG° for the indicated reaction (given ΔH°, ΔS° and T) and to predict whether the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions at 298 K. Plan: To calculate ΔG°, we use Equation, ΔG° = ΔH° – TΔS°. To determine whether the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions, we look at the sign of ΔG°.
