Δ S ° = ν S 298 ° (products) ν S 298 ° (reactants)

Here, ν represents stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation representing the process. For example, Δ S ° for the following reaction at room temperature

m A + n B x C + y D,

is computed as the following:

= [ x S 298 ° ( C ) + y S 298 ° ( D ) ] [ m S 298 ° ( A ) + n S 298 ° ( B ) ]

[link] lists some standard entropies at 298.15 K. You can find additional standard entropies in Appendix G .

Determination of δ S °

Calculate the standard entropy change for the following process:

H 2 O ( g ) H 2 O ( l )

Solution

The value of the standard entropy change at room temperature, Δ S 298 ° , is the difference between the standard entropy of the product, H 2 O( l ), and the standard entropy of the reactant, H 2 O( g ).

Δ S 298 ° = S 298 ° ( H 2 O ( l ) ) S 298 ° ( H 2 O ( g ) ) = ( 70.0 J mol −1 K −1 ) ( 188.8 J mol −1 K −1 ) = −118.8 J mol −1 K −1

The value for Δ S 298 ° is negative, as expected for this phase transition (condensation), which the previous section discussed.

Determination of δ S °

Calculate the standard entropy change for the combustion of methanol, CH 3 OH:

2 CH 3 OH ( l ) + 3 O 2 ( g ) 2 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( l )

Solution

The value of the standard entropy change is equal to the difference between the standard entropies of the products and the entropies of the reactants scaled by their stoichiometric coefficients.

Δ S ° = Δ S 298 ° = ν S 298 ° (products) ν S 298 ° (reactants)
[ 2 S 298 ° ( CO 2 ( g ) ) + 4 S 298 ° ( H 2 O ( l ) ) ] [ 2 S 298 ° ( CH 3 OH ( l ) ) + 3 S 298 ° ( O 2 ( g ) ) ] = { [ 2 ( 213.8 ) + 4 × 70.0 ] [ 2 ( 126.8 ) + 3 ( 205.03 ) ] } = -161.1 J/mol·K

Key concepts and summary

The second law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe, S univ >0. If Δ S univ <0, the process is nonspontaneous, and if Δ S univ = 0, the system is at equilibrium. The third law of thermodynamics establishes the zero for entropy as that of a perfect, pure crystalline solid at 0 K. With only one possible microstate, the entropy is zero. We may compute the standard entropy change for a process by using standard entropy values for the reactants and products involved in the process.

Key equations

  • Δ S ° = Δ S 298 ° = ν S 298 ° (products) ν S 298 ° (reactants)
  • Δ S = q rev T
  • Δ S univ = Δ S sys + Δ S surr
  • Δ S univ = Δ S sys + Δ S surr = Δ S sys + q surr T

By calculating Δ S univ at each temperature, determine if the melting of 1 mole of NaCl( s ) is spontaneous at 500 °C and at 700 °C.
S NaCl ( s ) ° = 72.11 J mol·K S NaCl ( l ) ° = 95.06 J mol·K Δ H fusion ° = 27.95 kJ/mol

What assumptions are made about the thermodynamic information (entropy and enthalpy values) used to solve this problem?

As Δ S univ <0 at each of these temperatures, melting is not spontaneous at either of them. The given values for entropy and enthalpy are for NaCl at 298 K. It is assumed that these do not change significantly at the higher temperatures used in the problem.
