Free Energies and Entropies

In the very recent past, it has become possible under certain circumstances to observe single molecules in the laboratory. Nevertheless, the vast majority of chemical research concerns itself not with individual molecules, but instead witli macroscopic quantities of matter that are made up of unimaginably large numbers of molecules. The behavior of such ensembles of molecules is governed by the empirically determined laws of thermodynamics, and most chemical reactions and many chemical properties are defined in tenns of some of tlie fundamental variables of thermodynamics, such as enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and others.

A) An ice cube is placed in a flask at room temperature and allowed to sit until the temperature of the water in the flask has reached room temperature. Describe the changes in enthalpy, entropy free energy, and temperature that occur during the time interval. 

AE is sometimes called the internal latent heat, k I is equal to AH. The increases of entropy, free energy, and available energy, are ... 

The chapter will assume a knowledge of basic thermodynamics, including the meaning of the terms equilibrium constant, enthalpy, entropy, free energy and electrode potential, and the relationships between them. 

Melting and sublimation temperatures, internal energy (i.e., structural energy), enthalpy (i.e., heat content), heat capacity, entropy, free energy and chemical potential, thermodynamic activity, vapor pressure, solubility... 

Extensive tables of entropies, free energies, and heats of formation are to be found in Chap. 25 of the Hougen, Watson and Ragatz book.
