We start by introducing the concept of entropy S to explain why some reactions occur spontaneously, without needing additional energy, yet others do not. The sign of A 5 for a thermodynamic universe must be positive for spontaneity. We explore the temperature dependence of A5. 

In the following sections, we introduce the concept of a thermodynamic universe (i.e. a system plus its surroundings). For a reaction to occur spontaneously in a system, we require the change in Gibbs function G to be negative. We then explore the thermodynamic behaviour of G as a function of pressure, temperature and reaction composition. 

Figure 4.2 Schematic representation of a crystallization process. Each solvated ion, here Na+, releases six waters of solvation while incorporating into its crystal lattice. The overall entropy of the thermodynamic universe increases by this means...

We call the sum of the system and its surroundings the thermodynamic universe (see Figure 4.3). A thermodynamic universe is described as that volume large enough to enclose all the thermodynamic changes . The entropy change of the thermodynamic universe during crystallization is A (totai), which equates to... 

We define a thermodynamic universe as that volume large enough to enclose all the changes the size of the surroundings depends on the example. 

The word universe in this context is completely different from a universe in astronomy, so the two should not be confused. A thermodynamic universe comprises both a system and its surroundings. ...

Our conclusion is that, in any process, the total energy of the thermodynamic universe remains unchanged the total energy is conserved while it is exchanged between the system and the snrronndings. This is another way to state the first law of thermodynamics. 

FIGURE 12.8 A Styrofoam cup calorimeter. As the piece of metal cools, it releases heat to the water. The amount of heat released can be determined from the temperature change of the water. The hot metal is the "system" the water is the "surroundings." The Styrofoam cup wall prevents energy exchange with the remainder of the room and is the boundary of the "thermodynamic universe" for this problem. 

The thermodynamic universe is the combination of the system and the surroundings for a particular process of interest it is assumed to be closed and isolated. 

AU = q + w. The internal energy of a system is a state function. Although q and w are functions of the path, their sum is a state function. Heat transferred and work done must leave the energy of the thermodynamic universe unchanged. 

Consider the entire apparatus consisting of the filled and the evacuated bulbs to be a thermodynamic universe, so any exchange of thermal energy occurs solely between them the pair of bulbs is taken to be thermally insulated from their surroundings. Then examine the effects of doubling V on fl. If the volume is doubled, the number of positions available to a given molecule is doubled also. Therefore, the number of states available to the molecule should be proportional to the volume, V ... 

This section outlines procedures for calculating entropy changes that occur in the system and in the surroundings during several types of processes. The final subsections show how entropy changes calculated for the thermodynamic universe (system plus surroundings) predict whether a particular contemplated process can occur spontaneously when attempted in the laboratory or in a chemical plant. 

SPONTANEOUS COOLING OF A HOT BODY Consider a spontaneous process in which a sample of hot metal is cooled by sudden immersion in a cold bath. Heat flows from the metal into the bath until they arrive at the same temperature. This spontaneous process is accompanied by an increase in the total entropy for the thermodynamic universe of the process, as illustrated by the following example. 

A well-insulated ice-water bath at 0.0°C contains 20 g ice. Throughout this experiment, the bath is maintained at the constant pressure of 1 atm. When a piece of nickel at 100°C is dropped into the bath, 10.0 g of the ice melts. Calculate the total entropy change for the thermodynamic universe of this process. (Specific heats at constant P nickel, 0.46 J g water, 4.18 J g ice, 2.09 J g. Enthalpy of fusion of ice, 334JK-ig-h)... 

The thermodynamic universe of a process (that is, a system plus its surroundings) is clearly an isolated system to which Clausius s inequality can be applied. It follows that...

The set of all systems (and their processes) with properties S1-S4 and all their (though conceivable) combinations is called a (thermodynamic) universe. We postulate that the universe has the following properties ...
