FAQs on Chemical Thermodynamics Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 5

1. What is chemical thermodynamics?
Ans. Chemical thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that deals with the study of energy changes and transformations during chemical reactions and processes. It focuses on understanding the principles and laws governing the behavior of energy in chemical systems.
2. What are the main components of chemical thermodynamics?
Ans. Chemical thermodynamics consists of three main components: energy, entropy, and spontaneity. Energy refers to the capacity of a system to do work, while entropy represents the measure of disorder or randomness in a system. Spontaneity refers to the tendency of a reaction to occur without external intervention.
3. How is chemical thermodynamics applied in real-life scenarios?
Ans. Chemical thermodynamics finds various applications in real-life scenarios. It is used to determine the feasibility and efficiency of industrial processes, such as determining the energy required for a chemical reaction or optimizing reaction conditions. It also helps in understanding and predicting the behavior of substances under different conditions, such as the stability of pharmaceutical drugs or the efficiency of energy storage devices.
4. What are the laws of thermodynamics and their significance in chemical thermodynamics?
Ans. The laws of thermodynamics are fundamental principles governing energy and its transformations. The three laws are: 1. The first law of thermodynamics (law of energy conservation) states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. It is significant in chemical thermodynamics as it helps in understanding the energy changes during chemical reactions. 2. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time, leading to a decrease in the availability of energy for useful work. This law is crucial in understanding the spontaneity of chemical reactions and the direction in which they proceed. 3. The third law of thermodynamics states that as the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a pure crystalline substance approaches zero. This law provides a reference point for measuring and calculating absolute entropy values.
5. How is Gibbs free energy related to chemical thermodynamics?
Ans. Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that combines the effects of both enthalpy (heat) and entropy (disorder) in a system. It is used to determine the spontaneity and equilibrium of a chemical reaction. If the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is negative, the reaction is spontaneous and can proceed in the forward direction. If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous and requires energy input to proceed.
