The Story of Spontaneity and Energy DispersalYou never get what you want:
100% return on investment
SpontaneitySpontaneous process are those that
occur naturally.Hot body coolsA gas expands to fill the available volume
A spontaneous direction of change is where the direction of change does not require work to bring it about.
SpontaneityThe reverse of a spontaneous
process is a nonspontaneous processConfining a gas in a smaller volumeCooling an already cool object
Nonspontaneous processes require energy in order to realize them.
SpontaneityNote:
Spontaneity is often interpreted as a natural tendency of a process to take place, but it does not necessarily mean that it can be realized in practice.
Some spontaneous processes have rates sooo slow that the tendency is never realized in practice, while some are painfully obvious.
SpontaneityThe conversion of diamond to
graphite is spontaneous, but it is joyfully slow.
The expansion of gas into a vacuum is spontaneous and also instantaneous.
2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics“No process is possible in which the
sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work”
Statement formulated by Lord Kelvin
The 2nd Law of ThermodynamicsThe 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
recognizes the two classes of processes, the spontaneous and nonspontaneous processes.

What determines the direction of spontaneous change?The total internal energy of a system
does NOT determine whether a process is spontaneous or not.
Per the First Law, energy is conserved in any process involving an isolated system.
What determines the direction of spontaneous change?Instead, it is important to note that
the direction of change is related to the distribution of energy.
Spontaneous changes are always accompanied by a dispersal of energy.
Energy DispersalSuperheroes with
energy blasts and similar powers as well as the Super Saiyans are impossible characters.
They seem to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics!

Energy DispersalA ball on a warm
floor can never be observed to spontaneously bounce as a result of the energy from the warm floor
Energy DispersalIn order for this to
happen, the thermal energy represented by the random motion and vibrations of the floor atoms would have to be spontaneously diverted to accumulate into the ball.
Energy Dispersal It will also require the
random thermal motion to be redirected to move in a single direction in order for the ball to jump upwards.
This redirection or localization of random, disorderly thermal motion into a concerted, ordered motion is so unlikely as to be virtually impossible.
Energy Dispersal and SpontaneitySpontaneous change can now be
interpreted as the direction of change that leads to the dispersal of the total energy of an isolated system!
EntropyA state function, denoted by S.
While the First Law can be associated with U, the Second Law may be expressed in terms of the S
Entropy and the Second LawThe Second Law can be expressed in
terms of the entropy:
The entropy of an isolated system increases over the course of a spontaneous change: ΔStot > 0
Where Stot is the total entropy of the system and its surroundings.
EntropyA simple definition of entropy is that
it is a measure of the energy dispersed in a process.
For the thermodynamic definition, it is based on the expression:
EntropyFor a measurable change between two
states,
In order to calculate the difference in entropy between two states, we find a reversible pathway between them and integrate the energy supplied as heat at each stage, divided by the temperature.
Example
Change in entropy of the surroundings: ΔSsur If we consider a transfer of heat dqsur to the surroundings,
which can be assumed to be a reservoir of constant volume.
The energy transferred can be identified with the change in internal energy dUsur is independent of how change brought about (U is state
functionCan assume process is reversible, dUsur= dUsur,rev
Since dUsur = dqsur and dUsur= dUsur,rev, dqsur must equal dqsur,rev
That is, regardless of how the change is brought about in the system, reversibly or irreversibly, we can calculate the change of entropy of the surroundings by dividing the heat transferred by the temperature at which the transfer takes place.
Change in entropy of the surroundings: ΔSsur
For adiabatic change, qsur = 0, so DSsur = 0
Entropy: A molecular look Boltzmann formula:
Entropy is a reflection of the microstates, the ways in which the molecules of a system can be arranged while keeping the total energy constant.
Entropy as a State Function To prove entropy is a state function we must show that ∫dS
is path independent Sufficient to show that the integral around a cycle is zero or

Carnot Cycle - Thermodynamic Temperature Scale
The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work performed to the heat of the hot reservoir
e=|w|/qh The greater the work the greater
the efficiency Work is the difference between
the heat supplied to the engine and the heat returned to the cold reservoir
w = qh -(-qc) = qh + qc
Therefore, e = |w|/qh = ( qh + qc)/qh = 1 + (qc/qh )

a substance-independent temperature scale based on the heat transferred between two Carnot cycles sharing an isotherm
He defined a temperature scale such that qc/-qh = Tc/Th
e = 1 - (Tc/Th ) Zero point on the scale is that
temperature where e = 1 Or as Tc approaches 0 e approaches
1 Efficiency can be used as a measure
of temperature regardless of the working fluid
Applies directly to the power required to maintain a low temperature in refrigerators
Efficiency is maximized
Greater temperature difference between reservoirs
The lower Tc, the greater the efficiency
Refrigeration
Coefficient of performance (COP or β or c)
COP describes the qc in this case as the minimum energy to be supplied to a refrigeration-like system in order to generate the required entropy to make the system work.
Entropy changes: ExpansionEntropy changes in a system are
independent of the path taken by the process

Measurement of Entropy (or molar entropy)
Measurement of Entropy (or molar entropy)The terms in the previous equation
can be calculated or determined experimentally
The difficult part is assessing heat capacities near T = 0.
Such heat capacities can be evaluated via the Debye extrapolation
Measurement of Entropy (or molar entropy)In the Debye extrapolation, the
expression below is assumed to be valid down to T=0.
Third Law of ThermodynamicsAt T = 0, all energy of thermal motion has been
quenched, and in a perfect crystal all the atoms or ions are in a regular, uniform array.
The localization of matter and the absence of thermal motion suggest that such materials also have zero entropy.
This conclusion is consistent with the molecular interpretation of entropy, because S = 0 if there is only one way of arranging the molecules and only one microstate is accessible (the ground state).
Third Law of Thermodynamics
The entropy of all perfect crystalline substances is zero at T = 0.
Nernst heat theoremThe entropy change accompanying
any physical or chemical transformation approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero: ΔS 0 as T 0 provided all the substances involved are perfectly crystalline.
Third-Law entropiesThese are entropies reported on the
basis that S(0) = 0.

Clausius inequality
The Clausius inequality implies that dS 0.
“In an isolated system, the entropy cannot decrease when a spontaneous change takes place.”
Criteria for spontaneity
In a system in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings at a temperature T, there is a transfer of energy as heat when a change in the system occurs and the Clausius inequality will read as above:
Criteria for spontaneityWhen energy is transferred as heat at constant volume:
*dq = dU At either constant U or constant S:
Which leads to
Criteria for spontaneityWhen energy is transferred as heat at
constant pressure, the work done is only expansion work and we can obtain
At either constant H or constant S:

Helmholtz energyA change in a system at constant
temperature and volume is spontaneous if it corresponds to a decrease in the Helmholtz energy.
Aside from an indicator of spontaneity, the change in the Helmholtz function is equal to the maximum work accompanying a process.
