Chapter 13: Thermodynamics: Spontaneous Processes, Entropy, and Free Energy
Study Plan
Organize
- Prepare for lecture by reading the assigned sections from Chapter 13 in your textbook or ebook. This will provide an organizing framework for concepts introduced in lecture, and help you take better notes.
- Take the Diagnostic Quiz and work the Concept Test questions in your textbook to assess your understanding of basic concepts. Examine the diagnostic quiz feedback, review textbook sections that correspond to questions you missed, and be prepared to ask questions about any material you do not understand.
- Use the Flashcards to test your memory for new vocabulary terms.
Learn
- Re-read Chapter 13 in your textbook (or ebook) and review your lecture notes.
- Work through the ChemTours for this chapter. ChemTours use animation and interactive exercises to develop your understanding of fundamental topics.

- Review the Problem-Solving Summary. After reading this chapter and working its exercises, you should be able to:
| Objective | Exercise | Section (ebook links) |
|---|---|---|
| Predict the sign of the entropy change in a physical or chemical process | 13.1 and 13.2 | |
| Calculate the entropy change of a chemical reaction | 13.3 | |
| Predict the spontaneity of a process | 13.4 | |
| Calculate the free-energy change of a physical or chemical process | 13.5 and 13.6 | |
| Relate reaction spontaneity to ∆H and ∆S | 13.7 | |
| Calculate the free-energy change of coupled reactions | 13.8 |
