Spontaneity

Nature tends to greater disorder
Any change that occurs spontaneously must have a final state which is more probable than its initial state
The final entropy of the universe must be greater than its initial entropy. (This is the second law of thermodynamics.)

Entropy change of the universe
It depends on both the entropy change of the system as well as the entropy change of the surroundings
Δssyst measures the entropy change of the system
The major effect of chemical changes on the entropy of the surroundings result from gain and loss of heat energy.
If a change in chemical potential energy is converted into heat energy which gets transferred to the universe through an exothermic change, it results in an increase in entropy of the surroundings
And the opposite is true for an endothermic change.

Magnitude
The magnitude of entropy change is given by:
ΔSΘsurr = - ΔHΘ/T
T is the absolute temperature.
The condition for a spontaneous change to occur is that Δsuniv is positive
ΔSΘuniv = Δsθ
surr + Δsθsyst
= -ΔHΘ/T +Δsθsyst

If a change is spontaneous depends on how it affects the entropy of the system and entropy of the surroundings through the heat energy released
If both are favorable, then a reaction will occur and vice versa
If one is favorable, the outcome will depend on which factor is the dominant one at the given temperature

Gibbs free energy change
The above mentioned condition has been traditionally considered in the terms of the Gibbs free energy change
The Gibbs free energy change ΔG is equal to – T ΔS
If this quantity is negative, then ΔSuniv must be positive so that the process can occur spontaneously
![Page 8: Spontaneity123](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071922/55d13277bb61ebc35f8b4782/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ΔGθ = -TΔS = -T (-ΔHθ/T + Δsθsyst) = ΔHθ-
TΔSθ
For Δsuniv to be positive and change to be spontaneous, ΔG has to be negative

Conditions for a change
Whether it results in a product with lower enthalpy
Whether it results in a product with greater entropy
Hence a reaction will definitely occur if both the enthalpy change is negative and the entropy change is positive
