Document Summary

Spontaneous process: process that does occur under a specific set of conditions, irreversible, occur in one direction. Non-spontaneous process: process that does not occur under a specific set of conditions, occur in the reverse direction. Reversible processes: system changes in a way that the system and surroundings can be put back in their original states by exactly reversing the process. Irreversible processes: cannot be undone by exactly reversing the change to the system, spontaneous processes are irreversible. To predict spontaneity of a chemical or physical process, we need to know both the change in enthalpy and the change in entropy associated with the process. Entropy: measure of how spread out of how dispersed the system"s energy is, for a given system, the greater the volume it occupies, the greater its entropy. Image is a spontaneous process: occurs spontaneously despite there being too entropy change, motional energy.
