Standard Molar Entropies
-measure molar entropies for substances in their standard states
-increase with increasing molar mass, increasing number of atoms in the formula, and are greater for gasses than liquids/solids
Formula to calculate entropy change under standard conditions
(delta) So =
(sigma) nSoproducts --
(sigma) nSoreactants
Entropy changes in the surroundings
So far, weve tabulated absolute entropy values to calculate standard entropy change in a system
Surroundings are essentially a large, constant-temperature heat source
Constant temperature and pressure, entropy change of surroundings is given by: (delta)Ssurr = -(delta)Hsys / T
