The three laws of Thermodynamics were covered and entropy and spontaneous reactions were introduced. We talked about the entropy of the universe and the entropy of a system.
Gibbs Free Energy was introduced and we discussed the relationship between free energy, entropy, and enthalpy. I touched on Experiment #32 (which we will not perform in this class) and how free energy is related to the equilibrium constant, k. This value can be experimentally determined via an acid/base titration.
Lastly, the chelate effect was analyzed as the magnitude of the formation constant can be analyzed by looking into the entropy of the reaction occurring.
