Episode 13 – The Driving Forces Answer Key 1. When wood burns, the system proceeds toward minimum energy and the energy of the system decreases . 2. Describe the energy levels of reactants and products in an exothermic reaction. The reactants are at a higher level than the products. 3. In general, most chemical reactions release energy. 4.

Carry out certain experiments in a given order. Then without doing any calculations, explain what the driving force of the reaction is in each case – ie qualitatively rather than quantitatively.
Driving Forces in Chemistry. In chemistry, a driving force is a factor that causes a chemical reaction or physical process to occur. Understanding driving forces is important in understanding why and how reactions happen, and it is a key concept in various areas of chemistry, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium. Types of Driving ...

In this activity, students observe various chemical and physical processes to qualitatively predict and explain the signs of ∆S and ∆H. Based on their observations, they will predict the sign of ∆G and will determine the driving force of the process. Students will then calculate ∆S, ∆H and ∆G. This lesson focuses on thermochemical predictions, calc...
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to 1. Observe a chemical or physical process, and predict the sign of the entropy change. 2. Observe a chemical or physical process, and predict the sign of the enthalpy change. 3. Given the signs of both ΔH° and ΔS°, determine if a process is thermodynamically favorable, and if that favorability o...
This lesson supports students’ understanding of 1. Enthalpy 2. Entropy 3. Gibb’s free energy 4. Thermodynamic favorability
Teacher Preparation: 15 minutes for demo; 30 minutes for activity Lesson: 1. Introductory demonstration/discussion: 15 minutes. 2. Culminating activity: 45 minutes for student observations. 60 - 90 minutes to perform calculations and answer questions.

Always wear safety goggles when handling chemicals in the lab.Students should wash their hands thoroughly before leaving the lab.When students complete the lab, instruct them how to clean up their materials and dispose of any chemicals.When working with acids, if any solution gets on students’ skin, they should immediately alert you and thoroughly flush their skin with water.Notethat this lesson plan was updated by the author in January 2020. Changes have been made to the materials used at each station. If needed, you can find the original version of the lesson plan in...The consideration of thermodynamic driving forces serves to unify the concepts in Units 5 and 9. Please see the document Supplemental Teacher Notes available in the sidebar for an overview of these...What does driving force mean. it means reasons why a reaction occurs? Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like formation of a solid or . . ., transfer of electrons or . . ., formation of a . . . and more.
sufficient driving force is needed to enforce a favorable transformation,. Kinetics: all about “how” how fast or slow a process can occur, i.e., determining the rate . applicable to systems in transition from nonequilibrium to equilibrium, or between two equilibrium states.

Does thermodynamic favorability have a driving force?
The formation of a solid precipitate is the driving force that makes the reaction proceed. For example, consider the double displacement reaction between Na 2 SO 4 and SrCl 2 . The double displacement reaction products are NaCl and SrSO 4 .
