2. Free Energy and Equilibria

FREE ENERGY AND EQUILIBRIA
DG < 0 process is spontaneous
DG > 0 reverse process is spontaneous
DG = 0 no change is spontaneous: Equilibrium
Le Châtelier’s principle gives us some understanding of how the
equilibrium of a system changes when we perturb it.
"Any change in one of the variables that determines the state of a system in
equilibrium causes a shift in the position of equilibrium in a direction that
tends to counteract the change in the variable under consideration."
We are interested in how systems tend towards equilibrium and what
obstacles keep them out of equilibrium.
The free energy, or more correctly, the chemical potential is our measure
of roughly how far we have to go to come to equilibrium. It is a potential
energy of sorts.

3. Chemical Potential

CHEMICAL POTENTIAL
The chemical potential can be used to give quantitative meaning to Le
Châtelier’s principle.
Chemical potential of component A, µA, is defined as the partial molar Gibbs
free energy:
G
A
n A T, P, n
j n A
This is the change in G with respect to a infinitesimal change in the amount
of component A with all other parameters held constant.
It is essentially the free energy increase (or decrease) associated with
adding a little of A to the system.

4. Directionality of a Chemical Reaction

DIRECTIONALITY OF A CHEMICAL REACTION
Consider a closed system of four components (A, B, C, and D) undergoing a
reversible chemical reaction:

At constant T and P,

This is at constant T and P. Its reversible. So,
DG°vap= 0 = DH°vap-T DS°vap
Note that this implies at equilibrium:

Chemical potential is a measure of the thermodynamic free energy.
It tells us what the equilibrium distribution of reactants and products must be
It does not tell us the kinetic rate.

12. Equilibrium Example

EQUILIBRIUM EXAMPLE
Oxidation of CO:
2 CO (g) + O2 (g)
2 CO2 (g)
The free energy change for this reaction is simply:
DG ° rxn= 2 DG°289(CO2) - 2 DG°289(CO) - DG°289(O2)
We can calculate this using numbers from the appendix:
DG ° rxn= 2 (-394.36) - 2( -137.17) - 0 (kJ/mol) = -514.38 kJ/mol
A relatively large negative number.

The equilibrium for this reaction lies far in favor of the products.
Large negative DG means the reaction goes forward with high probability.

energetically favorable, but the reaction is slow
Reactants

1) We have to first break an O-O double bond
2) The resultant atoms of oxygen must
then react with CO.
Reaction coordinate
For other reactions like
2 H2(g) + O2(g)
2 H2O (l)
We need a catalyst (e.g. platinum surface), and ideally we wish to convert the
released energy to work.
Catalysts enable a reaction to take an alternative path, with lower activation barrier.

15. Protein Unfolding

PROTEIN UNFOLDING
Proteins have a native state. (Really, they tend to have a tight cluster of native
states.)
Denaturation occurs when heat or denaturants such as guanidine, urea or detergent
are added to solution. Also, the pH can affect folding.
When performing a denaturation process non-covalent interactions are broken.
Ionic, van der-Waals, dipolar, hydrogen bonding, etc.
Solvent is reorganized.

heat
Let’s consider denaturation with heat. We can determine a great deal about the
nature of the protein from such a consideration.
The experimental technique we use for measuring thermodynamic changes here is
the differential scanning calorimeter.
Basic experiment: Add heat to sample, measure its temperature change.

In differential scanning calorimetry you have two samples:
Your material of interest
Control
You put in an amount of heat to raise the temperature of the control at a constant
rate, then measure the rate of change in temperature of the other sample as a
function of the input heat.
This is a measure of the heat capacity!
