  • How the change in enthelpy and entropy not the only criteria…

    1. The Conflict of Drivers

    In nature, there are two primary tendencies:

    • Enthalpy ($Delta H$): Systems generally want to move toward a lower energy state (exothermic, $-Delta H$).
    • Entropy ($Delta S$): Systems generally move toward a state of higher disorder (positive, $+Delta S$).

    The problem is that many processes are endothermic (absorbing heat) but still happen spontaneously (like ice melting at room temperature). Conversely, some processes decrease disorder (like water freezing) but occur spontaneously at low temperatures. If you only looked at one criterion, you would get the prediction wrong half the time.

    2. The Role of Temperature

    Temperature acts as a “weighting factor” for entropy.

    • At low temperatures, the enthalpy change ($Delta H$) usually dominates the direction of the reaction.
    • At high temperatures, the entropy change ($Delta S$) becomes the more significant factor.

    Because the surroundings and the system are constantly exchanging energy, a process that seems “disfavorable” for the system might be “favorable” for the universe once you factor in the heat released to the environment.


    3. The Deciding Factor: Gibbs Free Energy

    To solve this tug-of-war, scientists use Gibbs Free Energy ($G$). It combines enthalpy, entropy, and temperature into a single value that represents the “total” energy available to do work.

    The relationship is defined by the equation:

    $$Delta G = Delta H – TDelta S$$

    The True Criterion for Spontaneity:

    A process is only spontaneous if the Total Free Energy decreases ($Delta G < 0$).

    H S Spontaneity (G<0)
    Negative (Exothermic) Positive (More Disorder) Always Spontaneous
    Positive (Endothermic) Negative (Less Disorder) Never Spontaneous
    Negative (Exothermic) Negative (Less Disorder) Spontaneous only at Low Temps
    Positive (Endothermic) Positive (More Disorder) Spontaneous only at High Temps

    4. The “Universe” Perspective

    The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that for a process to be spontaneous, the entropy of the universe must increase:

    $$Delta S_{univ} = Delta S_{sys} + Delta S_{surr} > 0$$

    Enthalpy matters because it dictates $Delta S_{surr}$ (heat released to the surroundings increases their entropy). Therefore, Gibbs Free Energy is essentially a clever way of measuring the entropy change of the entire universe using only the properties of your system.

  • What is combination reaction?

    A combination reaction is a chemical reaction in which two or more reactants involve to form a single new substance!

  • On what basis is a chemical equation balanced?

    A chemical equation is balanced on the basis of law of conservation of mass.

  • Explain Delton’s atomic theory.

    The Daltons Atomic Theory was proposed by John Dalton. It explains the nature of matter.

    Main Postulates:

    1. Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.

    2. Atoms cannot be divided, created, or destroyed.

    3. Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.

    4. Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.

    5. Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

    HOW AIRPLANES FLY

    (Textbook-Style Explanation)


    1. INTRODUCTION TO FLIGHT

    Flight is the result of the interaction between an aircraft and the air around it. Airplanes are able to fly by generating enough force to overcome gravity and remain stable in the air.

    There are four fundamental forces of flight that act on an airplane at all times. Understanding these forces is essential to understanding how airplanes fly.


    2. THE FOUR FORCES OF FLIGHT

    2.1 Lift

    Lift is the upward force that allows an airplane to rise into the air and stay airborne.

    • Lift is generated mainly by the wings
    • Wings are shaped as an airfoil
    • The shape causes air to move:
      • Faster over the top surface
      • Slower under the bottom surface

    This difference in speed creates a pressure difference:

    • Lower pressure above the wing
    • Higher pressure below the wing

    This pressure difference pushes the wing upward

    Additionally, lift is also produced because:

    • The wing deflects air downward
    • The air pushes back upward on the wing

    2.2 Weight

    Weight is the downward force caused by gravity.

    It includes:

    • Structure of the airplane
    • Fuel
    • Passengers
    • Cargo

    For an airplane to fly:
    Lift must be greater than or equal to weight


    2.3 Thrust

    Thrust is the forward force that moves the airplane through the air.

    It is produced by:

    • Jet engines (for large aircraft)
    • Propellers (for smaller aircraft)

    Thrust works by:

    • Pushing air backward
    • Creating a forward reaction force

    The greater the thrust, the faster the airplane moves.


    2.4 Drag

    Drag is the force that opposes motion through the air.

    It acts in the opposite direction of thrust.

    Types of drag include:

    • Parasite drag (caused by air resistance and friction)
    • Induced drag (caused by lift production)

    Engineers design airplanes to be aerodynamic to reduce drag.


    3. HOW WINGS GENERATE LIFT

    Wings generate lift through two main principles:

    3.1 Pressure Difference

    • Faster airflow above the wing reduces pressure
    • Slower airflow below increases pressure

    3.2 Air Deflection

    • Wings push air downward
    • The reaction force pushes the airplane upward

    Both effects work together to create lift.


    4. THE IMPORTANCE OF SPEED

    Speed is critical in flight because:

    • Faster movement = more airflow over the wings
    • More airflow = greater lift

    If speed decreases too much:

    • Lift decreases
    • The airplane may stall

    A stall occurs when:

    • Lift is no longer enough to support the airplane

    5. CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE

    Airplanes are controlled using control surfaces:

    5.1 Ailerons

    • Located on the wings
    • Control roll (left and right tilt)

    5.2 Elevator

    • Located on the horizontal tail
    • Controls pitch (nose up and down)

    5.3 Rudder

    • Located on the vertical tail
    • Controls yaw (left and right direction)

    These controls allow the pilot to maneuver the aircraft in all directions.


    6. TAKEOFF PROCESS

    The process of takeoff involves several steps:

    1. Engines generate thrust
    2. Airplane accelerates along the runway
    3. Airflow over the wings increases
    4. Lift begins to build
    5. When lift exceeds weight, the airplane leaves the ground

    7. LANDING PROCESS

    Landing is the reverse of takeoff:

    • Thrust is reduced
    • Speed decreases
    • Lift decreases
    • Flaps are extended to:
      • Increase lift at low speeds
      • Increase drag for controlled descent

    The airplane gently returns to the runway.


    8. ANGLE OF ATTACK

    The angle of attack is the angle between:

    • The wing
    • The direction of incoming air

    Key points:

    • Increasing angle = increases lift (up to a limit)
    • Too high angle = airflow separates stall

    9. AIR DENSITY

    Air density affects flight performance:

    • High density (low altitude, cool air):
      • More lift
      • Better performance
    • Low density (high altitude, hot air):
      • Less lift
      • Reduced performance

    10. SUMMARY

    Airplanes fly because of the balance of four forces:

    • Lift pushes upward
    • Weight pulls downward
    • Thrust moves forward
    • Drag resists motion

    Flight is achieved when:

    • Lift Weight
    • Thrust Drag
