1 Chemical Thermodynamics The chemistry that deals with the energy and entropy changes and the spontaneity of a chemical process.

2 First Law of Thermodynamics The change in the internal energy (  E) of a thermodynamic system is equal to the amount of heat energy (q) added to or lost by the system plus work done (w) on or by the system.  E = q + w For work that only involves gas expansion or compression, w = -p  V;

3 Values of Thermodynamic Functions FLoT:  E = q + w; –q is assigned a positive value if heat is absorbed, but a negative value if heat is lost by the system; –w is assigned a positive value if work is done on, but a negative value if work is done by the system. –For processes that do not involve phase changes, positive  E results in temperature increase.

4 Second Law of Thermodynamics Energy tends to flow from a high energy concentration to a dispersed energy state; Energy dispersion or diffusion is a spontaneous process. Dispersed or diffused energy is called entropy According to SLoT, a process/reaction is spontaneous if the entropy of the universe (system + surrounding) increases.

5 Third Law of Thermodynamics The entropy of a perfect crystalline substance is zero at absolute zero temperature (0.0 K) Is absolute zero temperature achievable?

6 What is Entropy? A thermodynamic (energy) function that describes the degree of randomness or probability of existence. As a state function – entropy change depends only on the initial and final states, but not on how the change occurs.

7 What is the significance of entropy? Nature spontaneously proceeds toward the state that has the highest probability of (energy) existence – highest entropy Entropy is used to predict whether a given process/reaction is thermodynamically possible;

8 Entropy: which are most probable?

9 Relative Entropy of Substances Entropy: –increases from solid to liquid to vapor/gas; –increases as temperature increases; –of gas increases as its volume increases at constant temperature; –increases when gases are mixed. –of elements increases down the group in the periodic table; –of compound increases as its structure becomes more complex.

10 Where do molecules have the higher entropy

11 Standard Entropy, S o The entropy of a substance in its most stable state at 1 atm and 25 o C. The entropy of an ionic species in 1 M solution at 25 o C.

12 Entropy and Second Law of Thermodynamics The second law of thermodynamics states that all spontaneous processes are accompanied by increase in the entropy of the universe. –Universe = System + Surrounding; –System: the process/reaction whose thermodynamic change is being studied; –Surrounding: the part of the universe that interacts with the system.

13 Conditions for Spontaneous Process Entropy change for a process:  S univ =  S sys +  S surr > 0,  process is spontaneous  S univ =  S sys +  S surr = 0,  process is at equilibrium If  S sys 0, and |  S surr | > |  S sys | If  S surr 0, and |  S sys | > |  S surr |

14 Gibb’s Free Energy For spontaneous reactions,  S univ =  S sys +  S surr > 0  S surr = -  H sys /T  S univ =  S sys -  H sys /T -T  S univ =  G sys =  H sys - T  S sys < 0  G sys is called Gibb’s free energy A new criteria for spontaneous process is  G sys < 0

15 What is Free Energy?

16 Free Energy?

17 Thermodynamic Free Energy It is the maximum amount of chemical energy derived from a spontaneous reaction that can be utilized to do work or to drive a nonspontaneous process. It is the minimum amount of energy that must be supplied to make a nonspontaneous reaction occur.

18 Effect of Temperature on  G and Spontaneity ——————————————————————————————————  H  S T  G Comments Examples —————————————————————————————————— - + high - spontaneous at 2H 2 O 2 (l)  2H 2 O (l) + O 2 (g) or low all temperature + + high - spontaneous at CaCO 3 (s)  CaO(s) + CO 2 (g) high temperature -- low - spontaneous at N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g) low temperature + - high + nonspontaneous at 2H 2 O (l) + O 2 (g)  2H 2 O 2 (l) or low all temperature ________________________________________________________

19 Entropy Change in Chemical Reactions At constant temperature and pressure,  S o rxn =  n p S o products –  n r S o reactants In general,  S o rxn > 0 if  n p >  n r Example-1: C 3 H 8 (g) + 5O 2 (g)  3CO 2 (g) + 4H 2 O (g), (  n p >  n r )  S o rxn = {(3 x S o CO 2 ) + (4 x S o H 2 O )} – {(S o C 3 H 8 ) + (5 x S o O 2 )} = {(3 x 214) + (4 x 189)}J/K – {270 + (5 x 205)}J/K = (642 + 756) J/K – (270 + 1025) J/K = 103 J/K

20 Entropy Change in Chemical Reactions  S o rxn < 0 if  n p <  n r Example-2: CO (g) + 2H 2 (g)  CH 3 OH (g), (  n p <  n r )   S o rxn = (S o CH 3 OH ) – {(S o CO ) + (2 x S o H 2 )} = 240 J/K – {198 J/K + (2 x 131 J/K) = 240 J/K – 460 J/K = -220 J/K

21 Effect of Temperature on  G o  G o =  H o - T  S o Example-1: For the reaction: N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g),  H o = -92 kJ and  S o = -199 J/K = -0.199 kJ/K At 25 o C, T  S o = 298 K x (-0.199 J/K) = -59.3 kJ  G o =  H o - T  S o = -92 kJ – (-59.3 kJ) = -33 kJ;  reaction is spontaneous at 25 o C At 250 o C, T  S o = 523 K x (-0.199 J/K) = -104 kJ;  G o =  H o - T  S o = -92 kJ – (-104 kJ) = 12 kJ;  reaction is nonspontaneous at 250 o C

22 Effect of Temperature on  G o  G o =  H o – T  S o Example-2: For the reaction: CH 4 (g ) + H 2 O (g )  CO (g ) + 3H 2 (g ),  H o = 206 kJ and  S o = 216 J/K = 0.216 kJ/K At 25 o C, T  S o = 298 K x (0.216 J/K) = 64.4 kJ  G o =  H o - T  S o = 206 kJ – 64.4 kJ = 142 kJ;  reaction is nonspontaneous at 25 o C. At 1200 K, T  S o = 1200 K x (0.216 J/K) = 259 kJ;  G o =  H o - T  S o = 206 kJ – 259 kJ) = -53 kJ;  reaction is spontaneous at 1200 K

23  G under Nonstandard Conditions Free energy change also depends on concentrations and partial pressures; Under nonstandard conditions (P i not 1 atm),  G =  G o + RTlnQ p, Consider the reaction: N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g ), Q p = Under standard condition, P N 2 = P H 2 = P NH 3 = 1 atm, Q p = 1; lnQ p = 0, and  G =  G o

24  G of reaction under nonstandard condition Consider the following reaction at 250 o C : N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g), where, P N 2 = 5.0 atm, P H 2 = 15 atm, and P NH 3 = 5.0 atm Q p = 5 2 /(5 x 15 3 ) = 1.5 x 10 -3 lnQ p = ln(1.5 x 10 -3 ) = -6.5 Under this condition,  G =  G o + RTlnQ p ; (For this reaction at 250 o C, calculated  G o = 12 kJ)   G = 12 kJ + (0.008314 kJ/T x 523 K x (-6.5)) = 12 kJ – 28 kJ = -16 kJ  spontaneous reaction

25 Transition Temperature This is a temperature at which a reaction changes from being spontaneous to being nonspontaneous, and vice versa, when Q p or Q c equals 1 (standard condition) At transition temperature, T r,  G o =  H o – T r  S o = 0;  T r =  H o /  S o For reaction: N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g), T r = -92 kJ/(-0.199 kJ/K) = 460 K = 190 o C Under standard pressure (1 atm), this reaction is spontaneous below 190 o C, but becomes nonspontaneous above this temperqature.

26 Transition Temperature For reaction: CH 4 (g ) + H 2 O (g )  CO (g ) + 3H 2 (g ),  H o = 206 kJ and  S o = 216 J/K = 0.216 kJ/K  G o =  H o + T r  S o = 0,  T r = 206 kJ/(0.216 kJ/K) = 954 K = 681 o C  Under standard pressure (1 atm), this reaction is not spontaneous below 681 o C, but becomes spontaneous above this temperature.  Reactions with both  H o and  S o < 0 favor low temperature;  Those with both  H o and  S o > 0 favor high temperature.

27 Free Energy and Equilibrium Constant For spontaneous reactions,  G decreases (becomes less negative) as the reaction proceeds towards equilibrium; At equilibrium,  G = 0;  G =  G o + RTlnK = 0  G o = -RTlnK lnK = -  G o /RT (  G o calculated at temperature T) Equilibrium constant, K = e -(  G o /RT)  Go 1; reaction favors products formation  Go > 0, K < 1; reaction favors reactants formation  Go = 0, K = 1; reaction favors neither reactants nor products

28 Calculating K from  G o Consider the reaction: N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  2NH 3 (g), At 25 o C,  G o = -33 kJ lnK = -(-33 x 10 3 J/(298 K x 8.314 J/K.mol)) = 13 K = e 13 = 4.4 x 10 5 (reaction goes to completion) At 250 o C,  G o = 12 kJ; lnK = -(12 x 10 3 J/(523 K x 8.314 J/K.mol)) = -2.8 K = e -2.8 = 0.061 (very little product is formed)

29 Coupling Reactions A nonspontaneous reaction can be coupled to a spontaneous one to make it happen. Example: Fe 2 O 3 (s)  2Fe (s) + 3/2 O 2 (g) ;  G o = 740 kJ (eq-1) CO (g) + ½ O 2 (g)  CO 2 (g) ;  G o = -283 kJ 3CO (g) + 3/2 O 2 (g)  3CO 2 (g) ;  G o = -849 kJ (eq-2) Combining eq-1 and eq-2, Fe 2 O 3 (s) + 3CO (g)  2Fe (s) + 3CO 2 (g) ;  G o = -109 kJ

30 Coupling Reactions in Biological System The formation of ATP from ADP and H 2 PO 4 - is nonspontaneous, but it can be coupled to the hydrolysis of creatine-phosphate that has a negative  G o. ADP + H 2 PO 4 -  ATP + H 2 O;  G o = +30 kJ Creatine-phosphate  creatine + phosphate;  G o = -43 kJ Combining the two equations yields a spontaneous overall reaction: Creatine-phosphate + ADP  Creatine + ATP ;  G o = -13 kJ
