1. Chapter 17 Thermochemistry

2. Basics Thermochemistry Thermochemistry –Study of heat changes in a chemical reaction Calorimeter Calorimeter –Instrument used to measure heat changes (actually measure temp changes because heat cannot be measured directly!) –Styrofoam cup, “real” calorimeter (metal) Temperature (T) Temperature (T) –Measure of average KE of sample –Increased KE = Increased temp Heat Heat –Measure of TOTAL KE of sample –Depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Specific Heat (s) Specific Heat (s) –Amount of energy needed to raise 1g of sample 1°C

3. Calorimetry Calculations q = msΔT q = msΔT Example Problems Example Problems

4. Heat of Reaction Heat of Reaction (q) Heat of Reaction (q) –Energy given off or absorbed during a reaction Thermochemical Equation Thermochemical Equation –A reaction with heat information listed Enthalpy (H) Enthalpy (H) –Measure of heat of reaction; usually per mol of substance tested

5. Heat of Reaction ΔH = change in enthalpy ΔH = change in enthalpy ΔH = ΔH products – ΔH reactants ΔH = ΔH products – ΔH reactants If ΔH is negative = exothermic If ΔH is negative = exothermic If ΔH is positive = endothermic If ΔH is positive = endothermic Example: Example: –2H 2 O (g)  2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) ΔH =+483.6kJ  Positive ΔH means endothermic rxn – needs energy

6. Heat of Reaction Stability of products vs. reactants Stability of products vs. reactants –If products have higher energy = endothermic –If reactant have higher energy = exothermic ENDO – PUT IN ENERGY EXO – ENERGY GIVEN OFF TempTemp Reaction Progress

7. Heat of Reaction Heat of Formation (ΔH f ) Heat of Formation (ΔH f ) –Energy change when forming 1mol of a compound from elements in most stable form Heat of Combustion (ΔH combus ) Heat of Combustion (ΔH combus ) –Energy change during burning in O 2 Heat of Reaction (ΔH rxn ) Heat of Reaction (ΔH rxn ) – -ΔH are ‘favored’ (expect to happen) –Exothermic reactions

8. Calculating ΔH ΔH rxn = [Σ(coefficient)(ΔH f products)] – [Σ(Coefficient)(ΔH f reactants)] ΔH rxn = [Σ(coefficient)(ΔH f products)] – [Σ(Coefficient)(ΔH f reactants)] Practice problems (using ΔH charts) Practice problems (using ΔH charts)

9. Hess’ Law Hess’ Law Hess’ Law –One big reaction that is the sum of several smaller reactions –Rules:  Flip a reaction = change sign of ΔH  Multiply by a coefficient = multiply ΔH

10. Hess’ Law Practice Problems Practice Problems

11. Driving Forces for Reactions Enthalpy (ΔH) Enthalpy (ΔH) –Exothermic (-) are favored Entropy (ΔS) Entropy (ΔS) –Disorder –Gas – high entropy –More disorder (+) are favored  Example of MORE disorder:  Boiling (l -> g)  Melting (s -> l)

12. Entropy Practice Problems (Using ΔS charts) Practice Problems (Using ΔS charts)

13. Free Energy Gibb’s Free Energy (ΔG) Gibb’s Free Energy (ΔG) –Available energy –Is the FINAL answer whether a reaction will occur or not –ΔG = ΔH – TΔS  Units must match!!  If ΔG is negative  Reaction does occur spontaneously  If ΔG is positive  Reaction does not occur spontaneously

14. Free Energy Calculations (Using equation) Calculations (Using equation)
