Thermodynamics: study of energy changes in systems Thermochemistry –study of energy changes involved in physical and chemical changes.

Laws of Thermodynamics First Law - Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it simply changes forms. Esystem = -Esurroundings Second Law – In any energy conversion, energy is always lost in the form of heat.

How do we know energy changes exist? We can observe the effect it has on our surroundings. Energy systems either release energy to the surroundings or absorb energy from the surroundings. Universe = System + Surroundings

Three types of systems: Open systems – matter and energy move freely in / out. Closed systems – only energy moves in / out. Isolated system – neither matter nor energy moves in / out.

Calculating Thermal Energy Q=mcΔT YouTube - Chemistry Music Video: Em Cee Delta Tee (The Calorimetry Song)

Q =quantity of heat flowing in / out of that substance, measured as energy in units of joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ) m-mass of substance undergoing the change measured in units of grams (g) or kilograms (kg) c=heat capacity -heat required to change the temp of 1 g of substance by 1oC

Energy From the Sun Energy from the sun is stored in the bonds of chemical substances such as fossil fuels and hydrocarbons.

Solar energy is captured by plants during photosynthesis. Living tissues from plants and animals become buried. Instead of decaying, these compounds form hydrocarbons or fossil fuels. The energy from fossil fuels is released during combustion reactions and converted into heat.

Photosynthesis is endothermic: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy  C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) Cellular Respiration is exothermic: C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)  6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy Combustion is exothermic: CH4(g) + 2 O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) + energy

There are two types of energy that matter may possess: Energy Types There are two types of energy that matter may possess: 1. Kinetic energy – the energy of motion 2. Potential energy – the energy of position

Kinetic Energy (Ek) faster the particle is moving, the greater the kinetic energy. Can be found in three types: Translational Rotational Vibrational

Ek measured indirectly by measuring the temperature of a system. is proportional to the amount of heat a system holds.

Potential Energy (Ep) Stored energy found in the bonds and inter-molecular forces of molecules Changes in potential energy include phase changes, chemical reactions and nuclear reactions

Chemical Changes Are changes in potential energy energy is required to break bonds and the energy is released when new bonds are formed. chemical reactions:micro/macro

Enthalpy and Enthalpy Change enthalpy describes the total amount of energy a system has. Enthalpy Change (ΔH = kJ) refers to how much the total energy of a system increases or decreases during a chemical reaction. Molar enthalpy (ΔH = kJ/mol) describes the amount of enthalpy change per mole of substance.

Two types of reaction enthalpies Exothermic reaction – more energy is released in making bonds than is required to break them. (-ΔH) Surrounding temperature increases Endothermic reaction – less energy is released in forming bonds than was required to break bonds. (+ΔH) Surrounding temperature decreases
