Bond…. Bond Energy

All physical stuff is made of … –Matter! (Chemicals – atoms and molecules) In Chemical reactions, atoms rearrange to form new substances –(new molecules)

Conservation When new substances are made, the atoms themselves do not change. –They break their old bonds and form new ones. –Mass is CONSERVED! ENERGY is stored in a chemical bonds

Bond energies

Let’s make some molecules! One molecule of methane and two molecules of oxygen

Combustion of methane CH 4(g) + 2O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) + CO 2(g)

Combustion of methane CH 4(g) + 2O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) + CO 2(g) All reactions involve bond breaking and bond making as the atoms “swap partners”

Bond breaking - endothermic Energy is always required to be inputted to break a bond. Bond breaking is always endothermic.

Bond making - exothermic Energy is always released when a bond is formed. Bond making is always exothermic.

Bond energies The energy released when a bond is formed or absorbed when it is broken is called the bond energy. e.g. the C-H bond in methane has a bond energy of 413 KJ/mol

Energy level diagrams

Exothermic reaction The energy need to break the bonds is less than the energy released when new bonds are made “reaction path” energy CH 4(g) + 2O 2(g) C + 4H + 4O CO 2(g) + 2H 2 O (l) Energy needed to break bonds Energy released by forming bonds Energy released

Endothermic reaction The energy need to break the bonds is more than the energy released when new bonds are made “reaction path” energy NH 4 NO 3(s) + H 2 O (l) Energy needed to break bonds Energy released by forming bonds NH 4 NO 3(l) Energy absorbed

ΔH – Energy change in a complete reaction If heat is given out, the reaction has lost energy so ΔH is negative

ΔH – Energy change in a complete reaction If heat is absorbed (reaction gets colder), the reaction has gained energy so ΔH is positive

Calculating ΔH 2H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l)

Calculating ΔH 2H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) Bonds broken = 2 x (H-H) + 1 x (O=O) = 2 x x 498 = = 1370 KJ/mol

Calculating ΔH 2H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) Bonds broken = 2 x (H-H) + 1 x (O=O) = 2 x x 498 = = 1370 KJ/mol Bonds made = 4 x (O-H) = 4 x -464 = KJ/mol

Calculating ΔH 2H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) Bonds broken = 2 x (H-H) + 1 x (O=O) = 2 x x 498 = = 1370 KJ/mol Bonds made = 4 x (O-H) = 4 x -464 = KJ/mol Overall Energy change = (-1856) = -486 KJ/mol (Exothermic)

Energy in the Chemical Equations Because Energy is released (exothermic), include it as a product: 2H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2H 2 O (l) + Energy If Energy is absorbed (endothermic), you would include it as a reactant!
