THERMOCHEMISTRY

Thermochemistry Chapter 6

Definitions #1 Energy: The capacity to do work or produce heat Potential Energy: Energy due to position or composition Kinetic Energy: Energy due to the motion of the object

Some types Energy Radiant energy comes from the sun and is earth’s primary energy source Thermal energy is the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules Chemical energy is the energy stored within the bonds of chemical substances Nuclear energy is the energy stored within the collection of neutrons and protons in the atom Potential energy is the energy available by virtue of an object’s position Which are Potential? Kinetic? 6.1

Definitions #2 Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be converted between forms The First Law of Thermodynamics: The total energy content of the universe is constant

First law of thermodynamics  E system +  E surroundings = 0 or  E system = -  E surroundings C 3 H 8 + 5O 2 3CO 2 + 4H 2 O Exothermic chemical reaction! 6.3 Chemical energy lost by combustion = Energy gained by the surroundings system surroundings

State Functions State Functions depend ONLY on the present state of the system ENERGY IS A STATE FUNCTION A person standing at the top of Mt. Everest has the same potential energy whether they got there by hiking up, or by falling down from a plane! WORK IS NOT A STATE FUNCTION WHY NOT???

Thermodynamics is the scientific study of the interconversion of heat and other kinds of energy. State functions are properties that are determined by the state of the system, regardless of how that condition was achieved. Potential energy of hiker 1 and hiker 2 is the same even though they took different paths. energy, pressure, volume, temperature 6.3  E = E final - E initial  P = P final - P initial  V = V final - V initial  T = T final - T initial

 E = q + w  E = change in internal energy of a system q = heat flowing into or out of the system -q if energy is leaving to the surroundings +q if energy is entering from the surroundings w = work done by, or on, the system -w if work is done by the system on the surroundings +w if work is done on the system by the surroundings

Work, Pressure, and Volume Expansion Compression +  V (increase) -  V (decrease) - w results+ w results E system decreases Work has been done by the system on the surroundings E system increases Work has been done on the system by the surroundings

Work Done On the System 6.3 w = F x d w = -P  V P x V = x d 3 = F x d = w F d2d2  V > 0 -P  V < 0 w sys < 0 Work is not a state function!  w = w final - w initial initialfinal

A sample of nitrogen gas expands in volume from 1.6 L to 5.4 L at constant temperature. What is the work done in joules if the gas expands from a vacuum (0.0 atm) to a constant pressure of 3.7 atm? w = -P  V (a)  V = 5.4 L – 1.6 L = 3.8 L P = 0 atm W = -0 atm x 3.8 L = 0 Latm = 0 joules (b)  V = 5.4 L – 1.6 L = 3.8 L P = 3.7 atm w = -3.7 atm x 3.8 L = Latm w = Latm x J 1Latm = J 6.3

Enthalpy and the First Law of Thermodynamics 6.4  E = q + w  E =  H - P  V  H =  E + P  V q =  H and w = -P  V At constant pressure:

Enthalpy (H) is used to quantify the heat flow into or out of a system in a process that occurs at constant pressure.  H = H (products) – H (reactants)  H = heat given off or absorbed during a reaction at constant pressure H products < H reactants  H < 0 H products > H reactants  H > 0 6.4

Energy Change in Chemical Processes Endothermic: Exothermic: Reactions in which energy flows into the system as the reaction proceeds. Reactions in which energy flows out of the system as the reaction proceeds. + q system - q surroundings - q system + q surroundings

Exothermic process is any process that gives off heat – transfers thermal energy from the system to the surroundings. Endothermic process is any process in which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings. 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2H 2 O (l) + energy H 2 O (g) H 2 O (l) + energy energy + 2HgO (s) 2Hg (l) + O 2 (g) 6.2 energy + H 2 O (s) H 2 O (l)

Calorimetry The amount of heat absorbed or released during a physical or chemical change can be measured… …usually by the change in temperature of a known quantity of water 1 calorie is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1  C 1 BTU is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1  F

The specific heat (s) of a substance is the amount of heat (q) required to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius. The heat capacity (C) of a substance is the amount of heat (q) required to raise the temperature of a given quantity (m) of the substance by one degree Celsius. C = m x s Heat (q) absorbed or released: q = m x s x  t q = C x  t  t = t final - t initial 6.5

The Joule The unit of heat used in modern thermochemistry is the Joule 1 joule = calories

Because there is no way to measure the absolute value of the enthalpy of a substance, must I measure the enthalpy change for every reaction of interest? Establish an arbitrary scale with the standard enthalpy of formation (  H 0 ) as a reference point for all enthalpy expressions. f Standard enthalpy of formation (  H 0 ) is the heat change that results when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements at a pressure of 1 atm. f The standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its most stable form is zero.  H 0 (O 2 ) = 0 f  H 0 (O 3 ) = 142 kJ/mol f  H 0 (C, graphite) = 0 f  H 0 (C, diamond) = 1.90 kJ/mol f 6.6

Hess’s Law “In going from a particular set of reactants to a particular set of products, the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or a series of steps.”
