Definition

• Thermodynamics- is the study of energy transformations.

Chemical Reactions

• Chemical reactions involve not just the conversion of reactants into products, but also involve an energy change in the form of heat—heat released as the result of a reaction, or heat absorbed as a reaction proceeds.

• Energy changes accompany all chemical reactions and are due to rearranging of chemical bonding.

Making Bonds

• Addition of energy is always a requirement for the breaking of bonds but the breaking of bonds in and of itself does not release energy.

• Energy release occurs when new bonds are formed.

Bond Energy

• If more energy is released when new bonds form than was required to break existing bonds, then the difference will result in an overall release of energy.

• If, on the other hand, more energy is required to break existing bonds than is released when new bonds form, the difference will result overall in energy being absorbed.

Overall Reaction Energy

• Whether or not an overall reaction releases or requires energy depends upon the final balance between the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

Energy is...• the ability to do work or produce heat.• conserved.• made of heat and work.• a state function. (Energy is a property that is

determined by specifying the condition or “state” (e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.) of a system or substance.)

• independent of the path, or how you get from point A to B.

Thermodynamics

State functions are properties that are determined by the state of the system, regardless of how that condition was achieved.

Energy

• While the total internal energy of a system (E) cannot be determined, changes in internal energy (E) can be determined.

• The change in internal energy will be the amount of energy exchanged between a system and its surroundings during a physical or chemical change.

Δ E = E final - E initial

Definitions

• Work is a force acting over a distance.

• Heat is energy transferred between objects because of temperature difference. (Heat is not a property of a system or substance and is not a state function. Heat is a process—the transfer of energy from a warm to a cold object.)

System vs Surroundings

• The Universe is divided into two halves.• system and the surroundings.

• In a chemistry setting, a system includes all substances undergoing a physical or chemical change.

• The surroundings would include everything else that is not part of the system.

Heat

• Most commonly, energy is exchanged between a system and its surroundings in the form of heat.

• Heat will be transferred between objects at different temperatures.

• Thermochemistry is the study of thermal energy changes.

Definition of Heat

• Heat energy (or just heat) is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particle. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transfered by particles bouncing into each other.

• http://physics.about.com/od/glossary/g/heat.htm

Definition of Temperature

• Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in an object or system and can be measured with a thermometer or a calorimeter. It is a means of determining the internal energy contained within the system.

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at different temperatures.

Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions

Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy.

Temperature = Thermal Energy

Heat vs Temperature

• Note that temperature is different from heat, though the two concepts are linked. Temperature is a measure of the internal energy of the system, while heat is a measure of how energy is transferred from one system (or body) to another. The greater the heat absorbed by a material, the more rapidly the atoms within the material begin to move, and thus the greater the rise in temperature.

• http://physics.about.com/od/glossary/g/temperature.htm

Exo vs Endo

• Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.

• Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings.

Same rules for heat and work

• Heat given off is “negative”.• Heat absorbed is “positive”.

• Work done by the system on the surroundings is negative.

• Work done on the system by the surroundings is positive.

First Law of Thermodynamics• The energy of the universe is constant.• It is also called the: • Law of conservation of energy.

q = heat w = work• In a chemical system, the energy exchanged

between a system and its surroundings can beaccounted for by heat (q) and work (w).

DE = q + w• Take the system’s point of view to decide signs.

Thermodynamics

6.7

DE = q + w

DE is the change in internal energy of a system

q is the heat exchange between the system and the surroundings

w is the work done on (or by) the system

w = -PDV when a gas expands against a constant external pressure

Enthalpy and the First Law of Thermodynamics

6.7

DE = q + w

At constant pressure, q = DH and w = -PDV

DE = DH - PDV

DH = DE + PDV

Conservation of Energy

• Energy exchanged between a system and its surroundings can be considered to off set one another.

• The same amount of energy leaving a system will enter the surroundings (or vice versa), so the total amount of energy remains constant.

Metric Units

• The SI (Metric System) unit for all forms of energy is the joule (J).

Heat and Work

• DE = q + w• - q is exothermic -q = -∆H• +q is endothermic• -w is done “by” the system• +w is done “on” the system

• Note: • ∆H stands for enthalpy which is the heat of

reaction

Practice Problem

• A gas absorbs 28.5 J of heat and then performs 15.2 J of work. The change in internal

• energy of the gas is:(a) 13.3 J(b) - 13.3 J(c) 43.7 J(d) - 43.7 J(e) none of the above

Answer

• (b) E = q + w• 28.5 J - 15.2 J = + 13.3 J

Practice Problem

Which of the following statements correctly describes the signs of q and w for the following exothermic process at 1 atmosphere pressure and 370 Kelvin?

H2O(g) → H2O(l)

(a) q and w are both negative(b) q is positive and w is negative(c) q is negative and w is positive(d) q and w are both positive(e) q and w are both zero

Answer

• (c). An exothermic indicates q is negative and the gas is condensing to a liquid so it is exerting less pressure on its surroundings indicating w is positive.

What is work?

• Work is a force acting over a distance.w= F x DdP = F/ aread = V/areaw= (P x area) x D (V/area)= PDV

• Work can be calculated by multiplying pressure by the change in volume at constant pressure.

• Use units of liter•atm or L•atm

Pressure and Volume Work

• Work refers to a force that moves an object over a distance.

• Only pressure/volume work (i.e., the expansion/contraction of a gas) is of significance in chemical systems and only when there is an increase or decrease in the amount of gas present.

Work needs a sign

• If the volume of a gas increases, the system has done work on the surroundings.

• work is negative• w = - PDV• Expanding work is negative.• Contracting, surroundings do work on the

system W is positive.• 1 L•atm = 101.3 J

Example

• When, in a chemical reaction, there are more moles of product gas compared toreactant gas, the system can be thought of as performing work on its surroundings (making w < 0) because it is “pushing back,” or moving back the atmosphere to make room for the expanding gas. When the reverse is true, w > 0.

Compressing and Expanding Gases

• Compressing gas– Work on the system is positive– Work is going into the system

• Expanding gas– Work on the surroundings is negative– Work is leaving the system

Clarification Info

• If the reaction is performed in a rigid container, there may be a change in pressure,but if there is no change in volume, the atmosphere outside the container didn’t “move” and without movement, no work is done by or on the system.

• If there is no change in volume (V= 0), then no work is done by or on the system (w= 0) and the change in internal energy will be entirely be due to the heat involved ( ΔE = q).

Examples• What amount of work is done when 15 L of

gas is expanded to 25 L at 2.4 atm pressure?• If 2.36 J of heat are absorbed by the gas

above. what is the change in energy?• How much heat would it take to change the

gas without changing the internal energy of the gas?

Enthalpy

• The symbol for Enthalpy is H• H = E + PV (that’s the definition)• DH = DE + PDV (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.

DH = H (products) – H (reactants)

DH = heat given off or absorbed during a reaction at constant pressure

Hproducts < Hreactants

DH < 0Hproducts > Hreactants

DH > 0 6.3

DH = DE + PDV

Using DH = DE + PDV

• the heat at constant pressure qp can be

calculated from:

• DE = qp + w (if w = - PDV then…)

• DE = qp – PDV (now rearrange)

• qp = DE + P DV = DH

Examples of Enthapy Changes

• KOH(s) → K(aq) + OH-1 (aq) ΔHsolution = - 57.8 kJ mol1

• C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) ΔHcombustion = -2221kJ/mol

• H2O(s) → H2O(l) ΔHfusion = 6.0 kJ/mol

• Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) → Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) ΔHreaction - 852 kJ/mol

• Ca(s) + O2(g) H2(g) → Ca(OH)2(s) ΔHformation - 986 kJ/mol1

3 Methods

• There are a variety of methods for calculating overall enthalpy changes that you should be familiar with.

• The three most common are the:

1. the use of Heats of Formation 2. Hess’s Law 3. the use of Bond Energies

Heat of Reaction

• To compare heats of reaction for different reactions, it is necessary to know the temperatures at which heats of reaction are measured and the physical states of the reactants and products.

• Look in the Appendix of the textbook to find Standard Enthapy tables.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation• Measurements have been made and tables constructed

of Standard Enthalpies of Formation with reactants in their “standard states”.

• Use the symbol DHºf

• Standard state is the most stable physical state of reactants at:

1 atmosphere pressurespecified temperature—usually 25 °C 1 M solutions

• For solids which exist in more than one allotropic form, a specific allotrope must be specified.

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 (DH0) as a reference point for all enthalpy expressions.

f

Standard enthalpy of formation (DH0) 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.

DH0 (O2) = 0f

DH0 (O3) = 142 kJ/molf

DH0 (C, graphite) = 0f

DH0 (C, diamond) = 1.90 kJ/molf6.5

6.5

ΔH°formation

• It is important to recognize that the ΔH°formation (abbreviated as ΔH°f) is really just the heat of reaction for a chemical change involving the formation of a compound from its elements in their standard states.

Standard Enthalpies of Formation• The standard heat of formation is the

amount of heat needed to form 1 mole of a compound from its elements in their standard states.

• See the table in the Appendix • Remember: For an element the value is 0

Equation Practice

• You need to be able to write the equation correctly before solving the problem.

Try…• What is the equation for the formation of

NO2 ? Try writing the equation.

Practice Answer

• ½N2 (g) + O2 (g) ® NO2 (g)

• You must make one mole to meet the definition.

The standard enthalpy of reaction (DH0 ) is the enthalpy of a reaction carried out at 1 atm.

6.5

Hess’s Law: When reactants are converted to products, the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps.

(Enthalpy is a state function. It doesn’t matter how you get there, only where you start and end.)

Since we can manipulate the equations

• We can use heats of formation to figure out the heat of reaction.

• Lets do it with this equation.

• C2H5OH +3O2(g) ® 2CO2 + 3H2O

• which leads us to this rule. ( H products) - ( H reactants) = Hf

Hess’s Law

• Definition:• When a reaction may be expressed as the

algebraic sum of other reactions, the enthalpy change of the reaction is the algebraic sum of the enthalpy changes for the combined reactions.

Hess’ Law

• Enthalpy is a state function.• It is independent of the path.• We can add equations to come up with the

desired final product, and add the DH values.• Two rules to remember:• If the reaction is reversed the sign of DH is

changed• If the reaction is multiplied, so is DH

Enthalpy

• As enthalpy is an extensive property, the magnitude of an enthalpy change for a chemical reaction depends upon the quantity of material that reacts.

• This means: if the amount of reacting material in

an exothermic reaction is doubled, twice the quantity of heat energy will be released.

H2O (s) H2O (l) DH = 6.01 kJ

• The stoichiometric coefficients always refer to the number of moles of a substance

Thermochemical Equations

• If you reverse a reaction, the sign of DH changes

H2O (l) H2O (s) DH = -6.01 kJ

• If you multiply both sides of the equation by a factor n, then DH must change by the same factor n.

2H2O (s) 2H2O (l)DH = 2 x 6.01 = 12.0 kJ

H2O (s) H2O (l) DH = 6.01 kJ

For the oxidation of sulfur dioxide gas

• SO2(g) + ½O2(g) → SO3(g) ΔH° = - 99 kJ/mol

• Doubling the reaction results in:• 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

ΔH° = - 198 kJ/mol

Notice that if you double the reaction, you must double the ΔH° value.

Sign Change of ΔH

• 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

ΔH° = - 198 kJ/mol

• If the reaction is written as an endothermic reaction:

• 2SO3(g) → 2SO2(g) + O2(g)

ΔH° = + 198 kJ/mol

Tips for Hess’s Law Problems

• It is always a good idea to begin by looking for species that appear as reactants and products in the overall reaction.

• This will provide a clue as to whether a reaction needs to be reversed or not.

• Second, consider the coefficients of species that appear in the overall reaction.

• This will help determine whether a reaction needs to be multiplied before the overall summation.
