Topic 15.1 - Standard enthalpy change of a reaction

Standard Enthalpy Changes Hana Amir and Madeley

Definition Any reaction that depends on temperature, pressure and state The enthalpy change happens when all reactants and products are in their standard state.

Some enthalpies Enthalpy of reaction Enthalpy of formation Enthalpy of neutralization Enthalpy of hydration Enthalpy of combustion Enthalpy of solution Enthalpy of atomization

Standard Enthalpy Changes of Reaction Definition: The heat change when molar quantities of reactants as specified by the chemical equation react to form products at standard conditions It depends in the physical state of reactants and the products and the conditions under which the reaction occurs. Standard conditions are: 298K (25o C) and 1.00*105 Pa

Standard Enthalpy change of Formation Enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of substance is formed from its elements in the standard state under standard conditions. Standard conditions Temperature: 298K (25o C) Pressure: 1.00*105 Pa 2C(graphite) + 3H2(g) + 1/2O2(g)-------> C2H5OH (I)

All elements in their standard states (oxygen gas, solid carbon in the form of graphite, etc.) have a standard enthalpy of formation of zero, as there is no change involved. Eg: O(g) + O(g) ---->O2(g)

Energy Cycle ΔHѳreaction ΔHѳf(reactants) ΔHѳf(products) Products Elements

From the diagram we get: The chemical change elements to products can either occur directly or indirectly . The Total enthalpy change must be the same for both routes. Σ∆Hѳf (Products)= Σ∆Hѳf (Reactants) + ∆Hѳreaction This gives the general expression of: ∆Hѳ reaction = Σ∆Hѳf (Products) - Σ∆Hѳf (Reactants)

Example Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)-------- 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) Standard change of formation: ∆Hѳf /kJ mol-1 C3H8(g) : -105 CO2(g): -394 H2O(l): -286

Steps: Write down the equation with the corresponding enthalpies of formation underneath: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)-------- 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) (-105) 0 3(-394) 4(-286) Note: The standard enthalpies of formation are given in per mole , hence, they should be multiplied by the numbers of moles in the balance equation .

∆Hѳreaction = 3(-394) + 4(-286) -(-105) = -2221 KJ mol-1 ∆Hѳreaction = Σ∆Hѳf (Products) - Σ∆Hѳf (Reactants) ∆Hѳreaction = 3(-394) + 4(-286) -(-105) = -2221 KJ mol-1

Thermochemical Equations Balanced chemical equation for a reaction including the enthalpy of the reaction shown immediately after the equation. In a thermochemical equation, the coefficients represent moles and can therefore be fractional. The following is an example IB Data booklet > -227 kj mol -1 Ethanol (C2H5OH) is made from the elements (C (Graphite)) and hydrogen (H2(g)) and oxygen (O2(g)) __C (graphite) + __H2 (g) +___O2(g)-----------> C2H5OH(I) ∆H=227kj mol -1 Balance the C, H and 0 2C (graphite) + 3H2 (g) +1/2 O2(g)-------------- C2H5OH(I) ∆H=227 kj mol -1 13

Standard enthalpy change of Combustion

What is standard enthalpy change of combustion? The standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of substance burns completely under the standard conditions of 25 ℃ and 1 atm. Eg: C6H14(l) + 9O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 7H2O(l) The standard enthalpy of combustion is always negative

Exercise! Write down the enthalpy of combustion equations for the following reactions! Methane CH4 (g)+ 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) Ethanol C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) Propane C3H8(g)+ 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)

Calculating standard enthalpy change ΔHѳreaction Reactants Products ΔHѳc(reactants) ΔHѳc(products) Combustion Products ΣΔHѳc(reactants) = ΣΔHѳ(products) + ΔH ΔH = ΣΔHѳc(reactants) - ΣΔHѳc(products)
