Chemistry: Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions Standards: 7b. Students know chemical processes can either release (exothermic) or absorb (endothermic) thermal energy. 7c. Students know energy is released when a material condenses or freezes (exothermic) and is absorbed when a material evaporates or melts (endothermic).

What is Energy? Energy Kinetic energy (E K ) Potential energy (E P ) Energy due to motion Energy due to postition (stored energy) ---> The ability to do work

Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy E = E K + E P Kinetic energy & potential energy are interchangeable Ball thrown upwards slows & loses kinetic energy but gains potential energy The reverse happens as it falls back to the ground

Law of Conservation of Energy Law of Conservation of Energy: the total energy of the universe is constant and can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed.

Systems & Surroundings the world is divided into a system and its surroundings A system is the part of the world we want to study (e.g. a reaction mixture in a flask) The surroundings consist of everything else outside the system SYSTEM CLOSED OPEN ISOLATED

OPEN SYSTEM: can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings (e.g. open reaction flask, rocket engine) CLOSED SYSTEM: can exchange only energy with the surroundings (matter remains fixed) e.g. a sealed reaction flask ISOLATED SYSTEM: can exchange neither matter nor energy with its surroundings (e.g. a thermos flask)

What is heat? HEAT is the energy that transfers from one object to another when the two things are at different temperatures and in some kind of contact e.g. kettle heats on a stove cup of tea cools down (loses energy as heat) Heat is energy in transit

UNITS OF ENERGY S.I. unit of energy is the joules (J) Heat and work ( energy in transit) also measured in joules 1 kJ (kilojoule) = 10 3 J Calorie (cal): 1 cal is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 o C 1 cal = J

ENTHALPY (H) Heat content of a substance  H = H products - H reactants  H difference of heat content of products and reactants

First Law of Thermodynamics: *the internal energy of an isolated system is constant energy is always conserved *energy is always conserved Signs (+/-) will tell you if energy is entering or leaving a system + indicates energy entering a system - indicates energy leaving a system

EXOTHERMIC & ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS Exothermic process: a change (e.g. a chemical reaction) that releases heat. Burning fossil fuels is an exothermic reaction

Endothermic process: a change (a chemical reaction) that requires (or absorbs) heat. Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction (requires energy input from sun) Forming Na + and Cl - ions from NaCl is an endothermic process

Measuring Heat reaction Exothermic reaction, heat given off & temperature of water rises Endothermic reaction, heat taken in & temperature of water drops

All chemical reactions either release or absorb heat Exothermic reactions: Reactants products + heat as energy Endothermic reactions: Reactants + heat as energy products e.g. burning fossil fuels e.g. boiling water

 ∆H (‘delta H’) is the symbol for the ‘change in energy’.  In an exothermic reaction the products have less energy than the reactants.  ∆H is negative for an exothermic reaction.

 In an endothermic reaction the products have more energy than the reactants.  ∆H is positive for an endothermic reaction.

Evaporation Energy has to be supplied to a liquid to enable it to overcome forces that hold molecules together endothermic process (positive) Melting Energy is supplied to a solid to enable it to vibrate more vigorously until molecules can move past each other and flow as a liquid endothermic process ( positive) Freezing Liquid releases energy and allows molecules to settle into a lower energy state and form a solid exothermic process ( negative) (we remove heat from water when making ice in freezer)

Bond Strengths bond breaking requires energy bond making releases energy Lattice (ex. NaCl) energy is required to break up solids

WHY DO THINGS DISSOLVE? Substances dissolve because energy and matter tend to disperse (spread out in disorder) If it dissolves and solution heats up : exothermic If it dissolves and solution cools down: endothermic

Second Law of Thermodynamics: *the disorder (or entropy) of a system tends to increase *any physical or chemical change must result in an increase in the entropy of the universe ENTROPY (S) Entropy is a measure of disorder Low entropy (S) = low disorder High entropy (S) = greater disorder

Total entropy change entropy change of system entropy change of surroundings += Dissolving disorder of solution disorder of surroundings must be an overall increase in disorder for dissolving to occur

1. If we freeze water, disorder of the water molecules decreases, entropy decreases 2. If we boil water, disorder of the water molecules increases, entropy increases (vapor is a highly disordered state)
