THERMOCHEMISTRY

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

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

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???

 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 1 L atm = J

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

Endothermic Reactions

Exothermic Reactions

Enthalpy – flow of heat abbreviated H, but always represented as  H at constant pressure,  H =  E + P  V The sign of  H indicates if system is gaining or losing energy

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 Joule The unit of heat used in modern thermochemistry is the Joule 1 calorie = joules

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.” Rules: If the reaction is reversed, the sign of ∆H is changed If the reaction is multiplied, so is ∆ H
