Study Notes

  • Chemical reactions involve the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of new bonds in products.
  • Energy is absorbed when bonds break, and energy is released when new bonds form.
  • Bond energy quantifies the strength of a chemical bond, representing the energy needed to break it, measured in kJ/mol.

Enthalpy (H)

  • Enthalpy measures the total energy of a chemical system at a given pressure.
  • The change in enthalpy (ΔH) indicates whether a reaction absorbs or releases energy.

Exothermic Reactions

  • Energy is released because less energy is needed to break bonds in the reactants than is released when new bonds form in the products.
  • The energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.
  • Represented as: Reactants → Products + Energy

Endothermic Reactions

  • Energy is absorbed because more energy is needed to break bonds in the reactants than is released when new bonds form in the products.
  • The energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants.
  • Represented as: Reactants + Energy → Products

Heat of Reaction (ΔH)

  • Represents the change in enthalpy, calculated as: ΔH = Eproducts - Ereactants.
  • In exothermic reactions, ΔH is less than zero (ΔH < 0), indicating energy is released.
  • An example of an exothermic reaction is: H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
  • In endothermic reactions, ΔH is greater than zero (ΔH > 0), indicating energy is absorbed.
  • An example of an endothermic reaction is: C(s) + H2O(l) → CO(g) + H2(g)
  • Units for ΔH are kJ/mol, representing energy absorbed or released per mole of product.

Writing Equations Using ΔH

  • Exothermic reaction: C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g), ΔH = -393 kJ/mol or C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + 393 kJ/mol.
  • Endothermic reaction: C(s) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO(g), ΔH = +131 kJ/mol or C(s) + H2O(g) + 131 kJ/mol → H2(g) + CO(g).

Energy Changes Graphically

  • Exothermic: Energy of reactants is higher, graph drops as reaction progresses
  • Endothermic: Energy of reactants is lower, graph rises as reaction progresses.
  • The energy graphs depict the difference in energy between reactants and products as ΔH.
  • In exothermic reactions, the equation is: Reactants → Products + Energy
  • In endothermic reactions, the equation is: Reactants + Energy → Products

Activation Energy Definition

  • The minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction, which breaks bonds in reactants.

Exothermic Reaction Example (H2(g) + F2(g) → 2HF(g))

  • Bonds between H atoms in H2 and F atoms in F2 break.
  • New bonds between H and F atoms form to create HF.
  • The reaction releases energy and ΔH is negative.
  • The energy diagram involves activation energy and an activated complex, followed by energy release.

Endothermic Reaction Example (O2(g) + N2(g) → 2NO(g))

  • Bonds in O2 and N2 break.
  • New bonds form between O and N atoms to create NO.
  • The reaction absorbs energy and ΔH is positive.
  • The energy diagram involves high activation energy and an activated complex, followed by energy absorption.

Activated Complex

  • It is a transient structure where bonds in reactants are breaking and new bonds in products are forming.
  • The activated complex exists briefly at the highest energy point of the reaction.
  • Energy graphs show an initial rise in energy to the activated complex, followed by a fall (exothermic) or further rise (endothermic) to the products.
