Study Notes
Chapter 9: Energy and Chemistry
- Economic growth is closely correlated with a nation's energy consumption, represented through Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- In 2011, the United States had an energy supply of 107.66 quadrillion Btu, with significant contributions from coal, natural gas, crude oil, nuclear, and renewable sources.
- Domestic production in 2011 accounted for 70.47 quadrillion Btu, while imports contributed 31.02 quadrillion Btu.
- Energy consumption distribution in the U.S. was as follows: residential (22%), commercial (19%), industrial (31%), and transportation (28%).
- Approximately two-thirds of the energy consumed for electricity generation is wasted due to conversion losses.
- Thermal pollution results from waste heat altering the temperature of water bodies, impacting ecosystems.
- Calorimetry is the technique used to measure heat flow in chemical reactions, with various dependencies including mass, type of material, and temperature change.
- Specific heat capacity (c) measures heat needed to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1ºC; molar heat capacity (Cp) applies to 1 mole of a substance.
- The formula for heat energy absorbed is represented as: ( q_{calorimeter} = C_{calorimeter} \times \Delta T_{calorimeter} ) and ( q_{reaction} = -q_{calorimeter} ).
Enthalpy Concepts
- Enthalpy (H) is the heat content of a system and is calculated using the relation ( H = E + PV ).
- Changes in enthalpy, ( \Delta H ), indicate whether a reaction is exothermic (releases heat, ( \Delta H < 0 )) or endothermic (absorbs heat, ( \Delta H > 0 )).
- Phase changes at constant pressure are characterized by enthalpy changes; boiling and freezing involve heat of vaporization (( \Delta H_{vap} )) and heat of condensation (( \Delta H_{cond} )).
- ( \Delta H ) for phase changes is substance-specific and measured in kJ/mol, calculated using the number of moles involved.
Hess’s Law and Thermodynamic Calculations
- Hess's law states the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of its pathway; only the initial and final states matter.
- Enthalpy changes can be calculated using tabulated data of standard molar enthalpies of formation.
- The formula for calculating enthalpy change for a reaction via Hess’s law is: [ \Delta H = \sum v_i \Delta H_f (products) - \sum v_j \Delta H_f (reactants) ]
- Practical examples include calculating the heat of combustion for various reactants, demonstrating the application of Hess’s law.
Example Problems
- Problems illustrate the use of calorimetry to determine energy density and the enthalpy changes related to phase transitions and chemical reactions, enhancing understanding of thermodynamic principles.
