Study Notes
Chapter Objectives
- Understand energy conversions, their economic importance, and associated losses.
- Define work and heat utilizing standard sign conventions.
- Explain state functions and their significance in thermodynamics.
- Articulate the first law of thermodynamics both in words and as an equation.
- Utilize calorimetric data to calculate changes in energy (ΔE) and enthalpy (ΔH) for chemical processes.
- Define standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) and construct formation reactions for compounds.
- Summarize and apply Hess’s Law.
Energy Use and the World Economy
- Energy consumption reflects a nation’s economic growth; correlated with Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- In 2011, the U.S. energy supply totaled 107.66 quadrillion Btu, with domestic production at 70.47 quadrillion Btu and imports at 31.02 quadrillion Btu.
- Major energy sources in the U.S. include coal, natural gas, crude oil, NGPL, nuclear, and renewable energies.
- Energy consumption distribution: Residential (22%), Commercial (19%), Industrial (31%), Transportation (28%).
- Nearly half of domestic energy goes to electricity production, experiencing significant conversion losses.
Forms of Energy
- Two primary types of energy:
- Potential Energy: Related to an object's position.
- Kinetic Energy: Associated with motion, calculated as KE = mv².
- Internal Energy: Sum of kinetic and potential energy of atoms/molecules.
- Chemical Energy: Energy change during chemical reactions; includes various forms: radiant, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and nuclear.
Heat and Work
- Heat signifies energy flow due to temperature difference, flowing from warmer to cooler objects.
- Work involves energy transfer through force moving a mass against resistance, commonly represented as pressure-volume work in chemistry.
- Example of PV-work: Releasing air from an inflated balloon.
Energy Units
- The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, equated as 1 J = 1 kg m²/s².
- Other units include:
- Btu: Energy to raise 1 lb of water by 1°F, equivalent to 1055 J.
- Calorie: Energy to raise 1 g of water by 1°C, equivalent to 4.184 J.
Energy Transformation and Conservation
- Energy transformation must conserve total energy, ensuring energy conversions equal the total present energy.
- Defined system and surroundings play a role in energy flow, with boundaries separating them.
- Energy flow in a system can occur as heat (q) or work (w), expressed as ΔE = q + w.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- States energy can transform forms but cannot be created or destroyed; ΔEuniverse = ΔEsurroundings + ΔEsystem = 0.
Waste Energy
- Energy conversion is inefficient; not all heat converts to work, leading to waste energy and potential thermal pollution.
- Thermal pollution occurs from temperature changes in bodies of water due to waste heat.
Heat Capacity and Calorimetry
- Calorimetry measures heat flow into/out of systems, influenced by mass (m), type of material, and temperature change (ΔT).
- Specific Heat Capacity (c): Amount of heat needed to raise 1 g of a substance by 1°C.
- Molar Heat Capacity (Cp): Heat necessary to raise 1 mole of a substance by 1°C, specific to compound and phase.
Calorimetric Measurements
- Heat absorbed/calculated using q = mcΔT or q = nCpΔT equations.
- Using calorimetry, the system's heat flow equals the negative of surroundings: qsystem = - qsurroundings.
- Calibration of calorimeter constants allows the assessment of heat release/absorption in reactions.
Example Problem Applications
- Problems demonstrate calculations using heat, mass, specific heat capacities, and conversion equations relevant to calorimetry measurements and thermodynamic principles.
