Study Notes
Course Information
- Course: CHM 101 (Introductory Chemistry I)
- Topic: Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry Overview
- Thermochemistry is the study of heat changes during chemical processes, either at constant volume or pressure.
Subtopics
- Balancing of intermolecular forces
- Order-disorder phenomena
- Entropy, free energy, energy effects
- Exothermic and endothermic changes
- Enthalpy of reaction, Hess's law of enthalpy summation (with calculations)
- Heats of neutralization, combination, and formation
- Bond dissociation energies (with calculations)
- Free energy and spontaneous change
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces (IMFs) are forces between molecules or particles, rather than within molecules
- Intramolecular forces hold molecules together while IMFs hold multiple molecules together, affecting a substance's properties
- Examples include the changes of state like liquid to gas, solid to liquid, with molecules remaining intact but with force changes
- The strength of IMFs varies widely; however, IMFs between small molecules are typically weaker compared to intramolecular forces within a molecule.
- Bulk properties like melting/boiling points are indicators of the strength of attractive forces between atoms/molecules
What Causes Intermolecular Forces?
- Fluctuations in electron cloud (instantaneous dipoles): Occurs in non-polar molecules due to temporary uneven electron distribution.
- Asymmetrical charge distribution (polar molecules): Driven by differences in electronegativity which create permanent dipoles, differences in charge distribution caused by electrons' uneven distribution lead to polar molecules. These are strong attractive forces that happen usually with bonds between elements with large electronegativity differences.
Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Dispersion forces (London dispersion forces): Weakest force, present in all substances with electrons, increases with molecular weight due to more electrons, which leads to larger instantaneous dipoles.
- Dipole-induced dipole forces: Weak forces—permanent dipoles inducing dipoles in non-polar molecules due to electron disturbance.
- Dipole-dipole forces: Electrostatic attractions between permanent dipoles, stronger or weaker based on dipole strength. Stronger forces between molecules with larger dipoles.
- Hydrogen bonding: Special type of dipole-dipole interaction between polar molecules where hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (e.g., F, O, N). Very strong; it's strongest dipole-dipole interactions. -Examples like HF, H2O, NH3. -Relatively high boiling points, melting points for small molecules are possible due to strong forces between molecules.
Ion-dipole and Ion-induced dipole forces
- Ion-dipole: Interactions between full charges of ions and partial charges (dipoles) in polar molecules. These attractions increase with higher charge and smaller size of the involved ion (strongest between ions with high charges.)
- Ion-induced dipole: Interactions between ions and nonpolar molecules, causing distortions in electron clouds in nonpolar particles
Balancing of Intermolecular Forces
- Kinetic energy of particles (determined by temperature) vs. attractive intermolecular forces determines the phase of a substance (solid, liquid, or gas)
- Higher kinetic energy makes gas more likely as particles move more apart,
- Lower kinetic energy leads to liquids/solids
Practice Questions
- Questions on intermolecular forces, hydrogen bonding, and phase changes based on temperature changes in different substances. Including identifying the strongest intermolecular force in a given substance or comparing the differences in boiling/melting points, etc.
