What is Energy?
- Energy is the capacity to supply heat or do work.
- Energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total energy remains the same.
- During a chemical or physical change energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can change form.
- The First Law of Thermodynamics states Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
- The total energy of the universe is constant.
Heat and Specific Heat Capacity
- Heat (q) is energy gained or lost as heat.
- Specific heat capacity (C) is the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin).
Energy and Changes of State
- Heat of fusion is the energy transferred as heat to convert a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point.
- Heat of vaporization is the energy transferred as heat to convert a substance from a liquid to a gas at its boiling point.
- Temperature is constant during a change of state.
Enthalpy (H)
- Enthalpy is the heat content of a chemical reaction carried out at constant pressure.
- ∆H is the change in enthalpy.
- ∆H = Hfinal - Hinitial = qp
- ∆H is a state function.
- ∆H= Hproduct - Hreactant
What is a State Function?
- A state function is a system property that depends only on the system's current state, not how it reached that state.
- Examples include energy and enthalpy.
- Work and heat are not state functions, as their values depend on the path taken.
Hess's Law and Energy diagrams
- Manipulate the equation by adding or subtracting reactions to find different enthalpy changes, which can then be added and subtracted to give the enthalpy change for the final reaction.
- Add and subtract reactants and products.
- What you do to reactants and products must be done to the enthalpy values.
- Cancel what appears on both sides of an equation.
- Look at what needs to be cancelled and placed on the correct side.
- Focus on numbers last.
ΔH° is the enthalpy of formation
- ΔH° is the heat required to form one mole of a compound from its elements in their standard states.
- Standard conditions: 1 atm, 1 M, s, l, g
- ΔH° of an element is zero (by definition).
Predicting Spontaneity under standard conditions
- This table predicts whether a reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions by considering if enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) are positive or negative.
Quantifying Entropy Changes
- Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system.
- Entropy increases with increasing temperature.
Reaction Quotient
- For a general chemical reaction, aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, the reaction quotient can be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations or partial pressures.
Different equilibrium constants
- Equilibrium constants can be expressed in terms of either molar concentrations or partial pressures.
- The relationship between the constants is Kp = Kc(RT)∆n
Disturbing a Chemical Equilibrium: Le Châtelier's principle
- Equilibrium can be disturbed by changing temperature, concentration, or volume (for systems involving gases).
- If a stress is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will shift in a direction that reduces the stress.
What is pH?
- pH stands for "potentia hydrogenii" (power of Hydrogen).
- p[H+] = -log10[H+]
Equilibrium constant of water
- 2H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
- Kw = [H₃O⁺] [OH⁻]/[H₂O]₂
- The equilibrium constant at 25°C is Kw =1.0 x 10⁻¹⁴ mol²/L²
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
- pH = pKa + log10([A⁻]/[HA]), where HA is the acid and A⁻ is its conjugate base.
Gibbs Free Energy
- Nature favors processes with negative enthalpy (-H) and positive entropy (+S).
- The Gibbs free energy (G) predicts if a process is spontaneous.
- ΔG = ΔH - TΔS where ΔH is enthalpy change, ΔS is entropy change, and T is temperature.
How can we calculate the Gibbs Free Energy?
- ΔG° is a state function.
- ΔG° = Σn∆G°(products) – Σm∆G°(reactants)
- ΔG° = ΔH° − TΔS°
- Enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) changes at standard state conditions.
Reaction Rate and Stoichiometry
- Rate = change in concentration/change in time
- aA + bB → cC + dD -1/aΔ[A]/Δt = -1/bΔ[B]/Δt = 1/cΔ[C]/Δt = 1/dΔ[D]/Δt
- Rate of reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or product over the change in time.
Example: Peroxide decomposition
- 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
- Rate of peroxide decomposition can be calculated
Integrated Rate Laws
- Integrated rate laws relate reactant concentration to time for zero-order, first-order, and second-order reactions.
- The rate of a zero-order reaction is constant.
For 1st order reaction
- For a first-order reaction, the half-life is independent of concentration.
Activation energy (Ea)
- The activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
Collision theory
- Reaction rates are affected by collisions among molecules, the correct orientation of colliding molecules, and the energy of colliding molecules.
Arrhenius equation
- The Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant (k) to temperature (T), activation energy (Ea), and the frequency factor (A).
- k = Ae-Ea/RT.
Catalysis
- Catalysts increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy.
- Enzymes are biological catalysts.
Enzymes – Nature's catalysts
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate reactions.
- The reactant (substrate) binds to the enzyme, the chemical reaction takes place at the active site, and the products leave, repeating the cycle.
Models for substrate binding to enzymes
- Enzymes can exhibit either lock-and-key or induced-fit models for substrate binding.
