Study Notes
Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
- The system refers to the reaction or process, while the surroundings refer to the environment outside the system.
- Heat is the energy transferred between the system and its surroundings due to temperature differences.
Types of Processes
- Exothermic process: releases heat, decreasing temperature.
- Endothermic process: absorbs heat, increasing temperature.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- States that the energy of the universe is constant.
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
- Internal energy (E) is the total energy from the sum of potential and kinetic energies.
- ΔΕ = Ef - Ei, where ΔE is the change in internal energy, Ef is the final internal energy, and Ei is the initial internal energy.
Mathematical Representation of the First Law
- ΔE = q + w, where ΔE is the change in internal energy, q is the heat added to the system, and w is the work done on the system.
Problems and Applications
- Sample Problem 1: Given q = -100 J and w = +50 J, find ΔE. Solution: ΔE = -100 J + 50 J = -50 J.
- Sample Problem 2: A gas in a system has constant pressure. The surroundings lose 62 J of heat, and the internal energy is 536 J. Find the work done by or on the system. Solution: w = ΔE - q = 536 J - 62 J = 474 J.
Enthalpy of Reaction
- Enthalpy (ΔH) is the heat transferred between the system and its surroundings under constant pressure.
- Enthalpy is the difference between the enthalpy of the system before and after the process.
- ΔH = Hf - Hi, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, Hf is the final enthalpy, and Hi is the initial enthalpy.
Standard Enthalpy of Reaction
- ΔH°AB = ΣH(CDEFGHI) - ΣH(JKGHKBHI), where ΔH°AB is the standard enthalpy of reaction, CDEFGHI are the products, and JKGHKBHI are the reactants.
Thermochemical Equations
- A balanced chemical equation showing the associated enthalpy change.
- Equation: ΔH = energy (energy of products - energy of reactants), where ΔH is the enthalpy change.
