Study Notes

  • Thermochemistry studies the relationship between heat and chemical reactions. '
  • Enthalpy explains a reaction and how it changes.
  • Hess's Law calculates the change in enthalpy of a reaction.

Lesson 1 - Thermochemistry

  • Thermal energy is associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
  • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures.
  • The SI unit for heat is the joule.
  • Other units of heat include the kilojoule(kJ), calorie(cal), and Calorie(Cal).
  • YU 1 cal is equivalent to 4.184 J.
  • 1 Cal is equivalent to 1 000 cal.
  • A thermodynamic system is the substance under study in which a change occurs.
  • Thermodynamic surroundings consist of everything else in the vicinity of the system.
  • An open system can exchange mass and heat with its surroundings.
  • A closed system can only transfer energy, but not mass.
  • An isolated system cannot transfer mass or energy.
  • Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it is only exchanged between objects or transformed from one form to another.
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy: when energy is exchanged or transformed, the total amount of energy remains constant.
  • Internal energy is the total amount of kinetic and potential energy a system possesses.
  • The change in internal energy (ΔE) is calculated as Efinal - Einitial or Eproducts - Ereactants.
  • The change in the system's energy equals the negative change in the surroundings' energy, according to the formula: ΔEsystem = -ΔEsurrounding.
  • The change in the system's energy is the sum of heat (q) and work (w): ΔEsystem = q + w.
  • An endothermic process is a chemical reaction where heat is absorbed by the system, and q is positive.
  • An exothermic process is a chemical reaction where heat is released by the system, and q is negative.

Lesson 2 - Enthalpy of a Chemical Reaction

  • Enthalpy (H) is the internal energy (E) plus the product of pressure (P) and volume (V): H = E + PV
  • ΔH = ΔΕ + PAV
  • Enthalpy is the heat content of a chemical system.
  • At constant pressure, the change in enthalpy is equal to the heat gained or lost
  • ΔH = q.
  • Enthalpy is an extensive property.
  • The ΔH in the forward and reverse reactions is equal in size but opposite in sign 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
  • ΔH depends on the state of the products and reactants.
  • Thermochemical equations present heat changes
  • reactants = products + energy indicates an exothermic reaction.
  • reactants + energy = products indicates an endothermic reaction.
  • CaO(s) + H2O(1) → Ca(OH)2(s) + 62.5 kJ
  • 2NaHCO3(s) + 129 kJ → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)
  • ΔΗ = - (exothermic)
  • ΔH = + (endothermic) when expressing thermochemical equations with ΔH values.
  • Hess Law says if a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, ΔH for the overall reaction will be equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.
  • total enthalpy change depends only on the initial state of the reactants and the final state of the products.
  • The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of C to CO2 is -393.5 kJ/mol C, and the enthalpy for the combustion of CO to CO2 is -283.0 kJ/mol C.
  • C(s) + 1/2O2(g) → CO(g)
  • ΔΗ=?
  • Thermochemical equations are used to determine ΔH for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
  • standard enthalpy of formation (ΔΗf°) - change in enthalpy that accompanies the formation of one mole of the compound in its standard state
