Study Notes
Hess's Law and Enthalpy Changes
- Hess's Law is used to calculate enthalpy changes for reactions.
- The goal is to arrange given reactions to align with a desired reaction allowing indirect calculation of the enthalpy change.
Determining Enthalpy Change (ΔH)
- Reactions I and III are endothermic, meaning they absorb heat
- Reaction II is exothermic, meaning it releases heat
- To align with the desired reaction, the given reactions are manipulated by reversing them and multiplying them to match the target equation.
- When a reaction is reversed, the sign of its enthalpy change is also reversed.
- When a reaction is multiplied by a factor, its enthalpy change is multiplied by the same factor.
- By summing the manipulated reactions and their corresponding enthalpy changes, the overall enthalpy change for the desired reaction can be determined.
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
- The enthalpy of formation (ΔHºf) is the standard enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its elements in their reference states.
- Reference state refers to the most stable form of an element at a specified temperature (usually 25°C) and 1 bar of pressure.
- The reference state of hydrogen is H2(g), mercury is Hg(l), and carbon is graphite.
- Elements can exist in multiple forms, the most stable form is the reference state
- The standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its most stable form is defined as zero because no formation is needed.
Calculating Enthalpy Change (ΔH) for a Reaction
- Values can be used to calculate ΔH for any chemical reaction if all compounds appear in tables.
- The enthalpy change for a reaction (ΔHrxn) can be calculated using the standard enthalpies of formation (ΔHºf) of the reactants and products: ΔHrxn = ΣnΔHºf(products) - ΣnΔHºf(reactants).
- Where "n" represents the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
Energy in Foods
- Energy in food is the energy released when food is consumed and metabolized.
- Energy in food comes from macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
- The energy value of food is measured in calories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ).
- Carbohydrates provide 4 kcal/gram.
- Proteins provide 4 kcal/gram.
- Fats provide 9 kcal/gram and are the most energy-dense nutrient.
- Alcohol provides 7 kcal/gram but has no nutritional benefits.
- Fiber has no usable energy but aids digestion.
Fuels
- Fuels are substances containing stored chemical energy that can be released through a chemical reaction.
- This energy is released as heat and used to power engines, generate electricity, or provide heating.
- The amount of energy in a fuel depends on its chemical composition and molecular structure.
- Fuels can be converted into energy using combustion or fuel cells.
- The energy value of a fuel is measured in megajoules (MJ), kilocalories (kcal), or British Thermal Units (BTU).
- Common fuels include methane, gasoline, diesel, coal, ethanol, biodiesel, butane, propane, hydrogen, wood, and charcoal.
Spontaneous Processes
- A spontaneous process occurs naturally without continuous external energy input after it has started.
- Spontaneity does not equate to speed, some spontaneous reactions are slow.
- Spontaneity can depend on experimental conditions, such as temperature and pressure for ice melting or freezing.
- Exothermicity does not guarantee spontaneity.
