Study Notes
Thermodynamics Introduction
- Thermodynamics is a branch of chemistry that studies the flow of heat.
Thermodynamic System
- A thermodynamic system is a specific portion of matter with a defined boundary.
- The boundary can be real or imaginary, fixed or deformable.
- Surroundings are anything outside the system that influences its behavior.
- A boundary is a closed surface around the system, allowing energy or mass to enter or exit.
Types of Systems
- Isolated System: Cannot exchange energy or mass with its surroundings. Examples include a thermos flask.
- Closed System: Can exchange energy but not mass. Examples include refrigerators, piston-cylinder assemblies.
- Open System: Can exchange both energy and mass. Examples include a steam turbine, a pot of water boiling in an open vessel.
State Variables
- They are measurable properties of a system.
- Examples include pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), and amount of substance (n).
- At least two independent state variables are needed to describe a system's state.
State Function
- A state function's value is independent of the path taken to reach that state.
- Path functions depend on the path taken.
Thermodynamic Processes
- A thermodynamic process is an energy shift within a system, correlating with changes in pressure, volume and internal energy.
- Examples include:
- Adiabatic: No heat transfer.
- Isochoric: No change in volume.
- Isobaric: No change in pressure.
- Isothermal: No change in temperature.
Thermodynamic Equilibrium
- All properties of a system remain constant.
- When isolated, no change occurs in the value of its attributes.
- Thermal equilibrium: Constant temperature throughout the system.
- Mechanical equilibrium: No pressure variation in the system.
- Chemical equilibrium: System's composition stays constant over time.
- Phase equilibrium: Mass is at an equilibrium level in systems with multiple phases.
Thermodynamic Properties
- Intensive properties are independent of the system's size (mass), examples are temperature, pressure and density.
- Extensive properties depend on the system's size (mass), examples are volume, total energy, and mass
Ideal Gas Model
- An idealized representation of gases, neglecting intermolecular forces.
- Assumptions include:
- Point-like molecules.
- Random motion.
- Elastic collisions.
Ideal Gas Law
- PV = nRT where:
- P = pressure
- V = volume
- n = number of moles
- R = ideal gas constant
- T = absolute temperature
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- Total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of partial pressures of individual gases.
Clapeyron Diagram
- A diagram showing various thermodynamic processes.
Temperature
- A measure of hotness or coldness.
- Three common scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.
- Kelvin is the absolute scale (zero Kelvin is absolute zero)
