Study Notes
Introduction to Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy, encompassing energy interconversions.
Heat
- Heat is a form of energy transferred between bodies at different temperatures.
- Heat flows from a higher-temperature body to a lower-temperature body when they are in contact.
- The SI unit of heat is the joule (J).
System and Surroundings
- A system is the part of the universe under investigation.
- The surroundings are the rest of the universe in contact with the system.
- A barrier separates the system from its surroundings.
Types of Systems
- Open system: allows transfer of both mass and energy.
- Closed system: allows transfer of energy but not mass.
- Isolated system: allows neither transfer of mass nor energy.
Law of Conservation of Energy (First Law of Thermodynamics)
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- The total energy of the universe remains constant.
- Energy transferred between a system and its surroundings can be in the form of heat or work.
Enthalpy
- Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic quantity representing the total heat content of a system.
- It's given by the formula H = E + PV where E is internal energy, P is pressure and V is volume.
Thermochemistry
- Thermochemistry examines the heat changes during chemical reactions.
- Enthalpy change (ΔH) describes the heat absorbed or released during a reaction at constant pressure.
- A positive ΔH indicates an endothermic reaction (heat absorbed).
- A negative ΔH indicates an exothermic reaction (heat released).
Hess's Law
- The overall enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway.
- The enthalpy change for a reaction can be determined by summing the enthalpy changes for individual steps involved in the reaction
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
- The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states.
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry is the measurement of heat changes.
- Calorimeters are instruments used to measure the heat absorbed or released during processes.
- Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Gas Laws
- Boyle's Law: Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
- Charles's Law: Volume and absolute temperature of a gas are directly proportional at constant pressure.
- Gay-Lussac's Law: Pressure and absolute temperature of a gas are directly proportional at constant volume.
- Avogadro's Law: Volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at constant temperature and pressure.
- Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT; where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is absolute temperature.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogenous mixtures of two or more substances.
- Solute is the substance present in smaller amount, Solvent is present in larger amount.
- Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.
- Factors affecting solubility include temperature, pressure, and nature of solute and solvent.
Colloids
- Colloids are mixtures where solute-like particles are dispersed in a solvent-like medium.
- They are intermediate in size between true solutions and suspensions.
- Characterized by the Tyndall effect (scattering of light).
Osmosis
- Osmosis is the net movement of solvent across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high solvent concentration to a region of low solvent concentration.
- Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the net flow of solvent across the membrane.
Other
- Ionic, Molecular, and Atomic crystals are different types of crystalline solids formed from different atomic components.
- Freezing point and boiling point are temperatures where a substance changes phase states.
