Study Notes
Lecture 3: Physical Chemistry (F/R-010)
- Course taught by Prof. Dr. Hossieny Ibrahim at Badr University in Assiut, School of Biotechnology
- Course materials cover Physical Chemistry basics
Unit 1: Enthalpy of a Reaction
- Thermochemical measurements are conducted under constant volume or constant pressure conditions
- Change in internal energy (ΔE) is observed in constant volume reactions, as no external work is involved
- For constant pressure chemical reactions, enthalpy (ΔH) is introduced as a new term to measure heat changes
- Enthalpy is defined as the summation of internal energy (E) and the product of pressure (P) and volume (V): H = E + PV
Enthalpy and State Function
- Enthalpy, like internal energy, is a state function, and its absolute value can't be directly measured
- The change in enthalpy (ΔH) during a reaction can be accurately measured
- ΔH= H(products)-H(reactants)
Enthalpy of Reactions (solids and liquids)
- For reactions involving solids or liquids, the change in volume (ΔV) is negligible.
- In these cases, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is approximately equal to the change in internal energy (ΔE)
- ΔH=ΔE+ PAV
Enthalpy of Reactions (gases)
- For gas reactions, the change in volume (ΔV) is considerable, and the work term (PΔV) is appreciable
- In these cases, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is calculated by adding work term :
- ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
- Exothermic Reactions: The enthalpy of the products is less than the enthalpy of the reactants (ΔH < 0). Heat is released from the system to the surrounding.
- Endothermic Reactions: The enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of reactants (ΔH > 0). Heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings
Examples of Exothermic and Endothermic Processes
- Exothermic: Mixing water with strong acids, mixing water with calcium chloride, rusting iron
- Endothermic: Melting solid salts, evaporation of water, sublimation, mixing water and ammonium nitrate, freezing, condensation
Calculation of ΔH from ΔE and vice versa
- ΔH = ΔE + PAV,
- The change in the number of moles (Δn) is crucial in calculations
- PΔV= ΔnRT to determine the ΔH
Solved Problems (specific examples)
- Solved problems demonstrate the calculation of heat of combustion, heat of formation, etc. under various conditions (constant volume and pressure).
Thermochemical Equations
- Thermochemical equations represent chemical reactions while including the amount of heat involved
- The equations must be balanced and include the physical state of reactants and products
- Important considerations: stoichiometry, physical states, sign convention for ΔH
