Study Notes
Physical Chemistry Lecture 3 Notes
- Thermochemical Measurements: Measurements are made at either constant volume or constant pressure.
- Internal Energy (ΔE): The heat change accompanying a reaction at constant volume. No external work is done.
- Enthalpy (H): A new term introduced to study heat changes at constant pressure and temperature.
- Enthalpy Definition: The sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume (H = E + PV)
- Enthalpy as a State Function: Like internal energy, enthalpy can't be measured absolutely, only changes in enthalpy can be determined.
- Change in Enthalpy (ΔH): Accurately measured using the formula: ΔH = Hproducts - Hreactants = Hp - Hr
- ΔH for Solids and Liquids: For solids and liquids, the change in volume (ΔV) is small, and the term PΔV is often negligible. Therefore, ΔH ≈ ΔE.
- ΔH for Gases: For gases, ΔV can be appreciable, and the term PΔV must be accounted for. ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
- Exothermic Reactions: Reactions where heat is released by the system to the surroundings (ΔH < 0)
- Endothermic Reactions: Reactions where heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings (ΔH > 0)
- Constant Pressure: The value of most chemical reactions is studied at constant pressure.
- Important points: Values of ΔH, ΔE and Δn must be taken into consideration in chemical equations. The physical state of reactants/products in equations must be identified.
Calculation of ΔH from ΔE
- General Reaction: A + B → C + D
- Change in moles (Δn): The difference in the number of moles between products and reactants ((c + d) – (a + b))
- PΔV Calculation: PΔV = RT Δn
Solved Problem (Ethylene Combustion)
- Chemical Equation: C₂H₄(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
- ΔE: Heat of combustion at constant volume: -332.19 kcal at 17°C
- Given Values: Δn = -2, R = 2 cal deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹, T = 290 K
- Calculate ΔH: ΔH = ΔE + ΔnRT = -332.19 kcal + (-2 * 2 cal deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹ * 290 K) = -333.3 kcal
Solved Problem (Carbon Monoxide Combustion)
- Chemical Equation: CO(g) + ½O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
- ΔE: Heat of combustion at constant volume: -283.3 kJ at 17°C
- Given values: Δn = -1, R = 8.314 J deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹, T = 290 K
- Calculate ΔH: ΔΗ = ΔΕ + ΔnRT = -283.3 kJ + (-1 * 8.314 J deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹ * 290 K) = -284.5 kJ
Thermochemical Equations
- Thermochemical equations: Equations that indicate heat changes, either released or absorbed, during a chemical process.
- Key Characteristics: Equations must be balanced; the quantities of substances must correspond to heat changes; Physical states of reactants and products must be specified in parentheses (e.g. (g) for gas, (l) for liquid, (s) for solid).
Is ΔH negative or positive?
- Exothermic: Heat is released by the system, ΔH < 0
- Endothermic: Heat is absorbed by the system, ΔH > 0
Different Types of Heat (Enthalpy) of Reaction
- Heat of Formation (ΔHf): The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements.
- Heat of Combustion (ΔHc): The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance burns completely in excess air or oxygen.
- Heat of Solution (ΔHsolution): The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature.
