Study Notes
Enthalpy of Formation and Hess's Law
- Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) refers to the change in enthalpy when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states.
- Hess’s Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same, regardless of the paths taken, as long as the initial and final conditions are identical.
Applying Hess's Law
- Formula to apply Hess's Law: ΔHr = ΔH2 – ΔH1
- Example calculation for sodium carbonate:
- ΔHr = (ΔHf [Na2CO3 (s)] + ΔHf [CO2 (g)] + ΔHf [H2O (l)]) – 2ΔHf [NaHCO3 (s)]
- Result: ΔHr = +91.6 kJ mol⁻¹
Calculating ΔHf from ΔHc
- Combustion products can be derived directly from elements (ΔH1) or indirectly through intermediates (ΔHf + ΔH2).
- Relationship: ΔHf = ΔH1 – ΔH2
- Example for ethane (C2H6):
- Combustion reactions with associated ΔHc values are needed.
- Calculation yields ΔHf = –84.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for ethane.
Average Bond Energies
- Average bond energies are determined using Hess’s law and cannot be measured directly.
- Enthalpy changes of atomisation and combustion or formation are used to calculate average bond energies.
Summary of Hess's Law Applications
- Hess's Law allows for the calculation of enthalpy changes that are difficult to obtain experimentally.
- The method helps predict the enthalpy change in reactions where direct measurement is not feasible, such as the reaction of hydrogen and carbon under standard conditions.
Key Points
- Direct routes for reactions yield the same enthalpy change as indirect routes.
- Understanding and applying Hess's Law is crucial for thermodynamic calculations in chemistry.
