Study Notes
Bond Energy and Enthalpy of Reaction
- The energy needed to overcome the attraction between nuclei and shared electrons is called bond energy.
- Stronger bonds have higher bond energies.
Thermochemical Equations
- A thermochemical equation is a balanced equation that includes ΔHrxn and the phase states of the chemicals participating in the reaction.
- The sign of ΔH indicates whether the reaction is exothermic (ΔH < 0) or endothermic (ΔH > 0).
- The magnitude of ΔH is proportional to the amount of substance.
Calculating ΔHrxn from ΔHf Values
- ΔHrxn can be calculated using the equation: ΔHrxn = ∑mΔHf(products) - ∑nΔHf(reactants)
- This equation is derived from the concept that any reaction can be thought of as happening in two steps:
- The decomposition of reactants to elements (reverse of formation reactions of reactants).
- The re-combination of elements to form products (formation reactions of products).
Stoichiometry of Thermochemical Equations
- The coefficients of the balanced equation need not be the lowest integers.
- ΔHrxn is proportional to the amount of substance.
Calorimetry at Constant Pressure
- Most reactions in chemistry happen in solution, liquid, or solid state.
- Thermal effects are measured at constant pressure, i.e., in baric equilibrium with the surrounding air.
- Thermodynamic changes at constant pressure are called isobaric transformations (or isobaric paths).
Energy Transfer as Heat and Work
- Energy can be transferred as heat (q) or work (w).
- Heat is transferred as energy flows from a higher-temperature body to a lower-temperature body.
- Work is done when a force is applied over a distance.
Formation Equations and ΔHf°
- A formation equation is a balanced equation that describes the formation of a compound from its elements.
- ΔHf° is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its elements.
Practice Problems
- Example problems are provided to practice calculating ΔHrxn from ΔHf values, writing formation equations, and determining the heat of a reaction.
