Study Notes
Thermochemistry
- The study of heat changes associated with chemical reactions
Work and Energy
- Energy is a system's capacity to do work (e.g., lifting a weight)
- Work is the transfer of energy to or from a system by a process equivalent to raising or lowering a weight
- For work done on a system, w is positive
- For work done by a system, w is negative
The First Law of Thermodynamics
- The total internal energy of an isolated system is constant
- Internal energy (U or E) is the total store of energy in a system
- We cannot measure the absolute value of internal energy, but we can measure changes (∆U)
- ∆U = w when energy is transferred by doing work and no other changes occur
Standard Enthalpies of Formation
- The standard enthalpy of formation (∆H°f) of a substance is the standard reaction enthalpy for forming one mole of that substance from its elements in their most stable states at standard conditions (usually 298.15 K and 1 atm)
- The standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its most stable form is zero
Spontaneity
- Spontaneity refers to a process happening without external influence
- Spontaneity can be associated with physical or chemical changes
- Exothermicity is not the only reason for a process to be spontaneous
- Some spontaneous changes are endothermic (e.g., melting of ice)
Entropy and Disorder
- Entropy (S) is a measure of randomness or disorder in a system
- Entropy increases as disorder increases
- Solids have lower entropy than liquids, which have lower entropy than gases
- Entropy is a state function, meaning it depends only on the initial and final states of a system, not the path taken
Calculating Entropy Change
- Isothermal Expansion: ΔS = nR ln(V₂/V₁) where n is moles, R is the ideal gas constant, V₁ is the initial volume, and V₂ is the final volume
- Isothermal Compression: ΔS = nR ln(P₁/P₂) where P₁ is the initial pressure, P₂ is the final pressure
- Changes in both Temperature and Volume: For an ideal gas undergoing a change in both temperature and volume, consider the combined effects separately
- Changes in entropy are positive when disorder increases (e.g., expansion or heating)
- Changes in entropy are negative when disorder decreases (e.g., compression or cooling)
