Study Notes
Thermochemistry
- The first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed
- Energy is the ability to do work or transfer heat
- Energy is always conserved
- Isolated system does not exchange energy with the surroundings
Heat
- The amount of heat transferred is directly proportional to the change in temperature and the mass of the substance
- The amount of heat transferred is related to the specific heat of the substance
- Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius
- For a given temperature change, a substance with a lower specific heat requires less heat to undergo the same change
Enthalpy
- Enthalpy is the heat content of a system at constant pressure
- Enthalpy change is the change in heat content of a system during a chemical reaction
- The sign of the enthalpy change indicates whether heat is released or absorbed
- Negative enthalpy change indicates heat is released from the system (exothermic)
- Positive enthalpy change indicates heat is absorbed by the system (endothermic)
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry is the study of heat transfer
- Calorimeters are used to measure the heat transferred during a chemical reaction
- There are two main types of calorimeters: constant pressure calorimeters and constant volume calorimeters
- Constant pressure calorimeter: a device that measures the heat transferred at constant pressure
- Constant volume calorimeter: a device that measures the heat transferred at constant volume
Hess's Law
- Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the pathway
- The enthalpy change of a reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the individual steps in the reaction
- Hess's Law is used to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction that cannot be measured directly
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
- The standard enthalpy of formation (∆fHº) of a compound is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of the compound is formed from its elements in their standard states
- The standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its standard state is zero
- The standard enthalpy of formation can be used to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction
Bond Energies
- Bond energy is the energy required to break a bond between two specific atoms
- Bond energies can be used to estimate the enthalpy change of a reaction
- Bond energy is a measure of the strength of a bond
State Functions
- A state function is a property that depends only on the initial and final states of a system, not on the pathway
- Enthalpy is a state function
- Internal pressure is a state function
- Entropy is a state function
- Volume is a state function
