Study Notes
Work Done by a System
- Work is done by the system during expansion at constant pressure, which is negative.
- Work done equals force multiplied by distance.
- Total work done is the sum of all infinitesimal changes in volume.
Internal Energy
- Internal energy change (ΔU) is equal to the sum of heat (q) and work (w).
- At constant volume, change in volume (ΔV) is zero, so ΔU equals heat at constant volume (qv).
- Most pharmaceutical processes occur at constant pressure, where change in internal energy equals heat at constant pressure (qp) minus pressure multiplied by change in volume (PΔV).
Enthalpy
- Enthalpy (H) is a new energy function defined as the sum of internal energy (U) and pressure multiplied by volume (PV).
- Change in enthalpy (ΔH) is equal to change in internal energy (ΔU) plus pressure multiplied by change in volume (PΔV).
- Change in enthalpy is also equal to heat transferred at constant pressure (qp).
Thermochemistry
- Thermochemistry examines heat transfers (enthalpy changes) during important processes like melting, binding, dilution, and reactions.
- Enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) is the heat absorbed at constant pressure when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their most stable forms.
- ΔHf⁰ refers to the enthalpy of formation at standard conditions (25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure).
- Exothermic processes release heat (ΔH is negative), while endothermic processes absorb heat (ΔH is positive).
Thermodynamic State Functions
- Thermodynamic state functions depend solely on the current state of the system, not on its history.
- Changes in internal energy (ΔU) and enthalpy(ΔH) are examples of state functions.
- Work (w) and heat (q) are not state functions, as they are determined by the specific pathway taken.
Intensive vs. Extensive Properties
- Intensive properties are independent of system size, like pressure (P) and temperature (T).
- Extensive properties depend on system size, like internal energy (U) and enthalpy (H).
Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law
- Boyle's Law states that, at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume (P ∝ 1/V).
- Charles' Law states that, at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature (V ∝ T).
Ideal Gas Law
- Combining Boyle's and Charles' Law, we get PV/T = constant for a fixed amount of ideal gas.
- This leads to the ideal gas law: PV = nRT, where:
- P is pressure
- V is volume
- T is temperature in Kelvin
- n is the number of moles of gas
- R is the gas constant (8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)
Mixtures of Ideal Gases
- For a mixture of ideal gases A and B, the total pressure (P) is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas (PA and PB).
- Partial pressure is the pressure the gas would exert if it alone occupied the container.
Mole Fraction
- Mole fraction (xi) of a component i in a mixture is the ratio of the number of moles of component i (ni) to the total number of moles in the mixture (∑ni).
Application of Ideal Gas Law
- The ideal gas law can be applied to calculate the amount of gas in a container.
Hess’s Law
- Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway taken.
- We can calculate the enthalpy change for a complex reaction by summing the enthalpy changes of simpler individual steps.
Enthalpies of Reaction
- We can calculate the enthalpy change (ΔHrxn) for a reaction using standard enthalpies of formation (ΔHf°) of the reactants and products.
- ΔHrxn = ∑ΔHf°(products) - ∑ΔHf°(reactants)
- The enthalpy of formation for an element in its standard state is 0.
Examples and Calculations
- The text provides examples for calculating the enthalpy change for various reactions.
Direction of Spontaneous Change
- The first law of thermodynamics describes energy balance but doesn't indicate the direction of a spontaneous process.
- To predict the position of equilibrium, we need both ΔH and the direction of spontaneous change.
Spontaneous Processes
- Many processes occur spontaneously in one direction, like heat flowing from hot to cold or gases mixing.
- Reverse processes require intervention and are not spontaneous.
Entropy
- Entropy (S) measures the degree of disorder or randomness in a system.
- Higher entropy implies greater disorder, while lower entropy indicates greater order.
- Entropy is a state function.
Entropy and Temperature
- Entropy generally increases with increasing temperature.
Irreversible Transfer of Heat
- Heat transfer from a hot object to a cold object is irreversible.
- The total entropy of the universe increases during this process.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of the universe always increases in a spontaneous process.
- Mathematically: ΔS ≥ q/T, where q is heat and T is temperature.
Summary
- This text covers fundamental concepts in thermodynamics, including work, internal energy, enthalpy, thermochemistry, state functions, and entropy.
- The text elaborates on the application of these concepts to various chemical processes and discusses how to predict the direction of spontaneous reactions.
- Emphasis is given on the relationship between enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) in determining the spontaneity of a process.
