    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.
