Study Notes
Expansion of Gas at Constant Pressure
- Work done by the system during expansion is negative.
- The system reaches equilibrium after each infinitesimal change in volume.
- Work done is calculated by multiplying pressure and change in volume.
- Total work done is the sum of all PdV terms.
Internal Energy (U)
- Change in internal energy (ΔU) equals heat transferred (q) plus work done (w).
- At constant volume, ΔU equals heat transferred at constant volume (qv).
- Most pharmaceutical processes occur at constant pressure, therefore ΔU equals heat transferred at constant pressure (qp) minus pressure times change in volume (PΔV).
Enthalpy (H)
- Enthalpy (H) is defined as a new energy function.
- H equals internal energy (U) plus pressure times volume (PV).
- Change in enthalpy (ΔH) equals change in internal energy (ΔU) plus pressure times change in volume (PΔV).
- Change in enthalpy (ΔH) is equal to heat transferred at constant pressure(qp).
Thermochemistry
- Examines heat transfers (enthalpy changes) during important processes such as melting drugs, drug binding, dilution, and chemical 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 represents the enthalpy of formation at 25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure.
- Heat lost from the system is an exothermic process (ΔH negative).
- Heat gained by the system is an endothermic process (ΔH positive).
Thermodynamic State Functions
- Their value depends only on the present condition (state) of a system.
- Independent of the pathway used to reach the present state.
- Internal energy (ΔU) and enthalpy (ΔH) are state functions.
- Work (w) and heat (q) are not state functions, they are pathway dependent.
Intensive vs. Extensive Properties
- Intensive properties are independent of the size of a system.
- Examples of intensive properties: pressure (P), temperature (T).
- Extensive properties depend on the size of a system.
- Examples of extensive properties: internal energy (U), enthalpy (H).
Structure and Stability of Pharmaceutical Systems
- Equilibrium constants and dynamic equilibria determine structure.
- Stability is determined by whether a system is at equilibrium.
- Systems and surroundings interact to reach equilibrium.
- The energy of a system is crucial for determining equilibrium, structure, and stability.
Energy and Equilibrium
- Relates the energy of a system to the equilibrium constant (K) for any process.
- Pharmaceutical systems are complex, so starting with simple imagined systems is helpful.
- Theory can be modified to account for more complex systems.
Ideal Gases
- Simplest systems with molecules moving randomly through space with no interactions.
- No defined spatial relationships.
- No energy contributions from interactions between molecules.
- Some gases behave close to ideally under specific conditions.
Studies on Ideal Gases
- Boyle’s Law: Pressure (P) vs. Volume (V) at constant Temperature (T).
- Charles’ Law: Volume (V) vs. Temperature (T) at constant pressure (P).
First Law of Thermodynamics
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
- Internal energy (U) is due to the translational, rotational, and vibrational motion of atoms, ions, and/or molecules within a system.
- In an isolated system, internal energy (U) is constant.
Changes in Internal Energy (U)
- Internal energy can change in various ways.
- If there are no changes in phases or components, then energy changes only through heat transfer or work done.
- Heat transfer is quantified by q.
- Work done is quantified by w.
Relating Work (w) to Pressure (P) and Volume (V)
- Imagine an ideal gas in a cylinder with a piston.
- Work done (w) equals force multiplied by distance, which is pressure (P) multiplied by change in volume (dV).
The Direction of Spontaneous Change
- Thermodynamics describes the energy balance in a process.
- The change in enthalpy (ΔH) is a key parameter.
- The first law does not indicate the preferred direction of a process.
- The direction of spontaneous change is needed to predict the position of equilibrium.
Spontaneous Processes
- Many processes occur in only one direction.
- Heat flows from hotter to colder bodies, not vice versa.
- Gas molecules mix randomly but not in reverse.
- Processes can occur in reverse but require intervention.
Entropy (S)
- Entropy (S) is the degree of disorder or randomness of a system.
- Higher entropy corresponds to greater disorder, and lower entropy corresponds to greater order or organization.
- Entropy is a thermodynamic state function.
- Change in entropy (ΔS) determines the direction of spontaneous change.
Entropy (S) vs. Temperature
- Entropy decreases as temperature decreases.
- For example, ice and water are in equilibrium at 0°C.
Irreversible Transfer of Heat
- Heat transfer from a hot object to a cold object.
- The hot object loses heat (-q), and the cold object gains heat (q).
- Entropy change for the cold object is q/Tcold.
- Entropy change for the hot object is -q/Thot.
- Thot is greater than Tcold, so entropy change for the universe is positive.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- For a reversible process, change in entropy (ΔS) is equal to qrev/T.
- For an irreversible process, change in entropy (ΔS) is greater than qirr/T.
- The second law of thermodynamics states: "In a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases."
