Study Notes
Thermochemistry: Nature and Types of Energy
- Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. Work equals force multiplied by distance.
- Chemists define work as an energy change resulting from a process.
- Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. It is one type of energy of particular interest to chemists.
- Other forms of energy include radiant energy (solar energy), thermal energy (random motion of atoms and molecules), chemical energy (stored within chemical substances), and potential energy (energy available due to position).
Energy Changes
- Radiant energy is primarily from the sun, being the earth's primary energy source.
- Thermal energy is related to the random motion of atoms and molecules.
- Chemical energy is stored within substances and released in chemical reactions.
- Potential energy is energy stored because of an object's position.
- The Law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy disappears, another equal magnitude form of energy appears in its place. This is also known as the first law of thermodynamics.
Spontaneous Processes
- Spontaneous processes occur naturally without external intervention.
- Processes in nature are spontaneous, going in only one direction and are thermodynamically irreversible.
- They can only be reversed with external agency.
Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
- Almost all chemical reactions absorb or produce energy, often in the form of heat.
- Thermochemistry studies heat changes in chemical reactions.
- These changes are crucial to understanding mass ratios of reactants and products.
- The energy changes' analysis requires defining the system (the focus) and the surroundings (everything else).
Types of Systems
- Open systems can exchange both mass and energy.
- Closed systems can exchange energy (heat) but not matter.
- Isolated systems can exchange neither mass nor energy.
Exothermic and Endothermic Processes
- Exothermic processes release heat to their surroundings (e.g., 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) + energy)
- Endothermic processes absorb heat from their surroundings (e.g., Energy + 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)).
Enthalpy Changes
- Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic function related to the internal energy and pressure-volume work of a system.
- Changes in enthalpy (ΔH) represent heat changes at constant pressure.
- If chemical reactions occur at constant volume, ∆E = qν
- At constant pressure, ∆H = qp
Thermochemical Equations and Rules
- A thermochemical equation details a reaction and its enthalpy change.
- Enthalpy changes (ΔH) are directly proportional to the amount of reactants or products.
- When a thermochemical equation is multiplied , the enthalpy change is also multiplied by the same factor.
- Reversing a reaction reverses the sign of the enthalpy change.
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
- Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound forms from its constituent elements in their standard states (usually 1 atm and 298 K).
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry measures heat changes during physical or chemical processes.
- Specific heat capacity measures how much heat needed to raise 1 gram of substance by 1 degree.
- Constant volume or pressure calorimeters are devices used to precisely measure these changes, often related to combustion or other reactions.
