Study Notes

Thermochemistry Overview

  • Thermochemistry is the study of energy changes in chemical reactions.
  • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.
  • All chemical reactions involve energy changes.
  • Some physical changes also involve energy changes.
  • Energy changes can be observed as changes in temperature.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe enthalpy change in terms of exothermic and endothermic changes.
  • Draw energy level diagrams.
  • Explain bond breaking (endothermic) and bond forming (exothermic) processes.
  • Explain overall enthalpy changes in terms of energy changes associated with breaking and making covalent bonds.
  • Draw energy profile diagrams to represent exothermic and endothermic reactions and show activation energies.

Exothermic & Endothermic Reactions

  • Exothermic: Heat is given off to the surroundings; surrounding temperature rises.
    • Examples: combustion of fuels, dissolving acids, condensation, freezing.
  • Endothermic: Heat is absorbed from the surroundings; surrounding temperature drops.
    • Examples: dissolving some ionic compounds in water, evaporation, melting.

Enthalpy Change in a Reaction

  • Enthalpy change (ΔH) is the amount of energy involved in a reaction.
  • Measured in kilojoules (kJ).
  • Represented by the symbol ΔH.
  • ΔH = total energy of products – total energy of reactants

Energy Level Diagrams

  • Show energy changes in reactions.
  • Exothermic reactions: Products have lower energy than reactants; ΔH is negative. The amount of energy released, is the magnitude of ΔH.
  • Endothermic reactions: Products have higher energy than reactants; ΔH is positive. The amount of energy absorbed, is the magnitude of ΔH

Bond Breaking & Bond Making

  • Energy is required to break bonds (endothermic).
  • Energy is released when bonds are formed (exothermic).
  • The overall enthalpy change depends on the difference between energy absorbed for breaking bonds and energy released for making bonds.
  • Bond energy is the energy required to break one mole of a specific bond.

Activation Energy

  • Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur.
  • Reactant particles need to possess this minimum energy for a reaction to start.
  • Represents a barrier in the reaction process.
  • Activation energy is shown on energy profile diagrams.

Collision Theory

  • Developed independently by Max Trautz and William Lewis (in 1916 and 1918 respectively).
  • Explains how reactant particles need to collide in proper orientation with enough energy to cause a reaction.

Energy Profile Diagrams

  • Illustrate the energy changes during a reaction.
  • Show the enthalpy change (ΔH) and activation energy (Ea).
  • Exothermic reactions have products with lower energy than reactants, Ea is needed in the reaction to achieve the products.
  • Endothermic reactions have products with higher energy than reactants, Ea is needed in the reaction to achieve the products.

Practice Questions & Examples

  • Specific examples of calculations and explanations provided for different chemical reactions such as NaOH and HCl reaction, Haber process, and reaction of Hydrogen gas and oxygen.
  • Include calculations for determining overall enthalpy change.

Additional Concepts

  • Water exists in solid, liquid, and gas states depending on environmental conditions.
  • Exothermic conversions between these states are relevant for thermochemistry questions.
    • Examples of exothermic conversions between the three states of water include freezing and condensation.
