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.
