Study Notes
Thermochemistry
- Thermochemistry is the study of thermal energy changes during chemical reactions.
- Energy is released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
- Tracking energy transfer requires defining boundaries (system, surroundings, universe).
- The system is the chemical reaction, while the surroundings are the environment around the reaction.
- The universe encompasses both the system and surroundings.
- The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. The total amount of energy in the universe is constant.
Energy Conversions Associated with Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions often involve the transfer of thermal energy (heat).
- This heat transfer occurs due to temperature differences between the system and surroundings.
- Heat flow is the most common energy transfer encountered in chemical reactions.
Types of Systems
- Open systems: exchange energy and mass.
- Closed systems: exchange only energy.
- Isolated systems: exchange neither energy nor mass.
Units of Energy
- 4.184 Joules (J) = 1 calorie (cal)
- 1000 calories (cal) = 1 kilocalorie (kcal) or 1 Calorie (Cal)
- 1 kilojoule (kJ) = 1000 joules (J)
Thermodynamic Quantities
- Thermodynamic quantities have a magnitude and a sign.
- The magnitude indicates the amount, while the sign indicates the direction of flow from the system's perspective.
Calorimetry
- Specific heat (s) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (°C).
- Molar specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by one degree Celsius (°C).
- Heat capacity (C) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius (°C).
- Calorimetry is used to measure heat transfer in chemical reactions or physical processes.
- Constant pressure calorimeters (coffee-cup calorimeters) are used to measure heat transfer in reactions involving liquids.
- Bomb calorimeters are used to measure heat in combustion reactions.
Standard Enthalpy of Formation and Reaction
- Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) is the enthalpy change associated with the formation of one mole of a compound from its constituent elements in their standard states at a specified temperature.
- Standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔHr°) is the enthalpy change for a reaction when all reactants and products are in their standard states.
- Standard states are defined temperature and pressure (e.g., 298 K and 1 atm).
- Methods for calculating enthalpy changes exist using bond enthalpies or standard enthalpies of formation.
Hess's Law
- Hess's law allows calculating enthalpy changes of a reaction by summing enthalpy changes of multiple related reactions.
