Study Notes
Thermochemical Equations
- A thermochemical equation includes the enthalpy change of the reaction
- The physical state of reactants and products affects the heat of reaction
- The heat of reaction is an extensive property - doubling the amount of a reactant or product doubles the heat of reaction
- The magnitude of the heat of reaction for a reverse process is equal to the forward reaction but opposite in sign
Hess's Law of Heat Summation
- The overall heat of reaction for a multi-step process is the sum of the heats of reaction for the individual steps
- This law holds true because enthalpy is a state function, meaning the total enthalpy change is independent of the path taken
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
- The enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance is formed in its standard state from its elements in their standard states
Thermochemical Equation
- A thermochemical equation is a chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change of the reaction.
- The enthalpy change (∆H) indicates whether the reaction is exothermic (releases heat, negative ∆H) or endothermic (absorbs heat, positive ∆H).
Important Considerations for Thermochemical Equations
- Physical State: The heat of reaction depends on the physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) of both reactants and products.
- Extensive Property: The heat of reaction is an extensive property, meaning it is proportional to the amount of reactants involved. Doubling the amount of reactants doubles the heat of reaction.
- Reverse Process: The magnitude of the heat of reaction for a reverse process is equal to the forward reaction, but the sign is opposite.
Hess's Law of Heat Summation
- Hess's Law states that if a chemical reaction is carried out in multiple steps, the overall enthalpy change of the reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for each individual step.
- Regardless of the steps involved, the total enthalpy change remains the same.
- This additivity property is due to enthalpy being a state function.
Example 1: Calculating Enthalpy Change with Hess's Law
- Overall Reaction: H2O(s) → H2O(g)
- Step 1: H2O(s) → H2O(l) (∆H = 6.01 kJ/mol)
- Step 2: H2O(l) → H2O(g) (∆H = -44.0 kJ/mol)
- To calculate the overall enthalpy change (∆H), sum the enthalpy changes from each step: ∆H = 6.01 kJ/mol + (-44.0 kJ/mol) = -38.0 kJ/mol
Example 2: Combustion Reactions and Enthalpy Change
- Combustion Reactions: The standard enthalpies of combustion are provided for C(graphite), H2(g), and C3H8(g).
- Goal: Using Hess's Law, calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction: C(graphite) + 2H2(g) → C3H8(g)
-
Step 1: Write the combustion reactions for each reactant and the product:
- C(graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g) (∆H = -393.5 kJ/mol)
- H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → H2O(l) (∆H = -285.8 kJ/mol)
- C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) (∆H = -2219.9 kJ/mol)
- Step 2: Manipulate the equations to match the overall reaction.
- Step 3: Sum the enthalpy changes for each step to find the overall enthalpy change for the reaction
Standard enthalpy of formation
- The standard enthalpy of formation refers to the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance in its standard state is formed from its elements in their standard states.
- Standard state usually means 298 K (25 °C) and 1 atm pressure.
