Study Notes
Thermodynamics and Isothermal Processes
- T1 = 0 indicates perfectly inefficient heat-to-work conversion, resulting in zero efficiency.
- T2 = T1 in a thermodynamic cycle leads to isothermal conditions, complying with the second law of thermodynamics, which limits heat conversion to work.
Engine Efficiency Example
- A steam engine operates between temperatures of 3780K (T2) and 3030K (T1).
- The theoretical efficiency (η) formula is η = (T2 - T1) / T2.
- Calculated efficiency: η = 0.198 or 19.8%.
- Theoretical work output when supplied with 800 cal: W = 800 x 0.198 = 158.4 cal.
- Conversion of calories to joules: 158.4 cal x 4.184 J/cal = 662.5 J.
Entropy Concepts
- Entropy (S) quantifies the unavailability of a system’s energy to perform work; it increases with irreversible processes.
- Formula for entropy change: ∆S = ∆Q/T, representing energy transferred divided by temperature.
- High entropy correlates with greater disorder; the universe’s entropy is perpetually increasing, illustrating the second law of thermodynamics.
Heat of Solution
- Differential and integral heats of solution differ; integral heat affects both solute and solvent.
- Heat of hydration examples show varying energetic interactions with water molecules.
Bond Energy
- Bond energy measures energy required to break bonds or the energy released when forming bonds.
- For example, breaking a hydrogen bond requires +435 kJ/mol, while forming it releases -435 kJ/mol.
- Bond energy correlates with stability; higher bond energies indicate stronger, more stable substances.
Reaction Rates and Orders
- Reaction rates are proportional to the concentration of reactants; first-order reactions have the rate equation: -dC/dt = kC.
- Integrating gives ln(C/C0) = -kt or log relationships for reaction kinetics.
Half-Life Calculations
- For first-order reactions, half-life (t1/2) is calculated as t1/2 = 0.693/K.
- For second-order reactions, t1/2 = 1/(KC0).
- Zero-order reactions: t1/2 = C0/(2k).
Arrhenius Equation and Activation Energy
- Activation energy (Ea) can be derived from temperature and rate constants using logarithmic relations between K2 and K1.
- The equation Log(K2/K1) = Ea/(2.303R) * (1/T1 - 1/T2) relates activation energy to changes in rate constants with temperature.
Photochemical Reactions
- Light provides activation energy in photochemical reactions, distinguishing them from thermally driven reactions.
- Thermal effects can still occur in subsequent chain reactions following the initial photochemical activation.
