    Study Notes

    Open, Closed, and Isolated Systems

    • Open systems allow transfer of matter and energy
    • Closed systems allow transfer of energy, but not matter
    • Isolated systems do not allow transfer of matter or energy
    • Bomb calorimeters are examples of isolated systems due to insulation

    State Functions vs Path Functions

    • State functions describe the initial and final states of a system
    • State functions are calculated as "final - initial"
    • Example: Temperature change in taking water from room temperature to sun, then to the North Pole and back to room temperature
    • Path functions consider the pathway or mechanism in a given process
    • Examples: Heat (q) and work (w)
    • Example: Work (w) done pushing a box around a room depends on the path taken

    Extensive vs Intensive Properties

    • Extensive properties are additive
    • Examples: Volume, mass, moles, and energy
    • If you combine two buckets of water, the volume doubles
    • Intensive properties are not additive, they define a system
    • Examples: Temperature, density, and pressure
    • If you combine two buckets of water at 25 degrees Celsius the temperature remains at 25 degrees

    Thermodynamic Signs

    • The sign of a thermodynamic variable is negative if it leaves the system
    • The sign of a thermodynamic variable is positive if it enters the system
    • For example: When heat (q) leaves the system, the sign is negative
    • ΔG is negative for a spontaneous process and positive for a non-spontaneous process
    • ΔS is positive for increasing disorder and negative for increasing order
    • ΔH is negative for an exothermic process and positive for an endothermic process

    Heat vs Work

    • Heat is chaotic energy
    • Work is a concerted flow of energy that can be controlled
    • Both are path functions

    Internal Energy and Enthalpy Theory

    • The first law of thermodynamics states that ΔUuniv = 0, meaning energy is conserved
    • ΔU = q + w
    • U (internal energy) is a measure of all potential and kinetic energy in a system
    • Calorimetry measures unknown ΔU reactions using ΔUsys = -ΔUsurrondings
    • ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
    • In a closed system, ΔU = qv, because volume is constant (no PΔV work)
    • In an open system, ΔH = qp, because pressure is constant

    Calculating Internal Energy

    • Internal energy is calculated using the equation ΔU = q + w
    • For work: + indicates work is entering the system, - indicates work leaving the system
    • For heat: + indicates heat entering the system, - indicates heat leaving the system

    Energy Diagrams of Reactions

    • Energy entering the system indicates a positive ΔU
    • Energy leaving the system indicates a negative ΔU
    • ΔH = Hproducts - Hreactants
    • An increase in energy on the energy diagram is endothermic
    • A decrease in energy on the energy diagram is exothermic
