Study Notes
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations.
- Chemical reactions either require or release energy.
- Reactions occur due to a change in relative stability of reactants and products. Lower energy signifies higher stability.
- Higher energy (less stable) indicates greater reactivity.
Energy
- Energy is the capacity to do work or supply heat.
- It can be kinetic (energy of motion) or potential (stored energy).
- Kinetic energy (Ek) is calculated as 1/2 * mass * velocity².
- Potential energy (Ep) is stored due to position or chemical bonds.
Energy Changes & The Laws of Thermodynamics
- Energy is conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- Thermal energy (heat) is the kinetic energy of molecular motion. Measured by temperature.
- Heat is the transfer of thermal energy due to temperature differences.
- Chemical energy is the potential energy stored in chemical bonds.
Important Concepts and Terms
- A thermodynamic system is the specific part of the universe being studied.
- Surroundings are everything outside the system.
- Boundary separates the system from the surroundings.
- Isolated systems neither exchange energy nor matter with surroundings.
- Closed system exchange energy but not matter.
- Open system exchanges both energy and matter.
Internal Energy and P-V Work
- Internal energy (U) is the total kinetic and potential energy of molecules/ions in a system.
- Change in internal energy (ΔU) = final internal energy - initial internal energy.
- ΔU = q + w (where q = heat and w = work).
- P-V work occurs due to volume changes within a system.
- W = −PextΔV (where Pext is external pressure).
Internal Energy and P-V Work Continued
- Energy loss (ΔU is negative) if energy leaves the system.
- Energy gain (ΔU is positive) if energy enters the system.
- State functions are independent of the path taken.
- Internal energy is a state function (it only depends on the initial and final states of the system).
Internal Energy and P-V Work Continued 2
- Change in a state function (e.g., ΔX) for a process is -ΔX for the reverse process.
- Overall change in a state function is zero when returning to the initial state.
- Physical work (W) = force x displacement (W = F x d).
- In chemical systems, P-V work is common; it's related to volume changes.
- Examples include chemical reactions producing gases (e.g., combustion of C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 4H₂O + 3CO₂).
Internal Energy and P-V Work Continued 3
- In a chemical reaction, work can be calculated as W = -PextΔV
- If there is no change in volume (ΔV=0), no P-V work is done.
Internal Energy and P-V Work Continued 4
- At constant volume, q = ΔU and no P-V work is done.
- At constant pressure, q = ΔH (enthalpy).
- ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
- Enthalpy (H) is a state function related to heat changes.
- H = U + PV
Enthalpy
- Enthalpy (ΔH) is a thermodynamic quantity representing the enthalpy change for a reaction at constant pressure. Important in reacting systems.
- ΔH = ΣΔHproducts - ΣΔHreactants
- Enthalpy change (ΔH) is a state function. Independent of pathway.
- Endothermic process: ΔH is positive (system absorbs heat). Examples: ice melting.
- Exothermic process: ΔH is negative (system releases heat). Examples: combustion of fuels.
Hess' Law
- Hess' law states that the overall enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway, and it equals the sum of enthalpy changes for individual steps involved in the process.
- Useful for calculating enthalpy values for complicated reactions from known individual enthalpy changes.
Calculating Enthalpy Changes from Heats of Formation
- Heats of formation (ΔfHo) are the enthalpy changes when one mole of a substance is formed from its elements in their standard states. The standard state is 298K and 1 atm pressure).
- We can calculate ΔHorxn (standard enthalpy changes for a given reaction) by considering the heats of formation of the reactants and products, along with the stoichiometric amounts.
- ΔHorxn = Σ n ΔfHo(products) – Σ n ΔfHo(reactants) [n are stoichiometric coefficients]
Calculating Enthalpy Changes from Bond Dissociation Energies
- Bond dissociation energies (BDE) are the enthalpy changes required to break a particular bond in one mole of gaseous molecules.
- To calculate enthalpy changes of a reaction using Average Bond Dissociation Energies, consider the sum of the energies required to break bonds (reactants) and the product bonds. Adiss H ≈Σ bonds broken – Σ bonds formed
Coulombs Forces and Lattice Energies
- Opposite charges attract. The strength of attraction depends on the magnitudes of the charges and the distance between them.
- Lattice energy (U) is the energy needed to separate one mole of a crystalline ionic solid into its gaseous ions. It results from the electrostatic attraction between ions. Important in ionic compounds).
- Larger charges and smaller distances between ions lead to larger lattice energies. For compounds with the same anion, compounds with smaller cations will have larger lattice energies because the smaller cations are closer to the anion and have a larger force of attraction.
Born-Haber Cycle
- Hess's Law can be used to find Lattice Energy. A cycle used to evaluate multiple steps together to get the overall enthalpy of a reaction.
