PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 2 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Introduction Energy cannot be created or destroyed – but it can be changed from one form to another. All chemical reactions involve energy changes. Some physical changes (melting, dissolving) also involve energy changes An energy change can sometimes be observed as an increase or decrease in temperature. PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 3 Exothermic & Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive endothermic reactions EXOTHERMIC ENDOTHERMIC Heat is given out to the Heat is absorbed from the surroundings surroundings The surrounding temperature rises The surrounding temperature falls E.g. E.g. Combustion of fuels Dissolving of some ionic compounds in water Dissolving of acids Evaporation Condensation Melting Freezing PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 4 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Enthalpy change in a reaction The amount of energy involved in a reaction is known as the heat change or enthalpy change of the reaction. Enthalpy change is measured in kilojoules (kJ) and represented by the symbol ΔH. The enthalpy change, ΔH, represents the difference in energy content of the reactants and products. ΔH = total energy of products – total energy of reactants PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 5 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Energy level diagrams Energy changes in reactions can be shown by energy level diagrams. EXOTHERMIC REACTION Energy Heat is given out to the level surroundings Total energy of the products is less reactants than that of the reactants ΔH is negative Heat of reaction (ΔH = negative) products PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 6 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Energy level diagrams ENDOTHERMIC REACTION Energy Heat is absorbed from the level surroundings The products have more energy products than the reactants ΔH is positive Heat of reaction (ΔH = positive) reactants PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 7 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Example When 1 mol of NaOH solution reacts with 1 mol of HCl solution, 57.3 kJ of heat is produced. The equation for the reaction is NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) ⟶ NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) Draw an energy level diagram for this reaction. Solution: Energy level Since heat is produced during the reaction, the reaction is exothermic. Thus, ΔH is NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) reactants negative. ΔH = -57.3 kJ NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) products PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 8 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Try it yourself Ammonia gas reacts with hydrogen chloride gas to form ammonium chloride. NH3(g) + HCl(g) ⟶ NH4Cl(s) ΔH = -176 kJ Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? Draw an energy level diagram to represent the energy change in this reaction. PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 9 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Bond breaking & bond making What causes energy changes in chemical reactions? When a chemical reaction occurs, bonds of the reactants are broken and new bonds are made to form products. E.g. 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) ⟶ 2H2O (l) Energy is given out when bonds are Energy is absorbed formed to break bonds. O O H H H H H O O H H H O H H O H H PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY, PFP, LSCT, NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC 10 Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive Bond breaking & bond making How can we tell if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic? The overall enthalpy change determines whether the total chemical reaction is exothermic or endothermic Total energy Total energy Overall enthalpy change (ΔH) = absorbed for – released for bond breaking bond making If the energy absorbed in bond breaking is less than the energy given out in bond making, the reaction is exothermic. If the energy absorbed in bond breaking is more than the energy given out in bond making, the reaction is endothermic.

H-H (g) ⟶ 2H (g) ΔH = +436 kJ 2H (g) ⟶ H-H (g) ΔH = -436 kJ This energy is called the bond strength of a covalent bond. The stronger a bond is, the more energy is required to break that bond, and thus, the higher its bond energy.
