Energy (E)
What is it?
• ability to do work OR transfer heat
 Work (w): transfer of energy by applying a
force over a distance.
 Heat (q): transfer of energy by DT (high to low)
• unit of energy: joule (J)
• an older unit still in widespread use is…
calorie (cal)
1 Cal = 1000 cal 1 cal = 4.18 J
2000 Cal ≈ 8,000,000 J
≈
8 MJ!!!
System and Surroundings
• System:
molecules to be studied
(reactants & products)
• Surroundings:
everything else
(container, thermometer,…)
1st Law of Thermodynamics
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed.
• total energy of an isolated system is constant
(universe)
(no transfer matter/energy) (conserved)
Internal Energy (E):
E = KE

PE
(motions) (attractions)
(Thermal Energy)
(calculating E is too
complex a problem)
DE = Efinal − Einitial
released or absorbed
Changes in Internal Energy
• Energy is transferred between
the system and surroundings,
as either heat (q) or work (w). DE = q + w
DE = ?
DE = (–) + (+)

Work (w)
The only work done by a gas at constant P
is change in V by pushing on surroundings.
PDV = −w

DE = q+w
PDV = −w
of system
(change in) H or
DH (at constant P) :
DH = DE + PDV
DH = (q+w) + (−w)
DH = heat
DH = q
• (change in) enthalpy IS heat absorbed/released
Enthalpy of Reaction
enthalpy is…
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
DH = DE + PDV
DH = q
…the heat transfer
in/out of a system

2. DHreverse rxn = –DHforward rxn
3. DHrxn depends
on the state (s, l, g) of
products & reactants
DH1 = –802 kJ if 2 H2O(g)

calculate DH by calorimetry,
the measurement of heat flow.

we indirectly determine DH of system
by measuring ∆T & calculating q of the

Favorable (spontaneous)
processes are those that
can proceed without any
outside intervention.

spontaneously effuse into
vessel A, but once the
gas is in both vessels, it
will not spontaneously

–TDSuniv = DHsys – TDSsys

(Gibbs free energy equation)
• Gibbs defined TDSuniv as the change in

• Free Energy (DG) is more useful than

happens
at 300 K?
In what T range
is this favorable?
ΔG = –
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

∆Go & Rxn Coupling
Rxn Coupling:
Unfav. rxns (+∆Go) combine with
Fav. rxns (–∆Go) to make a
Fav. overall (–∆Gooverall ).
(zinc ore)  (zinc metal)
ZnS(s)  Zn(s) + S(s)
S(s) + O2(g)  SO2(g)
goes up
if
coupled
(NOT therm.fav.)
∆Go = +198 kJ/mol
∆Go = –300 kJ/mol
ZnS(s) + O2(g)  Zn(s) + SO2(g) ∆Go = –102 kJ/mol
