Thermochemistry Chapter 5 Energy • The ability to do work or transfer heat. – Work: Energy used to cause an object that has mass to move. – Heat: Energy used to cause the temperature of an object to rise. Potential Energy Energy an object possesses by virtue of its position or chemical composition. Kinetic Energy Energy an object possesses by virtue of its motion. 1 KE = mv2 2 Potential energy Energy in kinetic energy Energy out kinetic energy The energy something possesses due to its motion, depending on mass and velocity. Energy A C B Kinetic Energy – energy of motion KE = ½ m v 2 mass velocity (speed) Potential Energy – stored energy Batteries (chemical potential energy) Spring in a watch (mechanical potential energy) Water trapped above a dam (gravitational potential energy) School Bus or Bullet? Which has more kinetic energy; a slow moving school bus or a fast moving bullet? Recall: KE = ½ m v 2 BUS KE = ½ m v 2 KE(bus) = ½ (10,000 lbs) (0.5 mph)2 BULLET KE = ½ m v 2 KE(bullet) = ½ (0.002 lbs) (240 mph)2 Either may have more KE, it depends on the mass of the bus and the velocity of the bullet. Which is a more important factor: mass or velocity? Why? (Velocity)2 Units of Energy • The SI unit of energy is the joule (J). kg m2 1 J = 1 s2 • An older, non-SI unit is still in widespread use: The calorie (cal). 1 cal = 4.184 J System and Surroundings • The system includes the molecules we want to study (here, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules). • The surroundings are everything else (here, the cylinder and piston). Work • Energy used to move an object over some distance. • w = F d, where w is work, F is the force, and d is the distance over which the force is exerted. Heat • Energy can also be transferred as heat. • Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. First Law of Thermodynamics • Energy is neither created nor destroyed. • In other words, the total energy of the universe is a constant; if the system loses energy, it must be gained by the surroundings, and vice versa. Use Fig. 5.5 Internal Energy The internal energy of a system is the sum of all kinetic and potential energies of all components of the system; we call it E. Use Fig. 5.5 Internal Energy By definition, the change in internal energy, E, is the final energy of the system minus the initial energy of the system: E = Efinal − Einitial Use Fig. 5.5 Changes in Internal Energy • If E > 0, Efinal > Einitial – Therefore, the system absorbed energy from the surroundings. – This energy change is called endergonic. Changes in Internal Energy • If E < 0, Efinal < Einitial – Therefore, the system released energy to the surroundings. – This energy change is called exergonic. Changes in Internal Energy • When energy is exchanged between the system and the surroundings, it is exchanged as either heat (q) or work (w). • That is, E = q + w. Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings • When heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, the process is endothermic. Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings • When heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, the process is endothermic. • When heat is released by the system to the surroundings, the process is exothermic. State Functions Usually we have no way of knowing the internal energy of a system; finding that value is simply too complex a problem. State Functions • However, we do know that the internal energy of a system is independent of the path by which the system achieved that state. – In the system below, the water could have reached room temperature from either direction. State Functions • Therefore, internal energy is a state function. • It depends only on the present state of the system, not on the path by which the system arrived at that state. • And so, E depends only on Einitial and Efinal. State Functions • However, q and w are not state functions. • Whether the battery is shorted out or is discharged by running the fan, its E is the same. – But q and w are different in the two cases. Work When a process occurs in an open container, commonly the only work done is a change in volume of a gas pushing on the surroundings (or being pushed on by the surroundings). Work We can measure the work done by the gas if the reaction is done in a vessel that has been fitted with a piston. w = −PV Enthalpy • If a process takes place at constant pressure (as the majority of processes we study do) and the only work done is this pressure-volume work, we can account for heat flow during the process by measuring the enthalpy of the system. • Enthalpy is the internal energy plus the product of pressure and volume: H = E + PV Enthalpy • When the system changes at constant pressure, the change in enthalpy, H, is H = (E + PV) • This can be written H = E + PV Enthalpy • Since E = q + w and w = −PV, we can substitute these into the enthalpy expression: H = E + PV H = (q+w) − w H = q • So, at constant pressure the change in enthalpy is the heat gained or lost. Endothermicity and Exothermicity • A process is endothermic, then, when H is positive. Endothermicity and Exothermicity • A process is endothermic when H is positive. • A process is exothermic when H is negative. Enthalpies of Reaction The change in enthalpy, H, is the enthalpy of the products minus the enthalpy of the reactants: H = Hproducts − Hreactants Enthalpies of Reaction This quantity, H, is called the enthalpy of reaction, or the heat of reaction.

Calorimetry • Use a calorimeter (measures heat flow). • Two kinds: – Constant pressure calorimeter (called a coffee cup calorimeter) – Constant volume calorimeter is called a bomb calorimeter. Specific Heat Capacity and Heat Transfer • The quantity of heat transferred depends upon three things: 1.The quantity of material (extensive). 2.The difference in temperature. 3.The identity of the material gaining/losing heat. Heat Capacity and Specific Heat • The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 K (1C) is its heat capacity. • Molar Heat Capacity – The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1 Kelvin. Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Specific Heat (Specific Heat Capacity, c) – The amount of heat required to raise 1.0 gram of a substance by 1 Kelvin. q c mT c specific heat m mass T change in temperature, T f Ti Constant Pressure Calorimetry By carrying out a reaction in aqueous solution in a simple calorimeter such as this one, one can indirectly measure the heat change for the system by measuring the heat change for the water in the calorimeter. Constant Pressure Calorimetry Because the specific heat for water is well known (4.184 J/mol-K), we can measure H for the reaction with this equation: q = m c T Calorimetry Constant-Pressure Calorimetry - Atmospheric pressure is constant H = qP qsystem = -qsurroundings - The surroundings are composed of the water in the calorimeter and the calorimeter. qsystem = - (qwater + qcalorimeter) - For most calculations, the qcalorimeter can be ignored. qsystem = - qwater csystemmsystem Tsystem = - cwatermwater Twater Bomb Calorimetry Reactions can be carried out in a sealed “bomb,” such as this one, and measure the heat absorbed by the water. Bomb Calorimetry • Because the volume in the bomb calorimeter is constant, what is measured is really the change in internal energy, E, not H. • For most reactions, the difference is very small. Calorimetry Bomb Calorimetry (Constant-Volume Calorimetry) - Special calorimetry for combustion reactions - Substance of interest is placed in a “bomb” and filled to a high pressure of oxygen - The sealed bomb is ignited and the heat from the reaction is transferred to the water - This calculation must take into account the heat capacity of the calorimeter (this is grouped together with the heat capacity of water). qrxn = -Ccalorimeter(T) Calorimetry Problem 5.50 NH4NO3(s) NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) Twater = 18.4oC – 23.0oC = -4.6oC mwater = 60.0g cwater = 4.184J/goC msample = 3.88g qsample = -qwater qsample = -cwatermwater Twater qsample = -(4.184J/goC)(60.0g+3.88g)(-4.6oC) qsample = 1229J - Now calculate H in kJ/mol Calorimetry Problem 5.50 NH4NO3(s) NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) Twater = 18.4oC – 23.0oC = -4.6oC mwater = 60.0g cwater = 4.184J/goC msample = 3.88g qsample = 1229J moles NH4NO3 = 3.88g/80.032g/mol = 0.04848mol H = qsample/moles H = 1229J/0.04848mol H = 25.4 kJ/mol Calorimetry A 1.800g sample of octane, C8H18, was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/oC.

Hess’s Law Hess’s law states that “If a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, H for the overall reaction will be equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.” Hess’s Law Because H is a state function, the total enthalpy change depends only on the initial state of the reactants and the final state of the products. Hess’s Law – rxns in one step or multiple steps are additive because they are state functions • eg. • CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) 2H2O(g) 2H2O(l) • CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) H = - 802 kJ H = - 88 kJ H = - 890 kJ Practice – Calculate H for the conversion of graphite to diamond: • Cgraphite Cdiamond • Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g) • Cdiamond + O2(g) CO2(g) H = -393.5 kJ H = -395.4 kJ • Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g) H = -393.5 kJ • CO2(g) Cdiamond + O2(g) H = 395.4 kJ Cgraphite Cdiamond H = + 1.9 kJ Enthalpies of Formation - There are many type of H, depending on what you want to know Hvapor – enthalpy of vaporization (liquid gas) Hfusion – enthalpy of fusion (solid liquid) Hcombustion – enthalpy of combustion (energy from burning a substance) Enthalpies of Formation - A fundamental H is the Standard Enthalpy of Formation ( H of ) Enthalpies of Formation - A fundamental H is the Standard Enthalpy of Formation ( H of ) Standard Enthalpy of Formation ( H ) – The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of a substance from the most stable forms of its component elements at 298 Kelvin and 1 atmosphere pressure. o f Enthalpies of Formation - A fundamental H is the Standard Enthalpy of Formation ( H of ) Standard Enthalpy of Formation ( H ) – The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of a substance from the most stable forms of its component elements at 298 Kelvin and 1 atmosphere pressure. o f “The standard enthalpy of formation of the most stable form on any element is zero” Enthalpies of Formation Calculation of H C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) • Imagine this as occurring in 3 steps: C3H8 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 4 H2 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 3 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) 4 H2O (l) Calculation of H C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) • Imagine this as occurring in 3 steps: C3H8 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 4 H2 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 3 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) 4 H2O (l) Calculation of H C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) • Imagine this as occurring in 3 steps: C3H8 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 4 H2 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 3 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) 4 H2O (l) Calculation of H C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) • The sum of these equations is: C3H8 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 4 H2 (g) 3 C(graphite) + 3 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) 4 H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) 4 H2O (l) C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) Calculation of H We can use Hess’s law in this way: H = nHf(products) - mHf(reactants) where n and m are the stoichiometric coefficients.
