Measuring ∆H or ∆U at standard conditions

y

Problem – We need to measure ∆H or ∆U of the reaction atstandard conditions.

Solution – “Trick”• Using a cycle that is running the reaction virtually at 25C.• That is the theory for one of your lab class experiments.

Step 1

y

Reactants + calorimeter Products + calorimeterStep 125 C 25C + ∆T

∆T∆U = ?

We have a calorimeter. Thus, w = 0 (no work on surroundings)q = 0 (dewar) ∆U = q + w = 0

Step 2

Cool down the system to 25C.“Trick”: That generates a reference system at 25 C (standard conditions).

That’s thermo bulls… what about a real experiment?

y

Using an electrical heater is a little strange:it i i t ll “diffi lt”• it is experimentally “difficult”

but • has the advantage that we do not need to calibrate the system.

The lab class experiment works a little differently.

Not everybody is in the lab class, I know.y y ,BUT that’s thermodynamics.

Sometimes called “dispersion IR spectrometer” since it includes a prism or grating to disperse theprism or grating to disperse theelectro.mag. radiation

Idea of operation, briefly:p , y•The chopper splits the beam that consecutive the reference cell or the sample cell signal will reach the detector

• The mirror acts as a diffraction gratings selects a partition of the spectra.The mirror acts as a diffraction gratings selects a partition of the spectra.• If the sample does not adsorb at the selected frequency then the reference beam and sample beam have the same intensity and the amplifier will yield a zero signal

• Typically lock-in technique is use i.e. the amplifier is a little more sophisticatedthan shown in the scheme above.

Infrared spectroscopy – setup ---FTIR – Fourier-transform IR spectrometer

Idea of operation:

Th b ill b lit• The source beam will be split. • One part arrives at the detector “directly”.• The other one will be “delayed” by going

a longer way. g y

The difference in the traveling path length of these two beams will be modulated by a movable mirror. y(That’s the clue.)

• The interference of these two beams will be analyzed at the detector. The spectra (intensity vs. wave number) is the Fourier transformation of the interference signal (intensity vs position of the mirror)

Infrared spectroscopy – Michelson interferometer

The interferogram is a sum of cos waves,The interferogram is a sum of cos waves, each has an amplitude and frequency proportional to the source intensity at a particular infrared frequency.Reco ering this information is done b aRecovering this information is done by aFourier transformation.

More than one frequency of the source

Main idea:

We measure an intensity as a function of time(i.e. as a function of the position of the 2nd

mirror which is changing with time)mirror which is changing with time)that is the interference of the sample and reference beam.

This intensity vs. time signal is converted in anintensity vs, frequency signal by means of a Fourier transformation.
