Thermochemistry

Thermodynamics

Study of the changes in energy and transfers of energy that accompany chemical and physical processes. address 3 fundamental questions

Will two (or more) substances react when they are mixed under specified conditions?

If they do react, what energy changes and transfers are associated with their reaction?

If a reaction occurs, to what extent does it occur?

constant. Energy can be converted from one form to another but

cannot be created.

Some Thermodynamic Terms

System - substances involved in the chemical and physical changes under investigation for us this is what is happening inside the beaker

Surroundings - rest of the universe outside the beaker

Universe - system plus surroundings

Some Thermodynamic Terms

Thermodynamic State of a System - set of conditions that describe and define the system number of moles of each substance physical states of each substance temperature pressure

State Functions - properties of a system that depend only on the state of the system capital letters

Some Thermodynamic Terms

state functions are independent of pathway climbing a mountain, taking two different paths

E1 = energy at bottom of mountainE1 = mgh1

E2 = energy at top of mountainE2 = mgh2

E2- E1 = mgh2 - mgh1 = mg(h)

Some Thermodynamic Terms

Properties that depend only on values of state functions are also state functions examples:

• T• P• V

Enthalpy Change, H

Commonly, chemistry is done at constant pressure open beakers on a desk top are at atmospheric pressure

H - enthalpy changechange in heat content at constant pressureH = qp

Hrxn - heat of reactionHrxn = Hproducts - HreactantsHrxn = Hsubstances produced - Hsubstances consumed

Calorimetry

coffee-cup calorimeter - used to measure the amount of heat produced (or absorbed) in a reaction at constant P measures qP

Calorimetry

exothermic reaction - heat evolved by reaction is determined from the temperature rise of the solution 2 part calculation

Amount of heat gained by calorimeter is the heat capacity of the calorimeter or calorimeter constant value determined by adding a specific amount of heat to

calorimeter and measuring T rise

Amount of heatreleased by reaction

Amount of heatgained by calorimeter

Thermochemical Equations

Thermochemical equations are a balanced chemical reaction plus the H value for the reaction. for example:

coefficients in thermochemical equations must be interpreted as numbers of moles

1 mol of C5H12 reacts with 8 mol of O2 to produce 5 mol of CO2, 6 mol of H2O, and releasing 3523 kJ is referred to as one mole of reactions
