• Reaction absorbs heat with decrease in temperature • Reactions that evolve heat = ENDOTHERMIC • Heat is written as a reactant.
Energy is the capacity to do work or produce heat. It takes many faces:
• Radiant energy comes from the sun and is earth’s primary energy source (nuclear fusion)
• Thermal energy is the energy associated with the vibration and rotational motion of atoms and molecules.
• Chemical energy is the energy stored within the chemical bonds of substances.
• Nuclear energy is the energy stored within the neutrons and protons in the atom (E = mc2)
• Kinetic energy: energy associated with moving mass
• Potential energy: energy available by virtue of an object’s position or height above a reference height.
The SI Unit of energy is the Joule (kg m2/s2).
KE = 1/2 m ·v2 = 1/2 (kg)(m/s)2 = kg·m2/s2 = 1 joule
PE = mgh = (kg)(m/s2)(m) = kg·m2/s2 = 1 jouleg = acceleration gravity (9.8 m/s2), and h is object’s height.
Work = F x d = (ma) x d = (kg)(m/s2) x (m) = kg·m2/s2 = 1 joule
1 calorie (cal) = 4.18J
1 British Thermal Unit (BTU) = 1055 Joules
1000 calorie (cal) = 1 Cal (food calorie)
What is the kinetic energy (in kilojoules) of a 2300 lb car moving at 55 mi/h?
• KE = 1/2 mv2 =?• 1 Joule = 1 kg⋅m2/s2
• 1 mile = 1.609 km = 1609 m• 1 lb = 0.454 kg
A single Fritos chip snack has a energy content of 5.0 Cal. How many joules is this?
E = 5 Cal ! 1000 cal

• Energy is the capacity to do work and exchange heat-- it can take on many many forms.
• Work = Energy = Force x Distance.
• Thermal Energy is the kinetic energy of molecules in motion (translational, rotational, and vibrational).
• Heat is thermal energy transferred between two objects at different temperatures.
• Chemical Energy is energy stored in a chemical bond.
Thermodynamics uses a specialized vocabulary that we need to get used to.
• Reactants and products are the system; everything else is the surroundings.
• We track the energy flow into and out of the system.
• Loss of energy from the system to the surroundings has a negative sign.
• Increase of the system energy from the surroundings has a positive sign.
Thermodynamic Formalism: A system has a bulk property of matter that we call “internal energy”.

The internal energy, E, of a system is a bulk property of matter that on a microscopic level represents all energy within the system.
On a microscopic scale the internal energy is:
The internal energy of a system can only change by exchange of heat (q) and work (w) with the surroundings.

Mechanical work can be only be done by a system or on a system by the system being mechanically linked to the environment through P-V work.
• When pistons are attached there could be work done by the system or on the system.
• We call this: pressure-volume work or PV work.

Reworking our Internal Energy Equation, some points of clarification on confusing stuff.
Definition of Work
ΔEsys = q + w = q - PΔV = q - P(Vf - Vi)
ΔESys = q + wWorkHeat
Substituting
Definition of internal energy, ∆E
P = 5.0 atm ΔV = (14.5-12.0) L = 2.5 L w = –PΔVw = -(5.0 atm)(2.5 L) = -12.5 L·atm(-12.5 L·atm)(101 J/L·atm) = -1.3 × 103 J = -1.3 kJ
Calculate the work (in kilojoules) done during a reaction in which the volume expands from 12.0 L to 14.5 L against an external pressure of 5.0 atm. Watch the conversion of PV units to joules.
A sample of nitrogen gas expands in volume from 1.6 L to 5.4 L at constant temperature. What is the work done in joules if the gas expands (a) against a vacuum and (b) against a constant pressure of 3.7 atm?
w = -P ΔV
(a) ΔV = 5.4 L – 1.6 L = 3.8 LP = 0 atm
W = -0 atm x 3.8 L = 0 L•atm = 0 joules
(b) ΔV = 5.4 L – 1.6 L = 3.8 LP = 3.7 atm
w = -3.7 atm x 3.8 L = -14.1 L•atm
w = -14.1 L•atm x 101.3 J1L•atm
= -1430 J
The 1st Law of Thermodynamics that energy is neither created nor destroyed in any process, it is just transformed between the two boundaries.

A system does work on its surroundings. The energy is lost by the system.
We can not measure the “absolute” internal energy of a system......we can only measure changes in internal energy---we call this a “change in state”.
1. Mount Everest is king if measured from sea level (8,848 meters)2. Mauna Kea is when measured from the depths of the Pacific Ocean floor. It rises 10,203 meters. 3. Mt. Chimborazo in the Andes triumphs. Although it stands but 6,267 meters above sea level, its peak is the farthest from the earth's core.
Measurements are relative to something. What’s the tallest mountain in the world?

A state function is any math function that depends only on the initial and final states and not the path taken to between the two states.
The potential energy of hiker 1 and hiker 2 is the same even though they took very different paths to get to the mountain top. PE only depends on the initial and final heights only.

Determining A Change in Internal Energy
When gasoline burns in a car engine, the heat released causes the products CO2 and H2O to expand, which pushes the pistons outward. Excess heat is removed by the car’s cooling system. If the expanding gases do 451 J of work on the pistons and the system loses 325 J to the surroundings as heat, calculate the change in energy (ΔE) in J, kJ, and kcal.
Chemists don’t use internal energy to monitor energy changes in the lab. Instead, we define and use a related parameter called enthalpy.
ΔEsys = q + w = q - PΔV
ΔE = qV - PΔV
At constant volume: ΔV=0
ΔE = qV
CASE 2
ΔE = qP - PΔV
At constant pressure:
qP = ΔE + PΔV
CASE 1

I. In systems containing solids and liquids; there is no volume change (or it is small); PΔV = 0 and ΔH = ΔE
2. In reactions where the number of moles of gas does not change from reactants to products; no work is done.
N2(g) + O2(g) ==> 2NO(g) PΔV = 0 and ΔH = ΔE
3. Reactions in which the number of moles of gas does change but q is >>> PΔV.
ΔH = ΔE + PΔV
There are 3-Cases When ΔH = ΔE
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) ΔH = -2043 kJ
2) 2043 kJ are released and can be written as productC3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) + 2043 kJ
A thermochemical equation shows the enthalpy change (ΔH) of a chemical reaction and also the reactions stoichimetric factors.
1 mol C3H8(g) = -2043 kJ 5O2(g) = -2043 kJ

In order to apply Hess’s Law we must learn to interpret and manipulate thermochemical equations. The rules are:
• 1. The stoichiometric coefficients always refer to the number of moles of a substance---it’s extensive!
• 2. If you reverse a reaction, the sign of ΔH changes
• 3. If you multiply both sides of the equation by a factor n, then ΔH must change by the same factor n.

ni is the respective stoich coefficient for ith product mi is the respective stoich coefficient for each ith reactant
The enthalpy of any reaction, ΔH°rxn can be obtained by
using standard heats of formations and the following equation:
ΔH°rxn

ΔH°rx = [cΔH°f (C) + dΔH°f (D)] – [aΔH°f (A) + bΔH°f (B)]
