Basis concepts of Thermochemistry
Goal: Using the general concept of minimal Gibbs free energy for chemical reactions
at constant T& P to derive law of mass action
To apply the concept of minimal Gibbs free energy in chemical reactions we need
generalization of single component systems (such as water only)
G   N and dG  SdT  VdP  dN
to
Multi-component systems
For now restriction to single phase systems (think of chemical reaction of gases into a gaseous product
such as 𝑂2 + 2𝐶𝑂 ⇄ 2𝐶𝑂2 )
The Gibbs free energy of a multi-component system with Nj particles in each
component reads
G = G(N1 , … , Nj , … , T, P)
Using homogeneity of G according to
𝐺 𝜆𝑁1 , … , 𝜆𝑁𝑗 , … , 𝑇, 𝑃 = 𝜆𝐺 𝑁1 , … , 𝑁𝑗 , … , 𝑇, 𝑃

On the way towards the law of mass action let’s derive a useful relation
(Gibbs-Duham) between change of the chemical potentials
as a result of particle exchange
With

dG = −SdT + VdP +
and

When T and P are constant

𝑗 𝑑𝜇𝑗 𝑁𝑗

telling us that the chemical potentials
of the different components are related
For example: in a 2 component mixture when knowing 𝜇1 we can calculate
𝜇2 from 𝑁1 𝑑𝜇1 + N2 d𝜇2 = 0
Law of mass action
Let’s consider a chemical reaction among  species (components)
For example the reaction 3𝐻2 + 𝑁2 ⇌ 2𝑁𝐻3
Dh=-92,5kJ/mol
Let’s write this in the form -3𝐻2 − 𝑁2 + 2𝑁𝐻3 =0
Or in a general notation
𝜁1 𝐴1 + 𝜁2 𝐴2 + ⋯ + 𝜁𝜎 𝐴𝜎 = 0
stoichiometric coefficient
For example: -3𝐻2 − 𝑁2 + 2𝑁𝐻3 =0 with
Aj is a product if 𝜁𝑗 > 0
𝜁 𝑁𝐻3 = 2 and 𝑁𝐻3 product
Aj is a reactant if 𝜁𝑗 < 0 𝜁 𝐻2 = −3 and 𝐻2 reactant , 𝜁 𝑁2 = −1 and 𝑁2 reactant
Reaction goes in both directions: where is the equilibrium
At constant T and P: equilibrium determined by
G = G(N1 , … , Nj , … , T, P)
minimum
dG = 0
dG = −SdT + VdP +
With
𝑗 𝜇𝑗 𝑑𝑁𝑗
=0
𝑗 𝜇𝑗 𝑑𝑁𝑗
and T,P constant
in equilibrium
If we look, e.g., at the forward direction of the reaction we identify
𝑗 𝜇𝑗 𝜁𝑗
𝑑𝑁𝑗 = 𝜁𝑗
=0

If Δℎ < 0 heat leaves the system, the reaction is exothermic
𝜅 decreases with increasing T and the yield goes down
(consider the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into water. At high temperature (about 6000K ) there is
virtually no yield
for water and at even higher T water dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen.)
If Δℎ > 0 the reaction is endotherm
𝜅 increases with increasing T and the yield goes up
The Haber-Bosch process
An example to utilize the full potential of the law of mass action
Industrial route to ammonia (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1918, Fritz Haber)
Let’s recall:
3𝐻2 + 𝑁2 ⇌ 2𝑁𝐻3
Dh=-92,5kJ/mol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fritz_Haber.png
Fritz Haber, 1868-1934
At room temperature the reaction is slow (note: our equilibrium considerations say
nothing about kinetics ! )
Is it a good idea to increase T to increase reaction speed
Equilibrium consideration from law of mass action limits this possibility
Since Δℎ < 0
reaction is exothermic 𝜅 decreases with increasing T and the
yield goes down
Compromise:
T not higher than needed
for catalyst to work (400 C)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process
Can pressure be utilized to favor the forward direction
Law of mass action provides the answer: Yes
Let’s recall -3𝐻2 − 𝑁2 + 2𝑁𝐻3 =0
𝜁1 𝐴1 + 𝜁2 𝐴2 + ⋯ + 𝜁𝜎 𝐴𝜎 = 0

𝜁 𝑁2 = −1

𝜁𝑗 = −3 − 1 + 2 = −2 < 0
high-pressure reactor (1913) in the ammonia plant
of the Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik (BASF)
𝜅
increases with increasing P
Expenses/technical reasons of high P equipment bring limitations to this approach
Compromise: 6–18 MPa (59–178 atm)
Finally: we have seen from the discussion of stability conditions
A perturbation away from equilibrium creates a force driving the system back
(Le Chatelier’s principle)
removing NH3 will increase yield of production

(In the Haber-Bosch process ammonia is
removed as a liquid)
