Energy & Chemistry
ENERGY is the capacity to
do work or transfer heat.
HEAT is the form of energy
that flows between 2
objects because of their
difference in temperature.

body has by virtue of
its position.

Kinetic and Potential Energy
Summary
• Chemical Energy is due to the potential
energy stored in the arrangements of
the atoms in a substance.
• If you run a reaction that releases heat,
you are releasing the energy stored in
the bonds.
• Energy because of temperature is
associated with the kinetic (movement)
energy of the atoms and molecules.

Internal Energy (E)*
• PE + KE = Internal energy (E)
(1st Law of Thermodynamics)
• Internal energy of a chemical
system depends on
• number of particles
• type of particles
• temperature
*Note: Internal energy is sometimes
symbolized by U

Internal Energy (E)
PE + KE = Internal energy (E)

14
Internal Energy (E)
• The higher the T
the higher the
internal energy
• So, use changes
in T (∆T) to
monitor changes
in energy (∆E).

15
Thermodynamics
• Thermodynamics is the science of
energy transfer as heat.
Heat energy is associated
with molecular motions.
Energy transfers as heat until
thermal equilibrium is established.
∆T measures energy transferred.

System and Surroundings
• SYSTEM
– The object under study
• SURROUNDINGS
– Everything outside the
system
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
17
Directionality of Energy Transfer

• Energy transfer as heat is always from a
hotter object to a cooler one.
• EXOthermic: energy transfers from
SYSTEM to SURROUNDINGS.
T(system) goes down
T(surr) goes up
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Directionality of Energy Transfer
• Energy transfer at heat is always from a
hotter object to a cooler one.
• ENDOthermic: heat transfers from
SURROUNDINGS to the SYSTEM.

T (surr) goes down

Energy and Temperature Summary
1) Temperature determines the
direction of thermal energy
transfer.
2) The higher the temperature of a
given object, the greater the
thermal energy (molecular
motion) of its atoms, ions, or
molecules.
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
21
Energy and Temperature Summary
3) Heating and cooling are
processes by which energy is
transferred as heat from an
object at higher temperature to
one at lower temperature.
• Heat is not a substance but a
‘process quantity.’ That is
heating is a process that changes
the energy of a system.
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Energy & Chemistry
All of thermodynamics depends
on the law of
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY.
• The total energy is unchanged
in a chemical reaction.
• If potential energy (PE) of
products is less than reactants,
the difference must be released
as kinetic energy (KE).

Work
•
Work = P × A × Δh = PΔV
– P is pressure.
– A is area.
– Δh is the piston moving a
distance.
– ΔV is the change in volume.

Work
•
•
For an expanding gas, ΔV is a positive quantity
because the volume is increasing. Thus ΔV and w
must have opposite signs:
w = –PΔV
To convert between L·atm and Joules, use 1 L·atm
= 101.3 J.

Practice
Which of the following performs more
work?
a) A gas expanding against a pressure
of 2 atm from 1.0 L to 4.0 L.
b) A gas expanding against a pressure
of 3 atm from 1.0 L to 3.0 L.
They perform the same amount of work.

Specific Heat Capacity Example
If 25.0 g of Al cool from 310 oC to 37 oC, what amount of
energy (J) has been transferred by the Al?
heat gain/lose = q = (mass)(Sp. Heat)(∆T)
or
q = m x Cp x ∆T
where ∆T = Tfinal - Tinitial
q = (25.0 g) (0.897 J/g•K)(37 - 310)K
q = - 6120 J
Notice that the negative sign on q signals
heat “lost by” or transferred OUT of Al.

Energy Transfer
• Use energy transfer as a
way to find specific heat
capacity, Cp
• 55.0 g Fe at 99.8 ˚C
• Drop into 225 g water at
21.0 ˚C
• Water and metal come to
23.1 ˚C
• What is the specific heat
capacity of the metal?
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
41
Energy Transfer Important Points
• Iron and the water are the system, the beaker
holding the water and everything else is the
surroundings.
• The iron and water end up at the same temp.
• The energy transferred as heat from the iron to the
water is negative (temp of Fe drops). The qwater
increase is positive because the temp of water
increases.
• The values of qwater and qiron are numerically equal
but opposite in sign.
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
Energy Transfer
Because of conservation of energy,
q(Fe) = –q(H2O) (energy out of Fe = energy into H2O)
or q(Fe) + q(H2O) = 0
q(Fe) = (55.0 g)(Cp)(23.1 ˚C – 99.8 ˚C)
q(Fe) = –4219 • Cp
q(H2O) = (225 g)(4.184 J/K•g)(23.1 ˚C – 21.0 ˚C)
q(H2O) = 1977 J
q(Fe) + q(H2O) = –4219 Cp + 1977 = 0
Cp = 0.469 J/K•g

ENTHALPY
Most chemical reactions occur at constant P, so
Heat transferred at constant P = qp
qp =
∆H
where H
= enthalpy
and so ∆E = ∆H + w (and w is usually small)
∆H = energy transferred as heat at constant P ≈ ∆E
∆H = change in heat content of the system
∆H = Hfinal - Hinitial
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
43
ENTHALPY
∆H = Hfinal – Hinitial
If Hfinal > Hinitial then ∆H is positive
Process is ENDOTHERMIC
If Hfinal < Hinitial then ∆H is negative
Process is EXOTHERMIC
Enthalpy is an extensive property!!
© 2009 Brooks/Cole - Cengage
44
Practice Using Enthalpy
 Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and
oxygen by the following reaction:
2H2O2(l)  2H2O(l) + O2(g) ∆H = -196 kJ
–Calculate the value of energy
transferred when 5.00 g of H2O2(l)
decomposes at constant pressure.
Hints: What is enthalpy of reaction if only 1 mole of
peroxide is decomposed?

45
Practice Using Enthalpy
– Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen by
the following reaction:
2H2O2(l)  2H2O(l) + O2(g)
∆H = -196 kJ
 -196 kJ/2 mol peroxide = -98 kJ/mol of peroxide
5.0 g * (1 mol/34 g H2O2) = 0.147 mol H2O2
= 0.147 mol H2O2 * -98 kJ/mol peroxide
= -14.4 kJ
Heat is a stoichiometric value which works the
same way as last year.

Consider the formation of water
H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)  H2O(g) + 241.8 kJ

Enthalpy and Hess’s Law
• If a reaction is reversed, the sign of ∆H is also
reversed.
Xe(g) + 2F2(g)  XeF4(s) ∆H=-251 kJ
XeF4(s)  Xe(g) + 2F2(g) ∆H = +251 kJ
• ∆H is also proportional to the quantities of the
reactants and product (mol-rxn). If you multiply
the coefficients by an integer, the ∆H value is
multiplied by the same integer.

to decide how to manipulate the other
given reactions at your disposal.
• Reverse any reactions as needed to give
the required reactants and products.

• This equation is valid because
∆H is a STATE FUNCTION
• These depend only on the state
of the system and not how it got
there.
• V, T, P, energy — and your bank
account!

measure absolute H. Can only
measure ∆H.

Heats of Reactions
(∆H⁰(r or rxn) = generic reaction)

• ∆H⁰combustion or ∆H⁰comb is amount of heat release when 1
mol of a substance is combusted (burned).
Ex: CH4 + 2O2  CO2 + 2H2O(g) ∆H = -890 kJ/mol
• ∆H⁰neutralization is the amount of heat released or
absorbed when an acid is neutralized by a base
Ex: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
∆Hneut =-57 kJ/mol-rxn

Heats of (Physical) Process
(∆H⁰process = generic process)
81
• ∆H⁰solution is the amount of heat released or absorbed
when a solid compound dissolves and becomes
aqueous.
Ex: NaOH(s)  Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ∆H⁰sol = -43 kJ/mol
• ∆H⁰fusion is the amount of heat needed to change 1
mole of a solid substance to a liquid, i.e. melting.
Ex: H2O(s)  H2O(l) ∆H ⁰fus= 6.0 kJ/mol
• ∆H⁰vaporization is the amount of heat needed to change 1
mole of a liquid to a vapor. Can use opposite too.
Ex: H2O(l)  H2O(g) ∆H ⁰vap= 40.7 kJ/mol

Using Standard Enthalpy Values
Calculate the heat of combustion of
methanol, i.e., ∆Hocomb for
CH3OH(g) + 3/2 O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
∆Hocomb =  ∆Hfo (prod) -  ∆Hfo (react)

Using Standard Enthalpy Values
CH3OH(g) + 3/2 O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
∆Hocomb =  ∆Hfo (prod) -  ∆Hfo (react)
∆Hocomb = ∆Hfo (CO2) + 2 ∆Hfo (H2O)
- {3/2 ∆Hfo (O2) + ∆Hfo (CH3OH)}
= (-393.5 kJ) + 2 (-241.8 kJ)
- {0 + (-201.5 kJ)}
∆Hocomb = -675.6 kJ per mol of methanol

r H    n f H   products    m f H   reactants 
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)→ 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
ΔH° = 3ΔH°(CO2) + 4 ΔH°(H2O(l))–[ΔH°(C3H8) + 5ΔH°f(O2)]
Hocomb = 3 (-393.5) + 4 (-285.8) – [-103.8 + 5(0)]
