Thermochemistry (Energetics)


The study of energy involved during chemical
reactions
Heat:



the energy of motion of molecules
All matter has moving particles at stp
Temperature:

transfer of heat to a substance because of faster
molecular movement (as long as there is no phase
change)


A temperature change is explained as a change in
kinetic energy (movement)
Temperature depends on the quantity of heat (q)
flowing out or in of the substance.

Energy flowing in the system = Endothermic



Has a positive value
Energy entering (feels cool)
Energy flowing out of the system = Exothermic


Has a negative value
Energy exiting (feels warm)
Heat (q)
q=mc ∆t




q=heat
m=mass
∆t=change in temperature (tf-ti)
c=specific heat capacity (J (g oC)-1)
Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to
raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance
by one degree Celsius.
Law of conservation of energy



∆E universe = O
The total energy of the universe is constant, it
is not created or destroyed, however it can be
transferred from one substance to another.
∆E universe = ∆E system + ∆E surroundings
First Law of thermodynamics




Any change in energy of a system is
equivalent by an opposite change in energy of
the surroundings.
∆E system = - ∆E surroundings
According to this law, any energy released or
absorbed by a system will have a transfer of
heat, q.
So, q system = - q surroundings
Sample Problem


15 g of ice was added to 60.0 g of water. The
Ti of water was 26.5 oC, the final temperature
of the mixture was 9.7 oC. How much heat
was lost by the water?
q=mc ∆t
q=(60.0 g) (4.18 J/g oC) (9.7-26.5 oC)
q= - 4213.44 J [-4.2 kJ]

Enthalpy (∆H)


Total kinetic and potential energy of a system under constant
pressure.
The internal energy of a reactant or product cannot be
measured, but their change in enthalpy (heat of reaction) can.
∆ H = Hproducts – Hreactants

A change in enthalpy occurs during phase changes, chemical
reactions and nuclear reactions.
∆ H system = q surroundings
Endothermic Reactions
Method 1: enthalpy level diagram
Endothermic Reactions
Method 2: enthalpy term outside of the
equation
2 HgO (s)  2 Hg (l) + O2(g) ΔH=181.67 kJ
Method 3: enthalpy term within the equation
2 HgO (s) + 181.67 kJ  2 Hg (l) + O2(g)
Exothermic Reactions

Exothermic Reactions
Method 2:
4Al(s)+ 3O2(g) 2 Al2O3(g) ΔH=-1675.7 kJ
Method 3:
4 Al(s) + 3O2(g) 2 Al2O3(g) +1675.7 kJ

Unit is (J/oC) because its always with a set
mass, so it is redundant to repeat the term
over.


Standard implies the states of the particle at 1 atm
and at 0oC.
Quantity of energy released (-) or absorbed (+) when
one mole of a compound is formed directly from its
elements at standard temperature and pressure.
We use a table to find them.
Unit for ΔHof: kJ/mol
Watch your states!
Practice:


What is the standard molar enthalpy of
formation for the following reaction?
2 Na (s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl (s) + 814 kJ
By definition, the standard molar enthalpy
of formation is for ONE mole of product formed.

Remember that these reactions are only
measured once cooled to 25oC
Combustion is a reaction with oxygen as a

Amount of a substance reacting matters, so
can use q= nΔH.
Remember n=amount of moles.
If you are given a mass (g) and molar mass
(g/mol), then you can solve for n by dividing
mass by molar mass. (review from Topic 1
