1st law of thermodynamics
internal energy of isolated system is constant, energy conserved, energy not created nor destroyed
2nd law of thermodynamics
entropy tends to increase
what is energy?
capacity to supply heat or do work
what is kinetic energy?
energy of motion, when temperature raised the motion of the molecules goes up, heat or work can be done
what is potential energy?
energy of position, stored energy, can become heat or work
what is the universe composed of?
the system and the surroundings, when system absorbs energy surroundings must release energy
what is 1st law thermo in mathematical terms?
delta E universe = 0, delta E system = - E surroundings, delta E = q + w where q = heat disorganized energy, something we feel and w = work organized energy, something we see
delta E equation, and what does positive or negative delta E mean
E final - E initial
positive delta E means the system’s energy increased (ex heated water) and negative delta E means a system’s energy decreased (ex cooled water)
in delta E work and heat equation, what does +q, -q, +w, -w mean?
positive q means heat is absorbed by the system (endothermic), negative q means heat given off by system (exothermic). positive w means work done ON system and negative w means work done BY the system
formula for work
-delta ng (R)(T)
what is delta ng?
n gas products - n gas reactants
what is value of R to be used in work calculations with gases?
8.314 J * mol^-1 K^-1
Kelvin conversion
Temperature in Celsius + 273.15
when ng greater than 0 and when ng less than 0
expansion versus compression
other r value to be used in later chapter 4
0.08206 L-atm/K-mol
when to use what R value
for osmotic pressure calculations use 0.0821 L-atm/K-mol and for work calculations use 8.314 J/K-mol
NUMBER ONE TIP
WRITE OUT UNITS AND KNOW THEMMM
NUMBER 2 TIP
DO SIG FIGS CAREFULLY
energy in constant volume
delta E is equal to the energy transferred as heat, qv, at constant volume w = 0 so delta E = q
delta E = q+w 3 components
qv = heat at constant volume
qp = heat at constant pressure
-nRT = work at constant pressure
what does qp in delta E = q+w lead to
delta H (enthalpy of reaction)
delta H meaning
delta H > 0 endothermic
delta H < 0 exothermic
equation with enthalpy and work at constant pressure
delta E = delta H +- nRT
what is enthalpy of reaction?
heat absorbed by the reaction at constant pressure
