Thermo chem Flashcards
(41 cards)
The first law of thermodynamics states that
- Total energy of the universe is constant
- Energy can be converted to other forms however total energy of any system is conserved( It cannot be created nor destroyed)
Two fundamental type of energy
- Kinetic Energy (Ek): The energy of the motion of particle
- Potential Energy (Ep): Energy is that is stored in the bond of chemical
The Second Law Of Thermodynamic States That
In the absence of energy input the system will be in disordered
heat will always transfer from hot object to cooler object until thermal equilibrium is reached
TEMPERATURE CHANGE
What is temperature?
Its is the measure of kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
- Faster the particle moves = Higher temperature
Three factor the amount of energy needs to heat a substance
The mass of substance
The change in temperature
The type of substance (heat capacity)
Q= MCT
ENERGY AND ENTHALPY
What is enthalpy
- Sum of all forms of kinetic and potential energy in a system (Ek + Ep)
Enthalpy of individual substance cannot be measured (Ek can with thermometer but how to measure Ep)
Change in enthalpy occur whenever heat is released or absorbed in a physical, chemical change or nuclear change this can be measured
Rules for Enthalpy
- measured in J or KJ
- subscripts are used to denote type of process for the reaction
rH = Enthalpy Reaction
The symbol “*” (its an o) used to denote change taking in standard conditions
rH* = Standard enthalpy of reaction
Molar enthalpy
- Molar enthalpy is the enthalpy change per mole of a substance
- Molar enthalpy is also designated as (triangle)H although ill be just using H in the formula
- Can be measured in J/mol or KJ/mol
D. Energy Change In Chemical Reactions
- Change in potential energy take place during chemical reaction when one substance is converted to another substance
- Chemical bond are a source of stored potential energy
- Brea king bond required energy
- Forming bond releases energy
Photosynthesis
6CO2(g) + H2O + energy = C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)
Endothermic
> If the energy added to break the bond is greater than the energy released when the new bond is formed then the reaction is endothermic
- Designated as positive values since energy is being added to the system
Exothermic
> If the energy added to break the bond is less than the energy released when the new bond are formed then the reaction is exothermic
- designated as negative value since energy is being lost in the system
Important !
The amount of energy lost or gained is directly proportional to the amount of substance that react
eg if 100g of a substance burning will release twice as much energy comapared to when 50g of that same substance burns

COMMUNICATING ENTHALPY CHANGES
Exothermic reaction (energy released )
- rH Notation
- The heat of reaction can be given as a (triangle0 rH value outside of the equation
- The sign on (triangle) rH is negative since the enthalpy of the system is decreasing - Inside The Equation
- In an exothermic reaction enthalpy is included as a product
X + X = X + X + energy - Potential Energy Diagram
- Shows the potential energy of the reactants and the product of a chemical reaction
- Reactant have more potential energy than the product is an exothermic reaction
The difference between reactant and product is the (triangle)rH
Endothermic (energy absorbed)
- rH Notation
- The sign on rH is positive since the enthalpy of the system is increasing - Inside the Equation
- In an endothermic reaction enthalpy is included as a reactant - Potential Energy Diagrams
- Reactant have less potential energy than the product in an endothermic reaction
- The difference between the reactant and the product is the rH
CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE
(triangle)rH = nrH
- Molar enthalpy, kJ/mol aand the number of moles of substance can be used to calculate the enthalpy change of chemical change.
- Number of mole can come from the balancing in the chemical reaction or from the formula n = m/M
positive endothermic
negative exothermic
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry is a technological process of measuring energy changes using an isolated system
- The isolated system used to determine the heat involved in a phase change or in a chemical reaction is called calorimeter
Steps for Using a Simple Calorimeter
- Measure mass or volume of water (mass small can - mass of can when empty)
- Measure initial mass of reactant
- Measure the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter
- Add the reactant to the calorimeter
- Allow reaction to proceed, stirring the solution to ensure even temperature.
- Measure the final temperature of the water in the calorimeter (maximum temperature for the endothermic reaction)
- Final mass of reactant (triangle)m = initial mass - final mass
Calorimeter points
- Calorimetry is based on the First and Second law of Thermodynamics.. energy is conserved and energy is transferred from hotter objects to cooler objects until thermal equilibrium is reached
- It is assumed that no energy is gained or lost by the system except for the energy required to released by the chemical change
Calculation are based on the Principle of Heat Transfer
Heat loss = Heat gain
Exo: Hl(rxn) = HG(water)
Endo; Hl(water) = HG(rxn)
Endo is when water temperature decreased
Exo is when water temperature increase
