Thermodymanics

Thermodynamics is a branch of science that focuses on energy changes that accompany chemical and physical changes.

Objective: To calculate heat capacity.

Heat (q): The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.

Unit: joules (J)

Molar Heat Capacity: Energy (heat) needed to increase the temperature of 1 mol of substance by 1 K.

q = nC∆T

q = heatn = # of molesC = molar heat capacity∆T = change in temperature

The molar heat capacity of water is larger than the molar heat capacity of land. This means that water does not heat up as easily as land does. As a result, oceans can help keep coastal areas cool during the summer.

The filling of a fruit pie has a larger heat capacity than the crust. This means that fruit filling will retain heat better and the crust will cool much quicker. As a result, eating the fruit filling can cause burns (even though it may appear that the pie is cool).

Objective: To calculate the change in enthalpy.

The total energy of a system is impossible to measure.

However, we can measure the change in enthalpy of a system.

Enthalpy: The total energy content of a sample.

H = Enthalpy ∆H = Change in Enthalpy

∆H can be measured with a calorimeter.

A calorimeter is used to measure the heat absorbed or released in a chemical or physical change.

Enthalpy changes can be used to determine if a process is endothermic or exothermic.

Exothermic Reaction: Negative Enthalpy Change

Endothermic Reaction: Positive Enthalpy Changes

The standard enthalpy of formation ( ) is the enthalpy change in forming 1 mol of a substance from elements in their standard states.

Objective: To calculate the change in entropy.

A reaction is more likely to occur if enthalpy (ΔH) is negative.

However, some endothermic reactions can occur easily. Why? Entropy!

Entropy (ΔS): A measure of the randomness or disorder of a system.

A process if more likely to occur if there is an increase in entropy (or if ΔS is positive).

Entropy is increased by the following factors:Diffusion (process of dispersion)Dilution of a solutionDecreasing the pressure of a gas Increasing temperatureThe number of moles of product is greater

than the number of moles of reactant Increasing the total number of particles in a

systemWhen a reaction produces more gas
