Energy
Energy is defined as the ability to do work.
There are several forms of energy
Kinetic energy – energy due to motion EK = 1/2mv2
Potential energy – the energy due to the position of a particle in a field
e.g. Gravitational, electrical, magnetic etc.

Thermochemistry
Energy
The unit of energy is the Joule (J) and
1 J = 1 kgm2s-2
Thermochemistry is the study of chemical energy and of the conversion of chemical energy into other forms of energy.
It is part of thermodynamics – the study of the flow of heat.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Thermochemically, we define the system as the part of the universe under study and the surroundings as everything else.
Systems come in three forms:
Open The system can exchange matter and energy with the surroundings
Closed The system can exchange energy only with the surroundings
Isolated There is no exchange of matter or of energy with the surroundings
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Matter is continually in motion and has an internal energy that is composed of several different types
There is
Translation Rotation Vibration Potential
between molecules and inside molecules.
The internal energy is written as U

The internal energy is directly connected to heat and the transfer of heat.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Heat is the transfer of internal energy between the surroundings and the system or between systems.
The direction of the heat flow is indicated by the temperature
– heat flows along a Temperature gradient
from high temperature to low temperature.
When the temperature of the system and that of the surroundings are equal, the system is said to be
in thermal equilibrium

Energy is the capacity to do work
but what is work?
Work is the action of a force over a distance. To be able to do work, we must be able to exert a force over a distance. During this process, energy is expended.
w = F x d
where w is the work, F is the force and d is the distance. Work is measured in Joules.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
PV work
When a gas expands against an external pressure, for example in a cylinder, against a constant weight (weight being a force.....) the work done can be written as
w = F x d
As P = F then F = PA
A
Thus w = PAd
and as Ad = Vfinal – Vinitial = V
Then w = PV
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
PV work
By convention, the work done when a gas expands is negative,
Thus
w = - PV
for an expanding gas

State Functions
The state of a system is defined by the precise conditions of the system:
The quantity and type of matter present
The temperature and pressure
The molecular structure of the system
As 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles, defining the state of a system uniquely is experimentally impossible in an absolute sense.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
State Functions and U
The internal energy, U, of a system is a function of the state of the system.
Although we cannot measure the absolute state of a system, we can measure changes in the state of the system in a relative way, by measuring the work and the heat that takes place during a chemical change.
As U is a function of the state of the system, it does not depend on the way the state of the system is prepared – it is independent of the path.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
State Functions and U
U is therefore a state function of the system. It depends only on the present state of the system and not on the previous history or the path by which the system was prepared.
Because we have no measure of the state of a system, or of the internal energy, we can only measure the change in the state, through the observation of work and transfers of heat into and out of the system.

Internal Energy, U and State Functions
Energy, and therefore the capacity to do work is present in all matter.
This internal energy is stored in translational, rotational, vibrational and potential forms or modes in the material.
The exact distribution of energy defines the state of the system, together with external variables such as pressure, temperature.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Internal Energy, U and State Functions
U is a function of the state of the material only, not of the history of the sample or the path taken to prepare the state of the sample.
Heat is the transfer of energy between the surroundings and the sample
- the symbol for heat is q
Work is the result of a force acting over a distance
- the symbol for work is w
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Internal Energy, U and State Functions
Heat and work are the only two ways of changing the internal energy of a system.
Temperature is defined by the direction of the flow of heat, which is always from high temperature to low temperature.
When the the temperature of the system and the surroundings are the same, the system is at thermal equilibrium with it’s surroundings.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
The sign conventions of thermochemistry
When the internal energy of the system rises, this energy change has a positive sign.
- The energy of the system rises when heat is absorbed
- The energy of the system rises when work is done on the system e.g. a gas is compressed
- in these cases, q is positive
w is positive
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryThe sign conventions of thermochemistry
When the internal energy of the system lowers, this energy change has a negative sign.
- The energy of the system lowers when heat is leaves the system
- The energy of the system rises when the system does work e.g. a gas expands against an external pressure
- in these cases, q is negative
w is negative
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryInternal energy rises:
q > 0
w > 0
Internal energy drops:
q < 0
w < 0
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryThe First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy can be exchanged but cannot be created or destroyed.
It is a statement of the Law of Conservation of Energy
U = Ufinal – Uinitial = q + w
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryChemical applications of the 1st Law
Any chemical change can be characterized as an
Endothermic change
or an
Exothermic change.
In an exothermic reaction, internal chemical energy is converted into heat, which leaves the system if the system is not isolated or causes the temperature to rise if the system in isolated.
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryChemical applications of the 1st Law
In an endothermic reaction, heat is required to drive the chemical reaction and in an isolated system, the temperature will fall. In an non-isolated system, heat is absorbed from the surroundings.
Exothermic T rises (isolated)
q negative (non-isolated)
Endothermic T falls (isolated)
q positive (non-isolated)
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryReactions at constant pressure and constant volume
At constant volume, V = 0 and so
UV = qV - PV
UV = qV + 0 = qV
When the system can do PV work, i.e. a system at constant pressure,
UP = qP - PV
where w = - PV
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryMost reactions take place at constant pressure and therefore we define a new function, which is a state function in the same way that U is a state function
Rearranging
UP = qP - PV
UP + PV = qP
We term qP the enthalpy of the reaction
qP = H = UP + PV
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryEnthalpy is an extensive property – one that depends on the quantity of the material present in the reaction.
This follows directly from the fact that the enthalpy is the heat generated by a reaction
– there is more energy released from 1000 kg of methane when it burns than from 1 g.
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryEnthalpies and internal energies are measured in kJ mol-1 and the stoichiometry of a reaction is directly applicable to the enthalpy – half the quantity of the reaction results in half the enthalpy change taking place.
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryWe can characterize reactions as endothermic or exothermic using the enthalpy, H.
If the enthalpy change is negative, the reaction is exothermic and heat is given out by the system

H
Chemistry 120
ThermochemistryUsing the enthalpy, we can account for the heat entering a reaction at constant pressure – in the same way that we account for the products and reactants in a reaction.
In an endothermic reaction, the energy absorbed by the system can be considered as a reactant.
Conversely, an exothermic reaction, one which evolves heat, has the energy as a product.

Heat Capacities
When a definite quantity of energy is absorbed by materials, the temperature rises.With different materials, the temperature rise, T, is different.
The quantity of energy required to raise a quantity of material by 1 K is termed the heat capacity.
Mathematically,
C = q T
where C is the heat capacity, q is the heat.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Heat Capacities
The specific heat is the heat per gram of sample and the molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per mole.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Specific Heats, Molar Heats and Calorimetry
The heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise a given quantity of a substance by 1 K
The specific heat 1 gram though 1 K
The molar heat 1 mole through 1 K
The units of heat capacity are
Jg-1K-1 (specific heat) or Jmol-1K-1 (molar heat)
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Specific Heats, Molar Heats and Calorimetry
To calculate the heat transferred to a sample we use
q = quantity x heat capacity x T
For the specific heat
q = mCsT where m = mass
For the molar heat
q = nCmT where n = no. of moles
Make sure that the units of the heat capacity matches the units of quantity that is in the heat equation
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Specific Heats, Molar Heats and Calorimetry
To measure the heat capacity, a calorimeter is used.
A calorimeter measures heat transfers, heats of reaction or heats of dissolution.

Specific Heats, Molar Heats and Calorimetry
In principle, they consist of an insulated chamber and an accurate way of measuring temperature (a thermocouple or thermometer).
Insulation ensures that the only heat involved in the temperature rise is that inside the calorimeter.

Bomb Calorimetry
For reactions which generate gas, the PV work makes a significant contribution and the quanitiy we will measure in an open calorimeter is the enthalpy. We cannot easily measure the PV work in this case.
We can measure U in a bomb calorimeter – one where the volume change is zero and therefore V = 0.
The calorimeter is calibrated using a known sample.

Hess’ Law of Summation
If we wish to determine the heat of reaction or formation of a compound which is not stable, cannot be isolated or cannot be measured for some reason, we use Hess’ Law to determine this quantity.
Hess’ law states that the
the heat of reaction is constant and is not determined by the path of the reaction.
We know this as U (and H) is a state function
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Hess’ Law of Summation
Practically, if we can find a cycle of reactions that is measureable, then we can derive the unmeasurable quantity as we know the total sum of all the energy changes in the cycle.

The combustion of C results in the formation of CO2 in a bomb calorimeter. The heat of formation
of CO is therefore hard to measure.
We can measure the heat of combustion of CO and that of C both to give CO2.

Standard enthalpies of formation and reaction
Just as we cannot determine the absolute value for the internal energy of a system and so concentrate on the change in internal energy, so we cannot fix an absolute zero-point for reaction and formation enthalpies.
We chose the Standard state of a material as that at 1 bar pressure (1 bar = 1 x 105 Pa) and the temperature of interest.
Chemistry 120
Thermochemistry
Standard enthalpies of formation and reaction
The standard enthalpy of formation of an element in the standard state is defined as zero.
Using these two facts, we can calculate the heats of formation and, through Hess’ cycles, the heats of reaction for all substances.

Standard enthalpies of formation and reaction
When we combine different reactions, we must take account of the stoichiometry of the reaction. Remember that H can be thought of as a product of reaction and must be combine with the correct stoichiometry.

Quantum Mechanics: The Bohr Model
The Bohr model is incorrect but is still shown as the model of the atom today.
It is the model in which electrons orbit the nucleus in a similar way that planets orbit the sun.
The strong central and radial force is provided by the electric force between the nucleus and the electron

Quantum Mechanics: The Schrödinger Atom
Erwin Schrödinger improved on the Bohr description and succeeded in explaining the internal dynamics of the atom, revealed by the Stark and Zeeman effects.
The Schrödinger description is based on the wave properties of matter, detailed by Louis de Broglie

The de Broglie relationship
Louis de Broglie formulated that a particle of momentum p has an associated wavelength

Where p = mv

The modern quantum atom
By considering the electron in an atom as a wave, the energy of the electron becomes quantized and gives the correct energy relation that Bohr described empirically by
E= -B n2
and we term n as the principle quantum number
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The modern quantum atom
Classically a particle on a sphere can also move over the surface and this motion is circular. In a similar way, the electron in an atom has properties that we can associate with circular or angular motion.
Electrons in an atom have angular momentum – the momentum that is associated with angular motion
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The modern quantum atom
The angular motion is described by two quantum numbers – l and ml termed the angular quantum
number and the magnetic quantum number respectively.
The electron also has its own angular momentum, called spin s and these four quantum numbers, n, l, ml and s define the properties of the electron in an
atom. They all follow from the wave description of the electron in an atom
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The modern quantum atom
The principle quantum number defines the energy of the electron.
The angular quantum numbers define the shape of the region of space in which the electron is confined – these are termed the orbitals of the atom and they have definite shapes:

The three atomic quantum numbers are connected in terms to the values they can take:
n any integer, except 0
In quantum number n
l is confined to |n –1|
e.g n = 3, l = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,
There are (2l +1) values for ml
e.g l = 3, ml = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
The quantum mechanical rules the relate n, l and ml
dictate the structure of the periodic table through the
aufbau prinicple, when used in conjunction with the
Exclusion principle
The rules are that, given n,
l = n – 1 and ml = +/- l including 0
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
For each value of n, l ml there are two possibilities
for s the spin of the electron - + ½ and - ½.
Each orbital can therefore accommodate two and
only two electrons.
We can therefore write the electronic configurations
of the atoms in terms of the occupations of each
orbital.
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
For hydrogen,
n = 1, l = n – 1= 0 and ml = 0.
The only possibilities are therefore ± ½ and we write
that H has a configuration of 1s2, showing the
prinicipal quantum number, the l quantum number
and the number of electrons.
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
All the orbitals that we can calculate from the
Schrödinger equation are hydrogenic as we can only
solve the Schrödinger equation for a two particle
system.
In hydrogen all the orbitals with the same n with
non-zero l and ml have the same energies, the only
energy differences between orbitals being n. Such
orbitals are termed degenerate.
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
In atoms heavier than hydrogen, the l quantum
number does effect the energy slightly and the
orbitals are no longer degenerate. This becomes
more important for heavier atoms and effects the
order of filling in the periodic table.
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
A second and highly important factor is the
distribution of the electrons with in the atom.
Any orbital with non-zero l has an angular node that
runs through the nucleus – the density of the
electrons at the nucleus is zero for these orbitals.
s orbitals have density at the nucleus and the force
on these from the nucleus is higher, so they are more
strongly bound
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
In general, the higher l the less penetrating the
orbitals are and the order of filling is
s before p before d before f
Anomalies appear at the 3d sub-shell. After Ar (3p6),
the 4s shell fills first, before the 3d. A similar feature
occurs before the filling of the 4f shell.
Chemistry 120
Atomic Structure
The Aufbau Principle and the Periodic Table
Hund’s rule is the final rule for the configuration of the atom.
Orbitals are filled such that all spins are parallel and all orbitals are singly filled first, before doubling filling the orbitals with paired spins.
Spin-parallel electrons cannot occupy the same space and so the repulsion between electrons is reduced. Spin-paired electrons can occupy the same region of space and the repulsion is higher.

As the number of electrons in an atom rises, the size of the atom increases.
As the binding energy of the electrons rises, the size of the atom decreases.
