Thermochemistry
Chapter 5
Energy
• The ability to do work or transfer heat.
– Work: Energy used to cause an object that has mass to move.
– Heat: Energy used to cause the temperature of an object to rise.
Potential Energy
Energy an object possesses by virtue of its position or chemical composition.
Kinetic Energy
Energy an object possesses by virtue of its motion.

KE = mv2
Units of Energy
• The SI unit of energy is the joule (J).
• An older, non-SI unit is still in widespread use: The calorie (cal).
1 cal = 4.184 J
1 J = 1 kg m2
s2
System and Surroundings
• The system includes the molecules we want to study (here, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules).
• The surroundings are everything else (here, the cylinder and piston).
Work• Energy used to move
an object over some distance.
• w = F d,
where w is work, F is the force, and d is the distance over which the force is exerted.
Heat
• Energy can also be transferred as heat.
• Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.
First Law of Thermodynamics• Energy is neither created nor destroyed.
• In other words, the total energy of the universe is a constant; if the system loses energy, it must be gained by the surroundings, and vice versa.

Internal Energy
The internal energy of a system is the sum of all kinetic and potential energies of all components of the system; we call it E.
Use Fig. 5.5
Internal EnergyBy definition, the change in internal energy, E, is the final energy of the system minus the initial energy of the system:
E = Efinal − Einitial
Use Fig. 5.5
Changes in Internal Energy
• If E > 0, Efinal > Einitial
– Therefore, the system absorbed energy from the surroundings.
– This energy change is called endergonic.
Changes in Internal Energy
• If E < 0, Efinal < Einitial
– Therefore, the system released energy to the surroundings.
– This energy change is called exergonic.
Changes in Internal Energy
• When energy is exchanged between the system and the surroundings, it is exchanged as either heat (q) or work (w).
• That is, E = q + w.
Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings
• When heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, the process is endothermic.
Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings
• When heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, the process is endothermic.
• When heat is released by the system to the surroundings, the process is exothermic.
State Functions
Usually we have no way of knowing the internal energy of a system; finding that value is simply too complex a problem.
State Functions• However, we do know that the internal energy of
a system is independent of the path by which the system achieved that state.
– In the system below, the water could have reached room temperature from either direction.
State Functions• Therefore, internal energy is a state function.
• It depends only on the present state of the system, not on the path by which the system arrived at that state.
• And so, E depends only on Einitial and Efinal.
State Functions
• However, q and w are not state functions.
• Whether the battery is shorted out or is discharged by running the fan, its E is the same.
– But q and w are different in the two cases.
Work
When a process occurs in an open container, commonly the only work done is a change in volume of a gas pushing on the surroundings (or being pushed on by the surroundings).
WorkWe can measure the work done by the gas if the reaction is done in a vessel that has been fitted with a piston.
w = −PV
Enthalpy• If a process takes place at constant pressure
(as the majority of processes we study do) and the only work done is this pressure-volume work, we can account for heat flow during the process by measuring the enthalpy of the system.
• Enthalpy is the internal energy plus the product of pressure and volume:
H = E + PV
Enthalpy• When the system changes at constant
pressure, the change in enthalpy, H, is
H = (E + PV)
• This can be written
H = E + PV
Enthalpy
• Since E = q + w and w = −PV, we can substitute these into the enthalpy expression:
H = E + PV
H = (q+w) − w
H = q
• So, at constant pressure the change in enthalpy is the heat gained or lost.
Endothermicity and Exothermicity
• A process is endothermic, then, when H is positive.
Endothermicity and Exothermicity
• A process is endothermic when H is positive.
• A process is exothermic when H is negative.
Enthalpies of Reaction
The change in enthalpy, H, is the enthalpy of the products minus the enthalpy of the reactants:
H = Hproducts − Hreactants
Enthalpies of Reaction
This quantity, H, is called the enthalpy of reaction, or the heat of reaction.

Calorimetry
Calorimetry
Since we cannot know the exact enthalpy of the reactants and products, we measure H through calorimetry, the measurement of heat flow.
Calorimetry• Use a calorimeter (measures heat flow).
• Two kinds:
– Constant pressure calorimeter (called a coffee cup calorimeter)
– Constant volume calorimeter is called a bomb calorimeter.
Specific Heat Capacity and Heat Transfer
• The quantity of heat transferred depends upon three things:
1.The quantity of material (extensive).
2.The difference in temperature.
3.The identity of the material gaining/losing heat.
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
• The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 K (1C) is its heat capacity.
• Molar Heat Capacity – The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1 Kelvin.
Specific Heat (Specific Heat Capacity, c) – The amount of heat required to raise 1.0 gram of a substance by 1 Kelvin.

Constant Pressure Calorimetry
By carrying out a reaction in aqueous solution in a simple calorimeter such as this one, one can indirectly measure the heat change for the system by measuring the heat change for the water in the calorimeter.
Constant Pressure Calorimetry
Because the specific heat for water is well known (4.184 J/mol-K), we can measure H for the reaction with this equation:
q = m c T
- Atmospheric pressure is constantH = qP
qsystem = -qsurroundings
- The surroundings are composed of the water in the calorimeter and the calorimeter.
qsystem = - (qwater + qcalorimeter)
- For most calculations, the qcalorimeter can be ignored.qsystem = - qwater
csystemmsystem Tsystem = - cwatermwater Twater
Calorimetry Calorimetry Constant-Pressure Calorimetry
Bomb Calorimetry
Reactions can be carried out in a sealed “bomb,” such as this one, and measure the heat absorbed by the water.
Bomb Calorimetry
• Because the volume in the bomb calorimeter is constant, what is measured is really the change in internal energy, E, not H.
• For most reactions, the difference is very small.
- Special calorimetry for combustion reactionsSpecial calorimetry for combustion reactions

Hess’s Law
H is well known for many reactions, and it is inconvenient to measure H for every reaction in which we are interested.
• However, we can estimate H using H values that are published and the properties of enthalpy.
Hess’s Law
Hess’s law states that “If a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, H for the overall reaction will be equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.”
Hess’s Law
Because H is a state function, the total enthalpy change depends only on the initial state of the reactants and the final state of the products.
Hess’s Law– rxns in one step or multiple steps are additive
because they are state functions• eg.
• CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) H = - 802 kJ
• CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) H = - 890 kJ
2H2O(g) 2H2O(l) H = - 88 kJ
Practice – Calculate H for the conversion of graphite to
diamond:• Cgraphite Cdiamond
• Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g) H = -393.5 kJ
• Cdiamond + O2(g) CO2(g) H = -395.4 kJ
• Cgraphite + O2(g) CO2(g) H = -393.5 kJ
• CO2(g) Cdiamond + O2(g) H = 395.4 kJ
Cgraphite Cdiamond H = + 1.9 kJ

where n and m are the stoichiometric coefficients.

H = [3(-393.5 kJ) + 4(-285.8 kJ)] - [1(-103.85 kJ) + 5(0 kJ)]
= [(-1180.5 kJ) + (-1143.2 kJ)] - [(-103.85 kJ) + (0 kJ)]

• Fats break down as follows:2C57H110O6 + 163O2 114CO2 + 110H2O, H = -75,520 kJ
Fats contain more energy; are not water soluble, so are good for energy storage.
