Thermodynamics
|
Transfer of energy from one form to another
|
|
"In" to system/"Out" of system
|
In: +q
Out: -q |
|
Physical Thermodynamic Equations (2)
|
(1) E = q + w
(2) W = -P*V |
|
Compressed Gases ____
Expanding Gases _____ |
WARM!
COOL! |
|
Isobaric
|
- Constant P
- Area under the boxed curve is work done |
|
Isochoric
|
- Constant V
- No work is done and the total energy is equal to q. - Piston didn't move! |
|
Isothermal
|
- Constant T
- Heat is transferred freely between system and the environment - E = 0, q = -w |
|
Adiabatic
|
- no heat is transferred between the system and the environment
- all energy is work - q = 0 (no heat), so E = w. - Also known as a perfectly insulated system |
|
Second Law of Thermodynamics
|
- The important one...two ways to interpret it:
- Disorder increases in a spontaneous process - All processes run in direction leading to maximum disorder |
|
Entropy
|
ΔS = S(prod) - S(reactants)
Increase in disorder is +++ Decrease in disorder is ---- |
|
Enthalpy
|
ΔH = H(prod) - H(reactants)
- Measure of heat released or absorbed at a constant pressure. Always the same for a rxn. - "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" - If energy is required, ΔH +++ - If energy is released, ΔH ----- |
|
Exothermic
|
- Energy Released
- Typically when we form bonds - Products in a lower state of energy than the reactants - NEGATIVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVE ΔH! |
|
Endothermic
|
- Energy Needed
- Typically when we break bonds - Reactants in a lower energy state than products - POSITIVE ΔH! POSITIVE ΔH! |
|
Three Ways We Can Calculate ΔHrxn
|
- ΔHrxn is basically just the enthalpy change of a reaction
- Heat of Formation - Hess's Law of Summation - Bond Energy |
|
Heat of Formation (ΔHf)
|
- Amount of energy required to make one mol of a compound from its constituent elements in their natural state (where ΔHf = 0)
ΔHrxn = (n*Products) - (n*Reactants) Conclusions: (+) ΔHf, making compound from element requires heat (endo) (-) ΔHf, making compound from element gives off heat (exo) |
|
What are the Standard State parameters used for Thermodynamics?
|
- 25°C, 298K, 1M
- This is called ΔH°. |
|
Hess's Law of Summation
|
- Sum of the ΔH in individual steps will equal the overall ΔH.
- Notes: if reaction is reversed, sign reversed too, and if multiplied by a constant to balance equation, ΔH must be multiplied too |
|
Summation of Bond Enthalpies
|
- ΔH can be viewed as energy stored in chemical bonds
- "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" ΔHrxn = (BDE broken) - (BDE formed) |
|
Gibbs Free Energy
|
- Energy available to do useful work in a chemical reaction
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS |
|
Thermodynamics and Equilibrium
|
ΔG° = -RTln(Keq)
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln(Keq) |
