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)
