HEAT IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS

1
HEAT IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS

• Thermodynamics / Thermochemistry

2
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

• Heat
• Joule The SI unit for energy and heat.
• Bond breaking vs. bond forming.
• Thermochemistry The study of the changes in
  heat within chemical reactions.

3
Exothermic

• Exothermic reactions release heat.
• Heat is a product.
• Combustion reactions.
• Examples
• MREs

4
Endothermic

• Endothermic reactions absorb heat.
• Heat is a reactant.
• Example
• Cold pack.

5
Enthalpy (?H)

• The enthalpy of a substance is its energy plus a
  small-added term that includes the pressure and
  temperature of the substance.
• When the pressure remains constant, the heat
  absorbed or released during a chemical reaction
  is equal to the enthalpy change for the reaction.

to convert to mole!

Enthalpy of Reactions ?Hrxn Hproducts -
Hreactants

• The enthalpy change for a reaction is equal to
  the heat absorbed or gained during the reaction.
• Enthalpy change is the enthalpy of the products
  minus the enthalpy of the reactants.
• The amount of heat absorbed / released is
  dependent on the quantity (mole).
• Standard enthalpy change (?Ho) at 1atm and 250C.

9
Enthalpy and the Spontaneous Process

• Enthalpy diagrams.
• Spontaneous Process a process that proceeds on
  its own, without any outside intervention.

10

• Spontaneous vs. Non-Spontaneous
• Exothermic Endothermic
• No catalyst Catalyst
• Energy of Activation The difference between the
  energy of an activated complex and the energy of
  the reactants of a chemical reaction.
• Demonstrate with an enthalpy diagram.

11
Hesss Law

• If a series of reactions are added together, the
  enthalpy change for the net reaction will be the
  sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual
  steps.
• ?Hnet ?H1 ?H2
• Two Rules
• If the coefficients of an equation are multiplied
  by a factor, the enthalpy change for the reaction
  is multiplied by the same factor.
• If an equation is reversed, the sign of ?H
  changes also.

12
Calorimetry

• The study of heat flow and heat measurement.
• How do you measure an enthalpy change of a
  reaction?
• Calorimetry experiments determine the enthalpy
  changes of reactions by making accurate
  measurements of temperature changes produced in a
  calorimeter.

13
CalorimetryCalculations

• Calculate Qsur (Qsurr m ?T Cp)
• Convert to Qrxn (Qsurr -Qrxn)
• Convert grams to moles
• ?H Qrxn / moles

14
Heat and Temperature

• Exothermic reactions release heat to
  surroundings. The size of the temperature
  increase depends on the amount of heat released
  and the heat capacity of the surroundings.
• Heat capacity The amount of heat needed to
  raise the temperature of the object 1oC.

15
Heat capacity depends on the objects mass and its
composition. Specific heat (Cp) The heat
capacity of 1 gram of a substance. Cp of H2O
4.184 J/g-oC.

18
Entropy (?S)

• Order vs. Disorder.
• Relate the states of matter and the degree of
  order.
• Entropy A quantitative measure of the disorder,
  or randomness, in the substances involved in a
  reaction.

19
Entropy Changes?Srxn Sproducts - Sreactants

• Entropy Increases
• Sproducts gt Sreactants
• Entropy Decreases
• Sproducts lt Sreactants
• Predicting entropy increases
• Gases are formed from liquids or solids.
• Solutions are formed from liquids and solids.
• There are more molecules of gas as products than
  there are as reactants.
• The temperature of a substance is increased.

20
Entropy Criterion

• In any spontaneous process, the overall entropy
  of the universe always increases.
• Entropy of the Universe
• ?Suniverse ?Sreaction ?Ssurroundings
• A reaction is spontaneous when ?Suniverse is
  positive.
• Change in entropy of the reaction (see
  predicting).
• Change in entropy of surroundings (endo vs. exo)
• If ?H is (-), then ?Ssurroundings is ().
• If ?H is (), then ?Ssurroundings is (-).

SUMMARY
22
Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy (G)

• Spontaneity depends on entropy and enthalpy.
• Gibbs proposed a thermodynamic concept to
  simultaneously incorporate the concepts of
  entropy and enthalpy.
• ?G ?H - T?S

23
Free Energy Spontaneity

• If ?G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous
  and can proceed on its own.
• If ?G is positive, the reaction is not
  spontaneous and requires a sustained input of
  energy to make it occur.
• If ?G is zero, the reaction is at equilibrium.

24
?G Spontaneity
25
Free Energy and Work

• Spontaneous reactions release free energy that
  can perform work.
• ?G represents the maximum work that a spontaneous
  process can perform.
• ?G for a nonspontaneous reaction is the minimum
  amount of work that must be performed to make a
  reaction occur.
