• Energy is the capacity to do work (to displace or move matter).
• Energy literally means “work within”; however, an object does not contain work.
• Potential energy is energy of position or composition.
• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.Ek = ½ mv2
Energy has the units of joules (J or kg . m2/s2)

• Thermochemistry is the study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions.
• System: the part of the universe being studied.
• Surroundings: the rest of the universe.

• Open: energy and matter can be exchanged with the surroundings.
• Closed: energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, matter cannot.
• Isolated: neither energy nor matter can be exchanged with the surroundings.
Types of Systems
A closed system; energy (not matter) can be exchanged.

• Internal energy (E) is the total energy contained within a system
• Part of E is kinetic energy (from molecular motion)– Translational motion, rotational motion,
vibrational motion.– Collectively, these are sometimes called thermal
energy
Internal Energy (E)
• Part of E is potential energy– Intermolecular and intramolecular forces of
attraction, locations of atoms and of bonds.– Collectively these are sometimes called
chemical energy

• Technically speaking, heat is not “energy.”
• Heat is energy transfer between a system and its surroundings, caused by a temperature difference.
More energetic molecules …
… transfer energy to less energetic molecules.
Heat (q)
How do the root-mean-square speeds of the Ar atoms and the N2 molecules compare at the point of
thermal equilibrium?
• Thermal equilibrium occurs when the system and surroundings reach the same temperature and heat transfer stops.

Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings
• When heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, the process is endothermic.
Chapter Six

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
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 into the surroundings, the process is exothermic.

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• Like heat, work is an energy transfer between a system and its surroundings.
• Unlike heat, work is caused by a force moving through a distance (heat is caused by a temperature difference).
• A negative quantity of work signifies that the system loses energy.
• A positive quantity of work signifies that the system gains energy.
• There is no such thing as “negative energy” nor “positive energy”; the sign of work (or heat) signifies the direction of energy flow.
Work (w)
Chapter Six
11
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
For now we will consider only pressure-volume work.
work (w) = –PV
Pressure-Volume Work
How would the magnitude of V compare to the original gas
volume if the two weights (initial and final) were identical?
Chapter Six
12
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
What is work?
• Work is a force acting over a distance.• w= F x d• P = F/ area• d = V/area• w= (P x area) x (V/area)= PV• Work can be calculated by multiplying
pressure by the change in volume at constant pressure.
• units of liter - atm L-atm
Chapter Six
13
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Work needs a sign
• If the volume of a gas increases, the system has done work on the surroundings.
• work is negative
• w = - PV
• Expanding work is negative.
• Contracting, surroundings do work on the system w is positive.
• 1 L atm = 101.3 J
Chapter Six
14
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Examples
• What amount of work is done when 15 L of gas is expanded to 25 L at 2.4 atm pressure?
• If 2.36 J of heat are absorbed by the gas above. what is the change in energy?
Chapter Six
15
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Same rules for heat and work
• Heat given off is negative.
• Heat absorbed is positive.
• Work done by system on surroundings is negative.
• Work done on system by surroundings is positive.

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• The state of a system: its exact condition at a fixed instant.
• State is determined by the kinds and amounts of matter present, the structure of this matter at the molecular level, and the prevailing pressure and temperature.
• A state function is a property that has a unique value that depends only the present state of a system, and does not depend on how the state was reached (does not depend on the history of the system).
• Law of Conservation of Energy – in a physical or chemical change, energy can be exchanged between a system and its surroundings, but no energy can be created or destroyed.
State Functions
Chapter Six
17
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
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.
Chapter Six

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• “Energy cannot be created or destroyed.”• Inference: the internal energy change of a system
is simply the difference between its final and initial states:
E = Efinal – Einitial
• Additional inference: if energy change occurs only as heat (q) and/or work (w), then:
E = q + w
First Law of Thermodynamics
Chapter Six

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• Energy entering a system carries a positive sign:– heat absorbed by the system, or– work done on the system
• Energy leaving a system carries a negative sign– heat given off by the system– work done by the system

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.

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Example 6.1A gas does 135 J of work while expanding, and at the same time it absorbs 156 J of heat. What is the change in internal energy?
Example 6.2: A Conceptual ExampleThe internal energy of a fixed quantity of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature. If a sample of an ideal gas is allowed to expand against a constant pressure at a constant temperature,(a) what is U for the gas? (b) Does the gas do work? (c) Is any heat exchanged with the surroundings?

• qrxn is the quantity of heat exchanged between a reaction system and its surroundings.
• An exothermic reaction gives off heat– In an isolated system, the temperature increases.
– The system goes from higher to lower energy; qrxn is negative.
• An endothermic reaction absorbs heat– In an isolated system, the temperature decreases.
– The system goes from lower to higher energy; qrxn is positive.

Conceptualizing an Exothermic Reaction
Surroundings are at 25 °C
Hypothetical situation: all heat is instantly released to the surroundings. Heat = qrxn
Typical situation: some heat is released to the surroundings,
some heat is absorbed by the solution.
In an isolated system, all heat is absorbed by the solution.

• For a system where the reaction is carried out at constant volume, V = 0 and E = qV.
Internal Energy Change at Constant Volume
• All the thermal energy produced by conversion from chemical energy is released as heat; no P-V work is done.
Chapter Six

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
lnternal Energy Change at Constant Pressure
• For a system where the reaction is carried out at constant pressure, E = qP – PV or E + PV = qP
• Most of the thermal energy is released as heat.
• Some work is done to expand the system against the surroundings (push back the atmosphere).

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• We measure heat flow using calorimetry.
• A calorimeter is a device used to make this measurement.
• A “coffee cup” calorimeter may be used for measuring heat involving solutions.
A “bomb” calorimeter is used to find heat of combustion; the “bomb” contains oxygen and a sample of the material to be burned.

Calorimetry
Measuring heat. Use a calorimeter. Two kinds Constant pressure calorimeter (called a
coffee cup calorimeter) heat capacity for a material, C is calculated C= heat absorbed/ T = H/ T specific heat capacity = C/mass
Chapter Six
32
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• Heat evolved in a reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and its contents.
• In a calorimeter we measure the temperature change of water or a solution to determine the heat absorbed or evolved by a reaction.
• The heat capacity (C) of a system is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of the system by 1 °C.
C = q/T (units are J/°C)• Molar heat capacity is the heat capacity of one mole of a
substance.• The specific heat (s) is the heat capacity of one gram of a pure
substance (or homogeneous mixture).s = C/m = q/(mT)
q = s m T
Calorimetry, Heat Capacity, Specific Heat

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Calorimetry
molar heat capacity = C/moles heat = specific heat x m x T heat = molar heat x moles x T Make the units work and you’ve done the
problem right. A coffee cup calorimeter measures H. An insulated cup, full of water. The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gºC Heat of reaction= H = sh x mass x T

34
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
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.
Chapter Six
35
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
We define specific heat capacity (or simply specific heat) as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 K.
Chapter Six
36
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
Specific heat, then, is
Specific heat =heat transferred
mass temperature change
s =q
m T
Chapter Six
37
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
q = mass x specific heat x T• If T is positive (temperature increases), q is
positive and heat is gained by the system.• If T is negative (temperature decreases), q is
negative and heat is lost by the system.• The calorie, while not an SI unit, is still used to
some extent.• Water has a specific heat of 1 cal/(g oC).• 4.184 J = 1 cal• One food calorie (Cal or kcal) is actually equal to
1000 cal.
More on Specific Heat

Many metals have low specific heats.
The specific heat of water is higher than that of almost any other substance.

Heat Capacity: A Thought Experiment
• Place an empty iron pot weighing 5 lb on the burner of a stove.
• Place an iron pot weighing 1 lb and containing 4 lb water on a second identical burner (same total mass).
• Turn on both burners. Wait five minutes.• Which pot handle can you grab with your bare
hand?• Iron has a lower specific heat than does water. It
takes less heat to “warm up” iron than it does water.

The specific heat of graphite is 0.71 J/gºC. Calculate the energy needed to raise the temperature of 75 kg of graphite from 294 K to 348 K.
A 46.2 g sample of copper is heated to 95.4ºC and then placed in a calorimeter containing 75.0 g of water at 19.6ºC. The final temperature of both the water and the copper is 21.8ºC. What is the specific heat of copper?

Calorimetry
Constant volume calorimeter is called a bomb calorimeter.
Material is put in a container with pure oxygen. Wires are used to start the combustion. The container is put into a container of water.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter is known and tested.
Since V = 0, PV = 0, E = q

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.
Chapter Six

Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Constant Pressure Calorimetry
Because the specific heat for water is well known (4.184 J/g-K), we can measure H for the reaction with this equation:

Enthalpy Symbol is H Change in enthalpy is H delta H If heat is released the heat content of the
products is lower H is negative (exothermic) If heat is absorbed the heat content of the
products is higher H is positive (endothermic)
Chapter Six
49
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
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.
Chapter Six
50
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy and the pressure-volume product of a system:
H = E + PV
Enthalpy and Enthalpy Change
Most reactions occur at constant pressure, so for most reactions, the heat
evolved equals the enthalpy change.
The evolved H2 pushes back the atmosphere;
work is done at constant pressure.
For a process carried out at constant pressure,
qP = E + PV so qP = H
Mg + 2 HCl MgCl2 + H2
Chapter Six
51
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• Enthalpy is an extensive property.– It depends on how much of the
substance is present.
• Since E, P, and V are all state functions, enthalpy H must be a state function also.
• Enthalpy changes have unique values. H = qP
Properties of Enthalpy
Enthalpy change depends only on the initial and
final states. In a chemical reaction we call the initial
state the ____ and the final state the ____.
Two logs on a fire give off twice as much heat as does one log.
Chapter Six
52
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• Values of H are measured experimentally.
• Negative values indicate exothermic reactions.
• Positive values indicate endothermic reactions.
Enthalpy Diagrams
A decrease in enthalpy during the reaction; H
is negative.
An increase in enthalpy during the reaction; H
is positive.
Chapter Six
53
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Enthalpy of Reaction
The change in enthalpy, H, is the enthalpy of the products minus the enthalpy of the reactants:
H = Hproducts − Hreactants
Chapter Six
54
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Enthalpy of Reaction
This quantity, H, is called the enthalpy of reaction, or the heat of reaction.
Chapter Six
55
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
The Truth about Enthalpy
1. Enthalpy is an extensive property.
2. H for a reaction in the forward direction is equal in size, but opposite in sign, to H for the reverse reaction.
3. H for a reaction depends on the state of the products and the state of the reactants.
Chapter Six
56
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• H changes sign when a process is reversed.
• Therefore, a cyclic process has the value H = 0.
Reversing a Reaction
Same magnitude; different signs.

Example 6.3Given the equation
(a) H2(g) + I2(s) 2 HI(g) H = +52.96 kJ
calculate H for the reaction
(b) HI(g) ½ H2(g) + ½ I2(s).
Example 6.4The complete combustion of liquid octane, C8H18, to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water at 25 °C and at a constant pressure gives off 47.9 kJ of heat per gram of octane. Write a chemical equation to represent this information.
Chapter Six
58
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• For problem-solving, heat evolved (exothermic reaction) can be thought of as a product. Heat absorbed (endothermic reaction) can be thought of as a reactant.
• We can generate conversion factors involving H.• For example, the reaction:
ΔH in Stoichiometric Calculations
H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2 HCl(g) H = –184.6 kJ
can be used to write:
–184.6 kJ ———— 1 mol H2
–184.6 kJ ———— 1 mol Cl2
–184.6 kJ ———— 2 mol HCl
Chapter Six
59
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Example 6.5What is the enthalpy change associated with the formation of 5.67 mol HCl(g) in this reaction?
H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2 HCl(g) H = –184.6 kJ
Chapter Six
60
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
For a reaction carried out in a calorimeter, the heat evolved by a reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and its contents.
Measuring Enthalpy Changes for Chemical Reactions
qrxn = – qcalorimeter
qcalorimeter = mass x specific heat x T
By measuring the temperature change that occurs in a calorimeter, and using the specific heat and mass of the contents, the heat evolved (or absorbed) by a reaction can be determined and the enthalpy change calculated.

Example 6.11
A 50.0-mL sample of 0.250 M HCl at 19.50 °C is added to 50.0 mL of 0.250 M NaOH, also at 19.50 °C, in a calorimeter. After mixing, the solution temperature rises to 21.21 °C. Calculate the heat of this reaction.
Example 6.12
Express the result of Example 6.11 for molar amounts of the reactants and products. That is, determine the value of H that should be written in the equation for the neutralization reaction:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) H = ?

• Some reactions, such as combustion, cannot be carried out in a coffee-cup calorimeter.
• In a bomb calorimeter, a sample of known mass is placed in a heavy-walled “bomb,” which is then pressurized with oxygen.
• Since the reaction is carried out at constant volume,
Bomb Calorimetry: Reactions at Constant
Volume
–qrxn = qcalorimeter = E
… but in many cases the value of E is a good approximation of H.

• Some reactions cannot be carried out “as written.”• Consider the reaction:
C(graphite) + ½ O2(g) CO(g).
• If we burned 1 mol C in ½ mol O2, both CO and CO2 would probably form. Some C might be left over. However …
Hess’s Law of Constant Heat Summation
Chapter Six
64
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
• … enthalpy change is a state function.• The enthalpy change of a reaction is the same
whether the reaction is carried out in one step or through a number of steps.
• Hess’s Law: If an equation can be expressed as the sum of two or more other equations, the enthalpy change for the desired equation is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other equations.
Hess’s Law of Constant Heat Summation
Chapter Six
65
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Hess’s Law
Enthalpy is a state function. It is independent of the path. We can add equations to to come up with
the desired final product, and add the H Two rules If the reaction is reversed the sign of H is
changed If the reaction is multiplied, so is H
Chapter Six
66
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Hess’s Law
Hess’s law states that “[i]f 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.”
Chapter Six
67
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
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.
Chapter Six
68
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
Example 6.14Calculate the enthalpy change for reaction (a) given the data in equations (b), (c), and (d).

Standard Enthalpies of Formation
• It would be convenient to be able to use the simple relationship
ΔH = Hproducts – Hreactants
to determine enthalpy changes.
• Although we don’t know absolute values of enthalpy, we don’t need them; we can use a relative scale.
• We define the standard state of a substance as the state of the pure substance at 1 atm pressure and the temperature of interest (usually 25 °C).
• The standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) for a reaction is the enthalpy change in which reactants and products are in their standard states.
• The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) for a reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mol of a substance is formed from its component elements in their standard states.

Standard Enthalpies of Formation
Standard enthalpies of formation, Hf°, are measured under standard conditions (25 °C and 1.00 atm pressure).
Chapter Six
72
Prentice Hall © 2005Hall © 2005
When we say “The standard enthalpy of formation of CH3OH(l) is –238.7 kJ”, we are saying that the reaction:
C(graphite) + 2 H2(g) + ½ O2(g) CH3OH(l)
has a value of ΔH of –238.7 kJ.
Standard Enthalpy of Formation
We can treat ΔHf° values as though they were absolute enthalpies, to determine enthalpy changes for reactions.Question: What is ΔHf° for an element in its standard state [such as O2(g)]? Hint: since the reactants are the same as the products …

H°rxn = p x Hf°(products) – r x Hf°(reactants)
• The symbol signifies the summation of several terms.
• The symbol signifies the stoichiometric coefficient used in front of a chemical symbol or formula.
• In other words …
1. Add all of the values for Hf° of the products.
2. Add all of the values for Hf° of the reactants.
3. Subtract #2 from #1
(This is usually much easier than using Hess’s Law!)

Example 6.15Synthesis gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen that is used to synthesize a variety of organic compounds. One reaction for producing synthesis gas is 3 CH4(g) + 2 H2O(l) + CO2(g) 4 CO(g) + 8 H2(g) ΔH° = ?Use standard enthalpies of formation from Table 6.2 to calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction.
Example 6.16The combustion of isopropyl alcohol, common rubbing alcohol, is represented by the equation 2 (CH3)2CHOH(l) + 9 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(l) ΔH° = –4011 kJUse this equation and data from Table 6.2 to establish the standard enthalpy of formation for isopropyl alcohol.
Example 6.17: A Conceptual ExampleWithout performing a calculation, determine which of these two substances should yield the greater quantity of heat per mole upon complete combustion: ethane, C2H6(g), or ethanol, CH3CH2OH(l).

• A reaction that occurs (by itself) when the reactants are brought together under the appropriate conditions is said to be spontaneous.
• A discussion of entropy is needed to fully understand the concept of spontaneity, and will be discussed in Chapter 17.
• A spontaneous reaction isn’t necessarily fast (rusting; diamond graphite; etc. are slow).
• The difference between the tendency of a reaction to occur and the rate at which a reaction occurs will be discussed in Chapter 13.
