6.1 Energy
Energy – the capacity to do work or produce
heat.
Law of Conservation of Energy(1st law of
thermodynamics)– energy is neither created nor destroyed. (energy of universe is
constant)
Potential Energy – energy stored due to
position or composition.
Kinetic Energy – energy due to motion of an
object. ½ mv2
Energy is a State Function (or Property) –
6.1 System vs Surroundings
System – a defined environment Surroundings – everything else

6.1 Components of Energy
Heat (q) – transfer of energy due to a
temperature difference.
+q, DEsys increases -q, DEsys decreases
Work (w) – force acting over a distance. +w, DEsys increases
-w, DEsys decreases
Unlike energy, heat and work are not state
functions.

Gases do work via volume change according
to the formula below. The system is often a gas-filled piston.
When a gas expands (+D

6.2 Enthalpy
Enthalpy (H) is the heat evolved in a chemical
reaction at constant pressure. It is defined as:
H = E +
PV
E = system energy
P = system pressure
V = system volume
Since E, P and V are all state functions, so is H.
DH represents only heat exchanged; DE
6.2 Calorimetry
Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat. Specific heat capacity – the energy
required to raise 1 g of a substance by 1 °C (or 1 K).
Molar heat capacity – the energy required
6.2 Constant Pressure Calorimetry
Constant-pressure
calorimeters are run at
atmospheric pressure and are used to determine DH
for reactions in solution. Any observed temperature
increase is due to release of energy, calculated by:
c = specific heat capacity
m = mass of solution
DT = change in temperature
DH = c

6.2 Constant Pressure Calorimetry
When burned in air, H2 releases 120. J/g of energy and methane gives off 50. J/g. If a mixture of 5.0 g of H2
and 10. g CH4 are burned and the heat released is
transferred to 50.0 g water at 25.0 °C, what will be the final temperature of the water?
For H2O(l) , c = 4.18 J/°C · g

DH = (120. J/g H2)(5.0 g H2) + (50. J/g CH4)(10. g CH4)

1100 J = s · m · DT
1100 J = (4.18 J/°C · g H2O) · (50.0 g H2O) · DDT
T = 5.26°C
Final temp = 25.0 °C + 5.26°C =
6.2 Constant Volume Calorimetry
Constant-volume
calorimeters are called bomb calorimeters. The reaction occurs in an
internal steel chamber. Since the volume of the
chamber is constant, no work is done. All the
energy, therefore, is
released as heat.

Silver(II) fluoride is an extremely rare example of silver in the +2 oxidation state. Using a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 10.9 kJ/°C, decomposition of 249.4 g AgF2 reacts violently in the presence of xenon gas. If the temperature of the bomb increased from 22.12 to 29.62 °C, calculate the energy released per mole of AgF2.

reaction There are three quantitative relationships
between a chemical equation and DH:
1) If a chemical equation is multiplied by some
integer, DH is also multiplied by the same integer.
2) If a chemical equation is reversed, then DH
changes sign.

dependent only on initial and final states.

3) If a chemical reaction can be expressed as the sum of a series of steps, then DH for the overall equation is the sum of the DH’s for each step.

6.4 Standard States
Standard states - arbitrary sets of
conditions for calculating thermodynamic state properties.
For compounds:
Gases - 1 atm of pressure Solutions - exactly 1 M
Liquids and solids – pure, 1 atm
For elements:
1 atm and 25 oC
Don’t confuse standard state with STP of
