Q

Calculating an energy change - the mass of the surroundings

A

m = of the mass that changes temperature in grams

NOTE - not the mass of the reactants

17
Q

Calculating an energy change - specific heat capacity

A

the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1K
-> in most experiments we will be measuring c for water as this is usually the substance that will have a temp change
c= 4.18 Jg-1K-1

18
Q

Calculating an energy change - temperature change

A

ΔT=T(final) - T(initial)

19
Q

formula for heat energy

A

q = mcΔT
m in grams
ΔT - doesn’t matter as long final and initial are the same units

unit of q usually calculated is J as C= Jg-1K-1
J-> KJ divide by 1000

20
Q

method to determine ΔcH° of methanol

A

CH3OH(l) + 3/2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Materials and Apparatus:

Methanol (fuel)
Spirit burner- wick and methanol
Thermometer
Measuring cylinder
clamp
Water
Calorimeter (insulated container)

Experimental Setup:

Set up the spirit burner on a stable surface.
Measure the initial mass of the spirit burner (with methanol) and record it.
Measure a known volume of water using the measuring cylinder and pour it into the calorimeter.
Measure the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter and record it.

Combustion of Methanol:

Ignite the spirit burner containing methanol and let it burn
Stir the methanol with the thermometer

Temperature Measurement:

After the combustion, measure the final temperature of the water in the calorimeter and record it.
Measure the weight of the spirit burner

use q=mcΔT to calculate energy change of the water

then calculate the mole of CH3OH burnt

calculate ΔcH
->ΔcH is the enthalpy change of the complete combustion of 1 mole of methanol
-> in the experiment x mol of methanol transfers y KJ of energy to the water
-> the water gained y KJ of energy from the combustion of x of methanol
->therefore 1 mole of methanol has lost y/x kj of energy
-> so ΔcH of methanol is -y/x

NOTE= ΔcH is negative as system has lost energy due to the combustion of methanol (exothermic0

21
Q

reasons why the experimental ΔcH is not accurate

A
  • heat loss to the surroundings other than water. such as the beaker and the air surrounding the flame
  • incomplete combustion of methanol- black layer of soot
  • evaporation of methanol from the wick - the burner must be weight soon as possible after extinguishing the flame otherwise methanol may have evaporated
  • non-standard conditions

all but the last reasons would lead to a value of ΔcH that is less exothermic

22
Q

average bond enthalpy

A

the average energy required to break a particular type of bond in a gaseous molecule, averaged over a range of different compounds

23
Q

bond enthalpies are always exo or end?

A

endothermic
-> bond enthalpies is breaking bonds which requires energy
-> always a positive value

24
Q

to break bonds energy is __________

A

required

25
Q

to form bonds energy is __________

A

released

26
Q

limitations of average bond enthalpies

A

actual bond enthalpies can vary depending on its chemical environment

27
Q

calculate ΔrH°

A

Σ(bond enthalpies in reactants) - Σ(bond enthalpies in products)

28
Q

calculations using average ______ _______ need all species to be _________ molecules. If you produce H2O(g) rather than H2O(l), this means that the calculate _____ is not a ______ enthalpy change.

what do you do to overcome this?

A

bond
enthalpies
gaseous
ΔrH°
standard

work out the standard enthalpy change but consider the enthalpy change for H2O(g) condensing into H2O(l)

29
Q

Hess’ Law

A

is a reaction can take place by two routes, and the starting and finishing conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route

30
Q

why is Hess’ law helpful

A

enthalpy changes of reactions are often hard to determine directly
