Module 1, thinking energy Flashcards
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry is the study of energy changes (energy produced or absorbed) by a chemical system during a chemical reaction
* Energy is always conserved, just converted from one form to another
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy: energy of motion from moving electrons and also moving/vibrating atoms
“heat energy”
Potential energy
Stored energy in the form of intermolecular bonds (between molecules) and intramolecular bonds (between atoms within the molecule)
“bond energy”
What type of system is ideal for studying energy changes in thermochemistry?
An isolated system is required (neither matter nor energy can enter or leave)
However it is impossible to create an isolated system
* Usually takes place in a closed system (matter cannot enter of leave, but energy can enter or leave)
What is the enthalpy change (∆𝐻) in a chemical reaction
The change in potential energy of the reactants compared to the potential energy of the products
* Also referred to as the net energy for a reaction
𝐻 (products) - 𝐻 (reactants)
(J or KJ)
( J or KJ )
Exothermic Reaction vs Endothermic Reaction
Exothermic: Produces or releases energy to the surroundings, ∆𝐻 will be negative because the chemical system is losing energy.
Examples:
* combustion reactions
* cellular respiration
Endothermic: Gains or absorbs energy from the surroundings, ∆𝐻 will be positive because the chemical system is gaining energy.
Examples:
* ice packs
* photosynthesis
When one mol of glucose is burned 2802.5 kJ of energy is released calculate the quantity of energy released to a person by eating 5.00 g of glucose in a candy
C₆H₁₂O₆(s)
What is the molar mass of ammonium phosphate?
Convert a mass of 1500 g of calcium carbonate to a chemical amount.
Convert a reacting amount of 3. 46 𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙 of sodium sulfate into mass in grams.
- All combustion reactions in an open system will produce __________
- All combustions reactions in a closed system will produce _________
- All combustion reactions in an open system will produce gaseous water
- All combustions reactions in a closed system will produce liquid water
Calorimetry
The science of measuring the change in heat associated with a chemical reaction
Calorimeter
Isolated system (insulated cup) used to measure the heat energy released or absorbed by surrounding it with a liquid like water and measuring the temperature change (thermometer)
Thermal energy
formula
Total kinetic energy of the entities of a substance.
Q=mc∆t
(m) = _______
(c) = _______
(∆t) = _______
(Q) = _______
(m) = mass
(c) = specific heat capacity
(∆t) = temperature change
(Q) = quantity of thermal energy transferred
Specific Heat Capacity
The quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree celsius or one kelvin
3 main methods of communicating the enthalpy change for both endothermic and exothermic reactions
- ∆𝐻 notation
- Thermochemical equation
- Potential Energy Diagram
∆H Notation
The enthalpy change/energy term is written as a separate expression at the end of a balanced chemical equation
* ∆𝐻 is always negative for an exothermic reaction
CH₄(g)+2O₂(g)→CO₂(g)+H₂O(g) ∆H=-802.5 KJ
* ∆𝐻 is always positive for an endothermic reaction
2Fe₂O₃(s)+3C(s)→2Fe(s)+3CO₂(g)
∆H=+467.9 KJ
Thermochemical Equation
A balanced chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change/energy term as a reactant or product
* Exothermic: The enthalpy change/energy terms is always written on the product side because energy is being released.
CH₄(g)+2O₂(g)→CO₂(g)+H₂O(g)+802.5KJ
* Endothermic: The enthalpy change/energy term is always written on the reactant side because energy is being absorbed.
2Fe₂O₃(s)+3C(s)+467.9KJ→2Fe(s)+3CO₂(g)
Potential Energy Diagram
A graphical representation of the change in potential
energy as a chemical reaction progresses
Determine the change in thermal energy when 115 mL of water is heated from 19.6°C to 98. 8°C
What is the gain in thermal energy if a cup (250 𝑚𝐿) of tap water is increased in temperature from 15°C to 95°C
If you heat 1L of water from 5. 0°C to 97. 0°C, What is the gain in thermal energy of the water?
To test the efficiency of an energy transfer, a chemist supplies 30.0 kJ of external energy to a simple calorimeter. If 150 𝑚𝐿 of water in the calorimeter is heated from 20. 6°C to 52. 8°C, what is the percent efficiency of the calorimeter?
Molar Enthalpy change
(∆ᵣ𝐻) is a measurement that indicates the potential energy change for only one mole of a specific chemical undergoing a particular reaction. Measured in units of joules/mole (J/mol) or kilojoules/mole ( kJ/mol)
The subscript letter just represents a type of reaction
∆𝐻=𝑛∆ᵣ𝐻
∆𝐻 is the enthalpy change (J of kJ)
n is the amount of moles for a specific chemical species (mol)
∆𝐻 is the molar enthalpy for a specific chemical species (J/mol or kJ/mol)
(r is for any generic reaction, c is for combustion reaction, f is formation reaction, so/ is for a dissolving/solution reaction, etc.)
The superscript “o” indicates what
SATP. (25°C and 100kPa).
