Thermochemistry Chapter 9 Lecture 3 Flashcards
Thermodynamic state of a system
Specifying values of a set of measurable properties sufficient to determine all other properties.
e.g. n, P, and T determine states of an ideal gas. V=nRT/P d=m/v = nM/v = PM/RT
State function
unique value for a specified state of a system.
State function: Extensive examples
Volume, Mass, Internal Energy, Enthalpy
State function Intensive
Density, Pressure, Temperature
Path dependent Extensive
Heat, Work
Path dependent Intensive
Heat, Capacity
First Law of Thermodynamics
(Uf-Ui) = q + w = q -P (Vf-Vi)
Change in the internal energy of the closed system (U) is equal to the amount of work + heat supplied to the system.
Enthalpy H
Extensive state function that is the sum of the internal energy and pressure-volume product: H = U + PV or (Hf-Hi) = (Uf-Ui) + P(Vf-Vi)
What happens when there is constant pressure for Enthalpy?
Only heat can be gained or loss by function H=qp
Standard Enthalpy of reaction
(Hrxn) Change that occurs when all the reactants and products are in standard states.
Examples:
Gas: pure gas at 1 atm
liquid: pure liquid at 1 atm
Solid: pure solid at 1 atm
Solute: At concentration of 1M (mole/liter)
Hess’s law
Total enthalpy change = reaction is the sum of all changes
Standard Enthalpy of formation
(Hf) is enthalpy change in the formation of one mole of a substance in the standard state from the reference forms of its elements in standard states.
Ex: (Hf) of H2O(l) = -285.8 Kj/ mol
Allotropes
Different structured form of elements within the same physical state:
Ex: O2 & O3
what does it mean for (Hf-Hi)<0
They are stable because the enthalpy of a compound that is lower than the constitute elements and its decomposition need energy input as heat.
Usually exothermic rxns
what does it mean for (Hf-Hi)>0
They are less stable because when they are greater than constitute elements, they release heat upon decomposition.
