INTRODUCTION n Thermochemistry is the study of heat changes in chemical reactions. n Almost all chemical reactions absorb or release energy (ex: combustion, decomposition, dilution, etc. ). n Thermal energy is the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. n Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at different temperatures.

n Basically, there are two types of thermal energy transfers in chemical reactions, i. e. : n Exothermic process Any process that gives off heat (transfer thermal energy from the system to its surroundings) Example: The combustion of hydrogen gas in oxygen that release considerable quantities of energy. 2 H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2 H 2 O(l) + energy

n Endothermic process Heat has to be supplied to the system by the surroundings Example: The decomposition of mercury (II) oxide (Hg. O) at high temperature energy + 2 Hg. O(s) 2 Hg(l) + O 2(g)

Exothermic process Endothermic process 2 Hg(l) + O 2(g) 2 H 2(g) + O 2(g) by the system to the surroundings 2 H 2 O(l) Heat absorbed energy Heat given off by the system from the surroundings 2 Hg. O(s)

ENTHALPY AND THERMOCHEMICAL EQUATIONS n To express the quantity of the heat released or absorbed in a constant pressure process (H). n The change in enthalpy = ∆H The enthalpy reaction is the difference between the enthalpies of the products and the enthalpies of the reactants. ∆H = H(products) - H(reactants) n For endothermic process ∆H is positive, while for exothermic process ∆H is negative. n Equations showing both mass and enthalpy reactions are called thermochemical equations.

Ice can melt to form liquid water at 0 o. C and a constant pressure of 1 atm. For every mole of ice converted to liquid water, 6. 01 k. J of energy are absorbed by the ice. H 2 O(l) enthalpy Heat absorbed by the system from the surroundings ∆H = 6. 01 k. J H 2 O(s) This reaction is an endothermic process. H 2 O(s) H 2 O(l) ∆H = 6. 01 k. J ∆H = H(products) - H(reactants) = H(liquid water) – H(ice) = 6. 01 k. J When 1 mole of liquid water is formed from 1 mole of ice at 0 o. C, the enthalpy change is 6. 01 k. J

The combustion of methane CH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) enthalpy Heat given off by the system to the surroundings ∆H = -890. 4 k. J CO 2(g)+ 2 H 2 O(l) This reaction is an exothermic process. CH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) CO 2(g)+ 2 H 2 O(l) ∆H = -890. 4 k. J ∆H = H(products) - H(reactants) = [H(CO 2, g) + 2 H(H 2 O, l)] – [H(CH 4, g) + 2 H(O 2, g)] = -890. 4 k. J When 1 mole of gaseous methane reacts with 2 moles of gaseous oxygen to form 1 mole gaseous carbon dioxide and 2 moles of liquid water, the enthalpy change is -890. 4 k. J.

n When the equations are reversed, the roles of reactants and products are changed. The magnitude of for the equation remains the same but its sign changes. n H 2 O(l) H 2 O(s) ∆H = -6. 01 k. J n CO 2(g)+ 2 H 2 O(l) CH 4(g) + 2 O 2(g) ∆H = 890. 4 k. J n Multiplying both sides of thermochemical equation by n factor will also change by the same factor.

CALORIMETRY n The measurement of heat changes, which is influenced by specific heat and heat capacity. n Specific heat (s) (J/g. o. C) is the amount of heat required to raise gram of a substance by 1 o. C. n temperature of 1 Heat capacity (C)(J/o. C) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given quantity of a substance by 1 o. C. C = m. s m is the mass of a substance in grams

n If the specific heat and the amount of a substance are known, then the change in the sample’s temperature (∆t) can determine the amount of heat (q) that has been absorbed or released in a particular process. q = ms ∆t q = C ∆t ∆t = t final – t initial

Sample question 1 n A 466 g sample of water is heated from 8. 5 o. C to 74. 6 o. C. If the specific heat of water is 4. 184 J/g. o. C, calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water! n q = ms ∆t = (466 g) (4. 184 J/g. o. C) (74. 6 o. C - 8. 5 o. C) = 1. 29 x 105 J = 129 k. J

Heat changes can be measured using: n Constant-Volume Calorimeter n n It is usually used to measure heats of combustion, by placing a known mass of a compound in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter, which filled with oxygen at about 30 atm of pressure. The closed calorimeter is immersed in a known amount of water. The sample is ignited electrically and heat produced by the combustion can be calculated accurately by recording the rise in temperature of the water. The heat given off by the sample is absorbed by the water and the calorimeter. No heat loss to the surroundings. q system = q water + q bomb + q rxn =0 q rxn = - (q water + q bomb) q water = ms ∆t q bomb = C bomb ∆t

n Constant-Pressure Calorimeter n For determining heats of reactions for other than combustion reactions, including acid-base neutralization reactions, heats of solution and heats of dilution. n Because the measurement carried out under constant atmospheric conditions, the heat change for the process (qrxn) is equal to the enthalpy change (∆H).

Cl(aq) + H 2 O(l) , Heat of ionization H 2 O(l) H+(aq) + OH-(aq) Heat of fusion H 2 O(s) H 2 O(l) Heat of vaporization H 2 O(l) H 2 O(g) Heat of reaction Mg. Cl 2(s) + 2 Na(l) 2 Na. Cl(s) + Mg(s) ∆H = -56. 2 kj ∆H = 6. 01 kj ∆H = 44. 0 kj ∆H = -180. 2 kj

Sample question 2 n A quantity of 1. 435 g of naphthalene (C 10 H 8) was burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. Consequently, the temperature of the water rose from 20. 17 o. C to 25. 84 o. C. The specific heat of water is 4. 184 J/g. o. C. If the quantity of water surrounding the calorimeter was exactly 2000 g and the heat capacity of the bomb was 1. 80 k. J/o. C, calculate the heat of combustion of naphthalene on a molar basis (the molar heat of combustion)! n q = ms ∆t

n q = (2000 g) (4. 184 J/g. o. C) (25. 84 o. C – 20. 17 o. C) = 4. 74 x 104 J n q bomb = (1. 8 x 1000 J/) (25. 84 o. C – 20. 17 o. C) = 1. 02 x 104 J n q rxn = -(4. 74 x 104 J + 1. 02 x 104 J) = -5. 76 x 104 J water The molar mass of C 10 H 8 128. 2 g, so the molar heat of combustion of 1 mole of C 10 H 8 is: = (-5. 76 x 104 J) / (1. 435 g) x 128. 2 g/mol = -5. 15 x 106 J/mol = -5. 15 x 103 k. J/mol

Sample question 3 n A quantity of 100 m. L of 0. 5 M HCl is mixed with 100 m. L of 0. 5 M Na. OH in a constant-pressure calorimeter having a heat capacity of 335 J/ o. C. The initial temperature of the HCl and Na. OH solutions is the same, 22. 5 o. C, and the final temperature of the mixed solution is 24. 9 o. C. calculate the heat change for the neutralization reaction Na. OH(aq) + HCl(aq) Na. Cl(aq) + H 2 O(aq) Assume that the densities and specific heats of the solutions are the same as for water (1 g/m. L and 4. 184 J/g. o. C, respectively).

n Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings, then: n n n q system = q water + q bomb + q rxn = 0 q rxn = - (q soln + q calorimeter) q soln = (100 g + 100 g) (4. 184 J/g. o. C) (24. 90 o. C – 22. 5 o. C) = 2. 01 x 103 J q calr = (335 J/o. C) (24. 90 o. C – 22. 5 o. C) = 804 J q rxn = -(2. 01 x 103 J + 804 J) = - 2. 81 x 103 J = -2. 81 k. J Heat of neutralization when 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole Na. OH is: = -2. 81 k. J / 0. 05 mol = -56. 2 k. J/ mol Since the reaction takes place at constant pressure, the heat given off s equal to the enthalpy change.

STANDARD ENTHALPY OF FORMATION AND REACTION n The enthalpy value of a substance is relative values, not absolute values must be compared with arbitrary reference point / “enthalpy of formation”. n Standard enthalpy of formation (∆H°ƒ) is the heat change (k. J) when 1 mole of the compound is synthesized from its elements under standard state conditions (constants pressure conditions at 1 atm). n Once we know ∆H°ƒ, we can calculate the enthalpy reaction. n Standard enthalpy of reaction: (∆H°rxn) = Σn ∆H°ƒ(products) - Σm ∆H°ƒ(reactants) m, n denote the stoichiometric coefficients for reactants and products. n The standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its most stable form is zero.

n The standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its most stable form is zero. ΔH 0 f (O 2) = 0 n ΔH 0 f (O 3) = 143 k. J/mol n ΔH 0 f (C, graphite) = 0 n ΔH 0 f (C, diamond) = 1. 90 k. J/mol n

There are two ways to measure m ∆H°ƒ of compounds: n Direct method Applied to compounds which can be readily synthesized from their elements. n Example: C(graphite) + O 2(g) CO 2(g) ∆H°ƒ = -393. 5 k. J ∆H°rxn = (1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (CO 2, g) – [(1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (C, graphite) + (1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (O 2, g)] = -393. 5 k. J n Since both graphite and oxygen are stable allotrophic forms, ∆H°ƒ (C, graphite) and ∆H°ƒ (O 2, g) are zero. ∆H°rxn = (1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (CO 2, g) = -393. 5 k. J/mol

n Indirect Method n For many compounds that can’t be directly synthesized from their elements due to: n the reactions of interest may proceed too slowly or n undesired side reactions may produce substances other than compounds of interest.

Hess’s Law n For determining ∆H°ƒ through indirect approach. n “When reactants are converted to products, the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps”. n Example: C (diamond) C (graphite) ∆H°rxn = (1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (C, graphite) – (1 mol) ∆H°ƒ (C, diamond) Since ∆H°ƒ (C, graphite) = 0, ∆H°rxn = -(1 mol) ∆H°f (C, diamond)

Sample Question 4 n Pentaborane-9, B 5 H 9, is a highly reactive substance which will burst into flame or even explode when it exposed to oxygen: 2 B 5 H 9(l) + 12 O 2(g) 5 B 2 O 3(s) + 9 H 2 O(l) Pentaborane-9 was once used as rocket fuel since it produces a large amount of heat per gram. Calculate the k. J of heat released per gram of the compound reacted with oxygen. The standard enthalpy of formation of B 5 H 9 , B 2 O 3 and water are 73. 2 k. J/mol, -1263. 6 k. J/mol and 285. 8 k. J/mol, respectively.

∆H°rxn = [(5 mol) ∆H°ƒ (B 2 O 3) + (9 mol) ∆H°ƒ (H 2 O)] – [(2 mol) ∆H°ƒ (B 5 H 9) + (12 mol) ∆H°ƒ (O 2)] = [(5 mol) (-1263. 6 k. J/mol) + (9 mol) (-285. 8 k. J/mol)] – [(2 mol) (73. 2 k. J/mol) + (12 mol) (0)] = -9036. 6 k. J This is the heat released for every 2 moles of B 5 H 9 reacted. The heat released per gram of B 5 H 9 reacted is: = 1 mol B 5 H 9 -----------63. 12 g B 5 H 9 = -71. 58 k. J/ g B 5 H 9 x -9036. 6 k. J --------2 mol B 5 H 9

J ∆H°rxn = -2598. 8 k. J ∆H°rxn = +2598. 8 k. J Then (a) multiply by 4 and (b) by 2 --- 4(a) + 2(b) + (d) 4 C (graphite) + 4 O 2(g) 4 CO 2(g) ∆H°rxn = 1574. 0 k. J 2 H 2(g) + O 2(g) 2 H 2 O(l) ∆H°rxn = -571. 6 k. J 4 CO 2(g) + 2 H 2 O(l) 2 C 2 H 2(g) + 5 O 2(g) ∆H°rxn = +2598. 8 k. J -----------------------------------------------4 C (graphite) + 2 H 2(g) 2 C 2 H 2(g) ∆H°rxn = +453. 2 k. J or 2 C (graphite) + H 2(g) C 2 H 2(g) ∆H°rxn = +226. 6 k.
