What is thermodynamics?Thermodynamics is the study of the effects of work,

heat, and energy on a system.

System and surroundingsThe "system" is the well defined part of the universe we are interested in.

The "surroundings" is the rest of the universe, which is in contact with the system.

Internal energy

The internal energy (U) is the sum of all microscopic forms of energy of a system.

Uenergy of motion of e--s and moleculespotential energy from chemical bonding

potential energy from intermolecular attractions

Internal energyU is a state function

State function: a property of the system that depends only on its present state, not on the pathway taken to reach that state.E.g.: p, V, T

2421 m

1500 m

h=921 m

U = Uf - Ui

Therefore:

U is an extensive property

Extensive property: a property of the system which is directly proportional to the amount of material in the system. Such properties are addivitive.Examples: mass (m), electric charge (Q).

Internal energy

Intensive property: a property of the system which does not depend on the system size. Such properties are not additive.Examples: temperature (T), pressure (p), density ().

The change in internal energy of a system equals the heat absorbed by the system (q) plus the work performed on the system (w):

Heat: energy that flowsbecause of a temperaturedifference

Work: energy transfer dueto mechanical movement

U = q + w

Mechanical work is done when a force F moves an object over a distance d: w = F · d

Restatement of the first law at constant pressure:

Enthalpy

U = qP - pV

qP =U + pV

Let us define a quantity: enthalpy (H):

H =U + pV

At constant pressure the change in enthalpy ofthe system reflects the absorbed heat:

H =U + pV = qp

Enthalpy(i) H is a state function (because U, p, and V are all state functions)

(ii) H is an extensive property: the total enthalpy of the system is the sum of the enthalpies of all the components in the system: H = kHk

Enthalpy change for a reaction:

(i) H = Hfinal – Hinitial

(ii) H = H(products) - H(reactants)

Hess's law: The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction depends only on the initial and final states, but is independent from the pathway taken.

Standard enthalpy change (H˚):

The reaction heat for a reaction in which reactants in

their standard states yield products in their standard

states.

"Standard state": p=1 atm, and usually T=25oC.

H of chemical processes

Because by definition reaction heat is the heatabsorbed during the reaction, H˚ appears on the left-hand side (as a "reactant"): reactants + H˚ products

Thermochemical equation: a chemical equation inwhich the reaction enthalpy is explicitly included.

Thermochemical equations can be added up to obtain the equation for a multistep reaction.
