THERMOCHEMISTRTHERMOCHEMISTRYY
The study of heat released or required by chemical reactions
Fuel is burnt to produce energy - combustion (e.g. when fossil fuels are burnt)
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + energy
What is Energy?
EnergyEnergy
Kinetic energy
(EK)
Potential energy
(EP)
Energy due to motion
Energy due to position (stored energy)
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
E = EK + EP
Kinetic energy & potential energy are interchangeable
Ball thrown upwards slows &
loses kinetic energy but gains potential energy
The reverse happens as it falls back to the ground
Law of Conservation of EnergyLaw of Conservation of Energy: the total energy of the universe is constant and can
neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed.
The internal energyinternal energy, U, of a sample is the sum of all the kinetic and potential
energies of all the atoms and molecules in a sample
i.e. it is the total energy of all the atoms and molecules in a sample
Systems & Surroundings
In thermodynamics, the world is divided into a system and its surroundings
A system is the part of the world we want to study (e.g. a reaction mixture in a flask)
The surroundings consist of everything else outside the system
SYSTEM
CLOSED
OPEN ISOLATED
Thermochemistry is the study of heat change in chemical reactions.
The system is the specific part of the universe that is of interest in the study.

SYSTEMSURROUNDINGS
OPEN SYSTEM: can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings (e.g. open reaction
flask, rocket engine)
CLOSED SYSTEM: can exchange only energy with the surroundings (matter remains
fixed) e.g. a sealed reaction flask
ISOLATED SYSTEM: can exchange neither energy nor
matter with its surroundings (e.g. a thermos flask)
HEAT and WORK
HEAT is the energy that transfers from one object to another when the two things are at different temperatures and in some kind of contact
e.g. kettle heats on a gas flame
cup of tea cools down (loses energy as heat)
Thermal motion (random molecular motion) is increased by heat energy
i.e. heat stimulates thermal motion
Work is the transfer of energy that takes place when an object is moved against an opposing force
i.e. a system does work when it expands against an external pressure
Car engine: petrol burns & produces gases which push out
pistons in the engine and transfer energy to the wheels
of car
•Work stimulates uniform motion
• Heat and work can be considered as energy in transit
UNITS OF ENERGY
S.I. unit of energy is the joule (J)
Heat and work ( energy in transit) also measured in joules
1 kJ (kilojoule) = 103 J
Calorie (cal): 1 cal is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1oC
1 cal = 4.184 J
INTERNAL ENERGY (U)INTERNAL ENERGY (U)
Internal energy changes when energy enters or leaves a system
U = Ufinal - Uinitial
U change in the internal energy
Heat and work are 2 equivalent ways of changing the internal energy of a system
+=Change in internal energy
Energy supplied to system as
heat
Energy supplied to system as
work
U = q (heat) + w (work)
q

U like reserves of a bank: bank
accepts deposits or withdrawals in two currencies (q & w) but stores
them as common fund, U.
First Law of Thermodynamics:
the internal energy of an isolated system is constant
Signs (+/-) will tell you if energy is entering or leaving a system
+ indicates energy enters a system
- indicates energy leaves a system
•An important form of work is EXPANSION EXPANSION WORK WORK i.e. the work done when a system
changes size and pushes against an external force
e.g. the work done by hot gases in an engine as they push back the pistons
WORK
HEAT
In a system that can’t expand, no work is done (w = 0)
U = q + w
when w = 0, U = q (at constant volume)
•A change in internal energy can be identified with the heat supplied at constant volume
ENTHALPY (H)
(comes from Greek for “heat inside”)
• the change in internal energy is not equal to the heat supplied when the system is free to change its
volume
• some of the energy can return to the surroundings as expansion work
U < q
The heat supplied is equal to the change in another thermodynamic property called enthalpy (H)
i.e. H = q
• this relation is only valid at constant pressure
As most reactions in chemistry take place at constant pressure we can say that:
A change in enthalpy = heat supplied
EXOTHERMIC & ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONSEXOTHERMIC & ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS
Exothermic process: a change (e.g. a chemical reaction) that releases heat.
A release of heat corresponds to a decrease in enthalpy
Exothermic process: H < 0 (at constant pressure)
Burning fossil fuels is an exothermic
reaction
Endothermic process: a change (e.g. a chemical reaction) that requires (or absorbs) heat.
An input of heat corresponds to an increase in enthalpy
Endothermic process: H > 0 (at constant pressure)
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction
(requires energy input from sun)
Forming Na+ and Cl- ions from NaCl is
an endothermic
process

How do we relate change in temp. to the energy transferred?
Heat capacity (J/oC) = heat supplied (J)
temperature (oC)
Heat Capacity = heat required to raise temp. of an object by 1oC
• more heat is required to raise the temp. of a large sample of a substance by 1oC than is needed for a
smaller sample
b. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by one degree (C or K).
1) C water = 4184 J / kg C
2) C sand = 664 J / kg C
This is why land heats up quickly during the day and
cools quickly at night and why water takes longer.
Why does water have such a high specific heat?
Water molecules form strong bonds with each other; therefore it takes more heat energy to break them. Metals have weak bonds and do not need as much energy to break them.
How to calculate changes in thermal energy
Q = m x T x Cp
Q = change in thermal energy
m = mass of substance
T = change in temperature (Tf – Ti)
Cp = specific heat of substance
c. A calorimeter is used to help measure the specific heat of a substance.
First, mass and temperature of
water are measured
Then heated sample is put
inside and heat flows into
water
T is measured for water to help get its heat gain
This gives the heat lost by
the substance
Knowing its Q value, its mass, and its T, its Cp can be calculated
Specific heat capacity is the quantity of energy required to change the temperature of a 1g sample
of something by 1oC
Specific Heat Capacity (Cs)

VaporisationVaporisation
Energy has to be supplied to a liquid to enable it to overcome forces that hold molecules together
• endothermic process (H positive)
Melting
Energy is supplied to a solid to enable it to vibrate more vigorously until molecules can move past each other and
flow as a liquid
• endothermic process (H positive)
Freezing
Liquid releases energy and allows molecules to settle into a lower energy state and form a solid
• exothermic process (H negative)
(we remove heat from water when making ice in freezer)
Reaction EnthalpiesReaction Enthalpies
All chemical reactions either release or absorb heat
Exothermic reactions:
Reactants products + energy as heat (H -ve)
Endothermic reactions:
Reactants + energy as heat products (H +ve)
e.g. burning fossil fuels
e.g. photosynthesis
Bond StrengthsBond Strengths
Bond strengths measured by bond enthalpy HB (+ve values)
• bond breaking requires energy (+ve H)
• bond making releases energy (-ve H)
Lattice EnthalpyLattice Enthalpy
A measure of the attraction between ions (the enthalpy change when a solid is broken up into a gas of its ions)
• all lattice enthalpies are positive
• I.e. energy is required o break up solids
Enthalpy of hydration Enthalpy of hydration HHhydhyd
• the enthalpy change accompanying the hydration of gas-phase ions
•Na+ (g) + Cl- (g) Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
• -ve H values (favourable interaction)
WHY DO THINGS DISSOLVE?
• If dissolves and solution heats up : exothermic
•If dissolves and solution cools down: endothermic

= Enthalpy of Solution
Substances dissolve because energy and matter tend to disperse (spread out in disorder)

Second Law of Thermodynamics:
the disorder (or entropy) of a system tends to increase
ENTROPY (S)
•Entropy is a measure of disorder
• Low entropy (S) = low disorder
•High entropy (S) = greater disorder
• hot metal block tends to cool
• gas spreads out as much as possible

2. If we boil water, disorder of the water molecules increases , entropy increases

( +ve S , +ve H)
A spontaneous change is a change that has a tendency to occur without been driven by an
external influence
e.g. the cooling of a hot metal block to the temperature of its surroundings
A non-spontaneous change is a change that occurs only when driven
e.g. forcing electric current through a metal block to heat it
•A chemical reaction is spontaneous if it is accompanied by an increase in the total entropy of the
system and the surroundings
• Spontaneous exothermic reactions are common (e.g. hot metal block spontaneously cooling) because they release heat that increases the entropy of the
surroundings.
•Endothermic reactions are spontaneous only when the entropy of the system increases enough to
overcome the decrease in entropy of the surroundings
