Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you
go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two ll i h hi d i h h i ksmall points. The third time you go through it, you know you
don't understand it, but by then you are so used to it, it doesn't bother you any more. -- Arnold Sommerfield
Ludwig Boltzmann who spent much of his life studyingLudwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul
Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to
approach the subject cautiously. -- David L. Goodsteinapproach the subject cautiously. David L. Goodstein
Our approach will be to focus on the macroscopic, thermodynamic picture with occasional insight from the microscopic picture via statistical mechanics
the microscopic picture via statistical mechanics.
Energy, Work and Heat
Energy is the capacity to do work.
Its classification into:kinetic potential(by motion) (by position)
e.g. thermal chemical, electricalIs purely arbitrary!
Heat and work are not “types” of energy, but are processes???????
Heat and work are not types of energy, but are processes involving transfer of energy. They appear and disappear at the system boundary. They are path variables.
Heat is the transfer of energy from one body to another of lower temperaturelower temperature.
Convention: if heat flows into the system, q > 0.
Work is the transfer of energy by some mechanism other than temperature difference.p
Convention: if work is done on the system, w > 0.
Heat stimulates random motion.
Work stimulates organized motion.g

State variables (state functions) uniquely determine the state of a system at equilibrium. Two samples of a substance with the same state variables are in the same state.
The change in a state variable depends only on the initial and finalThe change in a state variable depends only on the initial and final states, independent of path.
Path functions depend on the process and therefore vary with path.
A li i i hi h h i i i l d fi l hA cyclic process is one in which the initial and final states are the same, i.e. no change in the state variables.
In contrast, path functions generally have non-zero values for cyclic processes, dependent on the path.
A reversible process is one that can be reversed by an infinitesimal modification of a variable. The system is in equilibrium with the surroundings at all times. This is an idealized situation, useful as a theoretical limit, but…
All real processes are irreversible. It is possible to restore the system or the surroundings to their original states but not both.
An equation of state is the functional relationship between the properties of a system, e.g, the ideal gas law.
Tc, Pc and Vc are the critical constants of the gas.
Above the critical temperature the gas and liquid phases areAbove the critical temperature the gas and liquid phases are continuous, i.e. there is no interface.

3. Any change in T?
He found no change in temperature when the gasHe found no change in temperature when the gas expanded from VA to VA+VB, i.e. q = 0. Also, no work was done (free expansion), so w = 0. Conclusion: ΔU = 0 and hence

Strictly only true for ideal gases.
Not true for liquids and solids, but since and ΔV is very small the effect of ΔV on U is usually ignored
Experimental observations do not agree with these predictions, except for monoatomic gases. In particular:
The predicted values are too highThe predicted values are too high.Experimental values are temperature-dependent.
Accurate calculations are provided by statistical mechanics, where it can be shown that the equipartition principle onlywhere it can be shown that the equipartition principle only holds in the limit of high temperature, specifically for the condition kT >> ΔE, where ΔE is the appropriate spacing of energy levels.
Temperature Dependence of HInteractions between molecules also contribute to the heat capacity of real systems. In particular, first-order phase changes often involve large energy changes. These are usually measured at constant pressure and expressed as y p penthalpies.
ThermochemistryThe study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions:
at constant volume ΔU = qV no work
at constant pressure ΔH = qP only PV work
For practical reasons most measurements are made at constant P, so thermochemistry mostly deals with ΔH.

H H HΔ = −∑ ∑
If ΔH > 0 the reaction is endothermic.
If ΔH < 0 the reaction is exothermic.
For comparison purposes we need to refer ΔH to the same T and P To define a standard reaction enthalpysame T and P. To define a standard reaction enthalpy each component of the reaction must be in its standard state – the most stable form at 1 bar pressure and (usually) 25°C.
The standard enthalpy change in any reaction can be expressed as the sum of the standard enthalpy changes, at the same temperature, of a series of reactions into which the overall reaction can be formally divided.

Since H is a state variable, the sum of enthalpy changes around the cycle must be zero. Consequently, if all but one of the enthalpy changes is known, it can be readily calculated.
may transfer it from one part of the universe to another.
Entropy 1Entropy is a state variable (property) which determines if a state is accessible from another by a spontaneous change.
Entropy is a measure of chaotic dispersal of energy.
The natural tendency of spontaneous change is towards states of higher entropy.
There are both thermodynamic (how much heat is produced?) and statistical definitions (how probable is aproduced?) and statistical definitions (how probable is a state?). They both become equivalent when statistics is applied to a large number of molecules.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics“An isothermal cyclic process in which there is a net conversion of heat into work is impossible.”
“No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its conversion intoabsorption of heat from a reservoir and its conversion into work.” It is possible to convert all work into heat!
“It is impossible for heat to be transformed from a body at a lower temperature to one at a higher temperature unless work is done.”
“The entropy of an isolated system increases during any natural process.” The universe is an isolated system.
ΔS( ) < 0 i ll d id d ΔS( ) + ΔS( ) > 0ΔS(sys) < 0 is allowed provided ΔS(sys) + ΔS(surr) > 0
“All reversible Carnot cycles operating between the same two temperatures have the same thermodynamic efficiency ”efficiency.“There is a state function called entropy S that can be calculated from dS = δqrev/T. The change in entropy in any process is given by dS ≥ δq/T, where the inequality refers to a spontaneous (irreversible) process ”
The 1st Law uses U to identify permissible changes of state.
The 2nd Law uses S to identify natural changes among the permissible ones
The Third Law of Thermodynamics“If the entropy of every element in its stable state at T = 0is taken as zero, every substance has a positive entropy which at T = 0 may become zero, and does become zero for all perfect crystalline substances, including compounds.”for all perfect crystalline substances, including compounds.
Nernst Heat Theorem “The entropy change accompanying transformation between condensed phases in equilibrium, including chemical reactions, approaches zero as T → 0.including chemical reactions, approaches zero as T → 0.
Practical consequence: Set S(0) = 0 for elements by

convention. Apply Nernst to determine S(0) for all else.
“It is impossible to reach absolute zero in a finite number of steps.”
The 1st Law says U cannot be created or destroyed.
The 2nd Law says S cannot decrease.The 2 Law says S cannot decrease.

Heat Enginesf fA heat engine is a system capable of transforming heat into

A heat pump is a heat engine in reverse. Work is needed to transfer heat from a lower to a higher temperature reservoir.
For ΔS > 0, heat flows into the system to fuel the extra work.

Le Chatelier’s PrincipleA system at equilibrium, when subjected to a perturbation, responds in a way that tends to minimize the effect.
Consider a closed system of a single component. The chemical potential determines which phase is stable at a particular T and P. µ tends to a minimum.At the melting point T µ(s) = µ(l)At the melting point Tm, µ(s) = µ(l)At the boiling point Tb. µ(l) = µ(g)These points depend on temperature and pressure.

"There is an even deeper philosophical implication of bioenergetics. The universe as a whole is an isolated system. The entropy of the whole universe must be increasing. It follows that each of us, as a living organism that locally and temporarily decreases entropy, must produce somewhere in the world around us an increase in entropy. As we metabolize food, for py ,example, we give off heat and increase random molecular motion around us. In a sense, we buy our lives through the entropic death of the universe.“
