Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is study of energy, heat and work.
As chemists we are interested in heat changes in chemical and physical changes.
Aim: to predict whether a change (both physical and chemical ) will occur spontaneously when left to itself--do we have to do anything other than mix the reactants together to make it occur?

Chemical reaction and energy
In a chemical reaction heat is released or absorbed by our system to or from the surroundings. In a chemical reaction convert energy in bonds into heat energy (and vice versa).
We can measure the energy changes in these processes.

Thermochemistry
Heat changes during chemical reactions
Thermochemical equation. eg.
H2 (g) +  O2 (g) ---> 2H2O(l) DH =- 256  kJ;
DH  is called the enthalpy of reaction.
if DH is + reaction is called endothermic
if DH is - reaction is called exothermic

Are these exo- or endothermic?
When solid NaOH is dissolved in water the soln gets hotter.
S(s) + O2(g) g SO2(g)   DHo = -71kcal
N2(g) + 2O2(g   +16.2kcal g 2NO2(g)

Spontaneous Processes
A spontaneous reactions is one that occurs without us having to do anything to it (once it has started). (No external energy input)
Name some spontaneous processes.
Note that one direction is spontaneous, the reverse is not.

"We want to come up..."
We want to come up with a way of predicting whether something will be spontaneous.
It has been observed that many exothermic processes are spontaneous.
Question: Does exothermicity guarantee that something is spontaneous?

"Look at H2O(s)"
Look at H2O(s) g H2O(l)    DHorxn=1.44kcal

Entropy, S
Entropy (S, So) is a measure of the disorder, or randomness of a system.
The greater


Entropy info

"For a rxn:"
For a rxn: D Srxn= sum of entropy of all the products minus the sum of the entropy of all the reactants.

Get entropy increases
When go from a system of

Is there an entropy increase when
A log burns in a fireplace
Water vapor condenses on a cold surface
A solid metal melts
Water boils

Does a positive entropy change insure a spontaneous process
Look at H2O(l) g H2O(s)
 DS<0 but

Second law of thermodynamics
The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and is equal to zero in a system at equilibrium.
Not always easy to calculate the entropy change of the universe.
Define a new quantity, G,  Gibbs free energy. G refers to the system we are studying.

"DG = D H -..."
 DG = D H - T D S
This equation  combines the exothermicity and positive entropy criteria.
Criterion for spontaneity
If DG < 0
If DG > 0
If DG = 0

How does DG = D H - T D S
work?
Look at H2O(l) g H2O(g) water boiling
 DH= 10.6kcal and DS =0.0284kcal
 DG = DH -T DS
at 50oC DG =
at 100oC DG =
at 120oC DG =

DG = D H - T D S
An exothermic rxn that has a positive entropy change is
An endothermic rxn that has a negative entropy change is

DG = D H - T D S
An exothermic rxn that has a negative entropy change is spontaneous
An endothermic rxn that has a positive entropy change is spontaneous

Calorimetry: how to measure heat changes in reactions
Measure heat change (temp inc or dec) in a quantity of water or solution that is in contact with the reaction of interest and is isolated from the surroundings.

Slide 34

To calculate the amt of heat (Q) absorbed or released
Q= m x SH x DT
Q = heat change; DT = temperature change = Tfinal-Tinitial
Add heat, temp inc; remove heat temp dec
Specific heat (SH) = the amount of heat (cal) required to raise the temperature of one g of a substance by 1°C

"Units of SH : cal..."
Units of SH : cal/(g oC); [SH of H2O= 1.00 cal/(g oC); of Al = 0.21 cal/(g oC)]
Calc the amt of heat liberated (in cal and kcal) from 366 g of aluminum when it cools from 77.0oC to 12.0oC.
10kJ of heat is supplied to 1000g of H2O and to 1000g of Al. Calc the inc in temp for both.

"To raise the temp of..."
To raise the temp of a mass of water from 25oC to 50oC requires 7.5 kcal. What is the mass of the water?
A sample of Al weighs 67 g. If 854 cal of heat are required to raise the temp of this sample from 25oC to 85oC, calculate the specific heat of aluminum.

Fuel value
Fuel value is amt of energy per gram of food.
One nutritional Calorie (C) = 1 kcal = 1000 cal;    1 cal = 4.184 J; 1 kcal=1 Cal =4.184 kJ
8.7: A 1.00 g sample of a candy bar (which contains a lot of sugar was burned in a bomb calorimeter. A 3.0oC temp increase was observed for 1.00 x 103 g of water. The entire candy bar weighed 2.5 ounces. Calc  the fuel value (in nutritional Calories) of the sample and the total caloric content of the candy bar.

"8.8:"
8.8: If the fuel value of 1.00g of a certain carbohydrate is 3.00 nutritional Calories, how many grams of water must be present in the calorimeter to record a 5.00oC change in temp?

Kinetics (Reaction Rates)
Thermodynamics tells us whether a reaction should occur spontaneously, but does not tell us how fast the reaction will occur. Kinetics tells us
For example, thermodynamics says that diamond will spontaneously change into graphite.
Kinetics tells us

"Look at H2(g)"
Look at H2(g) + I2(g) g 2HI(g)
Let’s envision how the rreaction might occur on a molecular basis.
To react
1. H2 must collide with I2
2. There must be enough energy to break a H-H and a I-I bond to initiate reaction
3. The molecules must collide in the correct geometry.

"A molecule that is moving..."
A molecule that is moving has kinetic energy; faster the motion, the greater the KE. When molecules collide some of the KE is changed into vibrational energy of the bonds . Sometimes there is enough energy gained through collision to break a bond and initiate reaction. If the energy is not enough to break the bond, the molecules bounce of one another with no reaction occurring.
So there is some minimum collision energy below which no reaction occurs.

Activation energy, Ea

Slide 44

Factors that affect reaction rate
I. Structure of reacting species: A. oppositely charged species often      react faster than neutral  species.    B. bond strength can influence rxn rate     (Ea) C. size and shape of molecule can be      important

"II."
II. Concentration of reactants: if  increase the conc of the reactants:

"III."
III. Increase the temperature:

"IV."
IV. Physical state of reactants:  reactions in solution (liquids) are often very fast. In the solid state molecules have limited motion,  in the gas phase have large distances between molecules and not many collisions so these reactions may be slower. In the liquid phase the molecules (ions) are able to move and are close to each other.

"V."
V. Add a catalyst. A catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction by
. The catalyst generally works by giving a different pathway (of lower energy) for the reaction to occur. A catalyst is not used up (consumed) in a reaction. The catalyst appears to be unchanged at the end.
Biological catalysts: enzymes

Slide 50

Mathematical representation of reaction rate
Object is to develop a mathematical relationship btn rate and concs of various species: know as rate equation (law)
 for A +B + C g products we say the
or

"For a rate law where"
For a rate law where rate = k [A]x[B]y[C]z
say

Some sample rate laws
H2(g) + I2(g) g 2HI(g) rate = k[H2][I2]
H2(g) + I2(g) g 2HI(g)  high P, Au catalyst rate = k
2N2O5 g 4NO2 + O2 rate = k[N2O5]

"2NO(g)"
2NO(g) + O2(g) g 2NO2(g)   rate = k[NO]2[O2]
CHCl3(g) +Cl2(g) g CCl4(g) + HCl(g) rate = k[CHCl3][Cl2]1/2

"A reaction is found to..."
A reaction is found to be second order in A and third order in B. Write the rate equation.
The rate equation and the rate constant have to be determined experimentally.

"Write the general form of..."
Write the general form of the rate equation for:
CH4(g) + O2(g) g CO2(g)  + 2H2O(g)
2NO2(g) g 2NO(g) + O2(g)
