A study of heat change in chemical reactions.

Concept of Enthalpy

Enthalpy, H


The heat content of a system or total energy in the system Enthalpy, H of a system cannot be measured when there is a change in the system. Example: system undergoes combustion or ionisation.

Enthalpy change, H


equals the heat gained or lost at constant pressure H.

Enthalpy of Reaction, H and Standard Condition

Enthalpy of reaction:  The enthalpy change associated with a chemical reaction. Standard enthalpy, H  The enthalpy change for a particular reaction that occurs at 298K and 1 atm (standard state)

Thermochemical Equation


The thermochemical equation shows the enthalpy changes. Example : H2O(s) H2O(l) H = +6.01 kJ

1 mole of H2O(l) is formed from 1 mole of H2O(s) at 0C, H = +6.01 kJ However, when 1 mole of H2O(s) is formed from 1 mole of H2O(l), the magnitude of H remains the same with the opposite sign of it. H2O(l) H2O(s) H = 6.01 kJ

Types of Enthalpies


There are many kind of enthalpies such as:  Enthalpy of formation  Enthalpy of combustion  Enthalpy of atomisation  Enthalpy neutralisation  Enthalpy hydration  Enthalpy solution

Enthalpy of Formation, Hf


The change of heat when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements at their standard states.
H2 (g) + O2(g) H2O (l)

Hf = 286 kJ mol1

The standard enthalpy of formation of any element in its most stable state form is ZERO. H (O2 ) = 0 H (Cl2) = 0

Enthalpy of Combustion, Hc


The heat released when 1 mole of substance is burned completely in excess oxygen.
CO2(g)

C(s) + O2(g)

Hc = 393 kJ mol1

Enthalpy of Atomisation, (Ha

The heat change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from its element (Ha is always positive because it involves only breaking of bonds e.g: Na(s) p Na(g) Cl2(g) p Cl(g) (Ha = +109 kJ mol-1 (Ha = +123 kJ mol-1

 

Enthalpy of Neutralization, Hn


The heat change when 1 mole of water, H2O is formed from the neutralization of acid and base . HCl(aq)+ NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) +H2O(aq) Hn = 58 kJ mol1

Enthalpy of Hydration, (Hhyd

The heat change when 1 mole of gaseous ions is hydrated in water. e.g: Na+(g) p Na+(aq) (Hhyd = 406 kJ mol-1 Cl-(g) p Cl-(aq) (Hhyd = 363 kJ mol-1

Calorimetry
  

A method used in the laboratory to measure the heat change of a reaction. Apparatus used is known as the calorimeter Examples of calorimeter
 

Simple calorimeter Bomb calorimeter

Simple calorimeter


The outer Styrofoam cup insulate the reaction mixture from the surroundings (it is assumed that no heat is lost to the surroundings) Heat release by the reaction is absorbed by solution and the calorimeter

A bomb calorimeter

Important Terms in Calorimeter

Specific heat capacity, c  Specific heat capacity, c of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius (Jg 1rC1). Heat capacity, C  Heat capacity,C is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given quantity of the substance by one degree Celsius (JrC1)

Heat released by substance

Heat absorbed by calorimeter

q = mcT
q = heat released by substance m= mass of substance C= specific heat capacity T = temperature change

Basic Principle in Calorimeter

Surroundings may refer to the: i. Calorimeter itself or; ii. The water and calorimeter qreaction= mc T or C T

Example 1 In an experiment, 0.100 g of H2 and excess of O2 were compressed into a 1.00 L bomb and placed into a calorimeter with heat capacity of 9.08 x 104 J0C1. The initial temperature of the calorimeter was 25.0000C and finally it increased to 25.155 0C. Calculate the amount of heat released in the reaction to form H2O, expressed in kJ per mole.

Solution Heat released = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter q = CT = (9.08 X 104 J0C-1) X (0.1550C) = 1.41 X 104 J = 14.1 kJ H2(g) + O2(g) mole of H2 = 0.100 2.016 = 0.0496 mol H2O(c)

Example 2 1. Calculate the amount of heat released in a reaction in an aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 3087.0 g and contains 1700.0 mL of water. The initial temperature of the calorimeter is 25.0C and it increased to 27.8C.

Given: Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.553Jg-1 C-1 Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 Jg-1 C-1 Water density = 1.0 g mL-1 T = (27.8 -25.0 )C = 2.8C Solution
Heat released = Heat absorbed by aluminium calorimeter + Heat absorbed by water

q = mwcw T + mccc T = (1700.0 g)(4.18 Jg-1 C-1)(2.8 C) + (3087.0 g)(0.553 Jg-1 C-1)(2.8C) = 24676.71 J = 24.7 kJ

HESSS LAW

Hess Law


Hesss Law states that when reactants are converted to products, the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in the series of steps. The enthalpy change depends only on the nature of the reactants and products and is independent of the route taken.

Born-Haber Cycle

Lattice Energy, (Hlattice

is the energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid (ionic compound) into gaseous ions

e.g: NaCl(s) p Na+(g) + Cl-(g)

(Hlattice = +771 kJ mol-1 (lattice dissociation)

Na+(g) + Cl-(g) p NaCl(s)

(Hlattice = -771 kJ mol-1 (lattice formation) The magnitude of lattice energy increases as  the ionic charges increase  the ionic radii decrease

There is a strong attraction between small ions and highly charged ions so the (H is more negative. (H for MgO is more negative than (H for Na2O because Mg2+ is smaller in size and has bigger charge than Na+, therefore (Hlattice (MgO) > (Hlattice (Na2O)

Hydration Process of Ionic Solid

Na+ and Cl- ions in the solid crystal are separated from each other and converted to the gaseous state ((Hlattice) The electrostatic forces between gaseous ions and polar water molecules cause the ions to be surrounded by water molecules ((Hhydr)

(Hsoln = (Hlattice + (Hhdyr

Born-Haber Cycle
  

The process of ionic bond formation occurs in a few stages. At each stage the enthalpy changes are considered. The Born Haber cycle is often used to calculate the lattice energy of an ionic compound. In the Born-Haber cycle energy diagram, by convention, positive values are denoted as going upwards, negative values as going downwards. Consider the enthalpy changes in the formation of sodium chloride.
