Second law of
Thermodynamics
Application of thermodynamics :
In chemistry using thermodynamics
We can predict feasibility of the reaction that is if two substances are mixed then the reaction
between them will takes place or not.
If reaction does take place then what are the energy changes involved during the reaction.
If in a chemical reaction, equilibrium is going to get attained then what will be the equilibrium
concentrations of different reactants & products, can be calculated with thermodynamics.
Limitations of Thermodynamics :
Laws of thermodynamics are applicable to matter in bulk or on system as a whole, these can not be
applied on individual particles(temperature, pressure, enthalpy etc have meanings only for system
as a whole).
Using thermodynamics we cannot calculate the time taken for completion of a reaction or for attainment
of chemical equilibrium.
System : Part of the universe which is under study for energy changes.
Ex.
Types of system :
Open system : System which can exchange energy & matter both with the surroundings.
e.g. : Living systems( any living organism) are open systems, air in an open room
Closed system : System which can exchange only energy but cannot exchange matter with the
surroundings is called closed system.
e.g. : any matter in a closed container.
Isolated system : System which cannot exchange energy and matter both with the surroundings.
e.g. : Water in thermos flask.(Though not a perfectly isolated system but can be taken as, for
small interval of time as the energy exchanges are negligible).

State of a system :
State function :
Property of a system which is dependent only on the state of the system i.e. it is a point function
In the above example the final temperature, pressure, and the volume will be same in both the above ways
but the work involved and the heat exchanged during the processes will be different.
Path function :
Quantities which are dependent on the path/way the system has achieved a particular state.
e.g. Heat, work, Heat capacities(Molar heat capacities, specific heat capacities etc.).
These quantities are define when there is a process going on.
These can not have any definite (particular) value in any particular state of the system.
Types of preperties
Extensive properties :
Functions or properties of the system which are dependent on mass or on size of the system are
called Extensive Properties .
Extensive functions are additive in nature( The addition of the volumes of the two parts equals the
volume of the whole of the room.)
e.g. Volume, Mass, Total heat capacity, Total internal energy (E), Enthalpy(H), Gibbs Free
Energy(G), Entropy(S).
THERMODYNAMICS_JEE MAINS # 2
Intensive properties :
Functions or properties which are not mass dependent or size dependent are called intensive
function.
For example consider air in a room at temp of 300K, 1 atm pressure. Now, if the room is divided by
some boundary( imaginary or real) into two parts( equal or unequal) then in these two parts :
The temperature, pressure, density of the gas, concentration of gaseous molecules etc. will have
the same value as that of for whole of the system. (intensive)
While the volume of two parts, mass of gas in two parts, total energy of the gaseous molecules
in the two parts, entropy the two parts etc. will be different from the values of these properties as for
the whole of the system initially. (extensive)
Thermodynamic equilibrium :
When there is no change in any observable or measurable property of a system with time then the
system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium.
Thermodynamic equilibrium consist of three types of equilibrium.
(a)
Mechanical equilibrium
(b)
Thermal equilibrium
(c)
Chemical equilirbrium
Mechanical equilibrium :
There should not be any pressure gradient with time or with space (for any
ideal gaseous system, for a liquid system there can be pressure gradient
with space as pressure at the bottom of the container in which a liquid is
filled will be greater than the pressure at the surface of the liquid.) in the
system.
Chemical equilibrium : There should not be any concentration gradient of any of the species in
the system.

Types of thermodynamics processes on basis of the way the processes are carried out :
Reversible process :
The process that can be reversed by a very small change is known as reversible process.
If a process is carried out in such a manner so that the system is always in thermodynamic equilibrium
at every stage of the process.
If the process is carried out such that the difference in driving force and opposing force is infinitesimally
small so that process takes place at infinitesimally slow rate.
Fdriving Fopposing = dF and dF 0
Irreversible process : The process can not be reversed by a small change is known as irreversible.
If a process is carried out in such a manner so that the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium (I)
Only at initial & final state of the process but not at the intermediate stages.
(II) System may be in thermodynamic equilibrium state at some finite number of intermediate stages
only - for example - n step irreversible expansion of a gas
If during the process there is a finite difference in driving force and opposing force so that process
takes place with a finite rate.
Irreversible processes will get completed in finite time.
At intermediate stages of the irreversible process, different state function such as Pressure,
temperature etc. are not defined.
All real process are irreversible.
THERMODYNAMICS_JEE MAINS # 4
Consider the above system. If the stopper placed over the piston is removed, then the piston will move with
almost infinite acceleration and will keep moving to a position where the pressure of the gas becomes equal
to the external pressure. Since the process will get completed in finite time and there was a finite difference
between the driving force and the opposing force so, process is irreversible.During the process, the pressure
of the gas can not be defined as it will be having different values at different locations.

Heat is a path function and is generally calculated indirectly using Ist Law of thermodynamics
First calculate E and W & then q or heat can be calculated if heat capacity of any process is
given to us.
Heat capacity is a path function and different type of heat capacities are defined
Remember heat capacity of a substance is not fixed it is dependent on type of process which is being
performed on that substance

For irreversible processes, state parameters such as P,T etc cannot be defined. Hence, work
cannot be estimated using Pgas. But by the work energy theorem
W gas = W ext + Kpisston
W gas = W ext =
ext dv
as the external pressure is always defined hence, for all processes work can be calculated using

PV diagram Representation
For expansion to take place, m0 mass is suddenly removed so gas expands against constant external
pressure of Patm
In this case, the pressure of the gas will not be defined as the sudden expansion has taken place so all the
molecules of sample will not get the information of expansion simultaneously, there will be a time gap and
hence, there will be a state of turbulence.
From some intermediate state of volume V, the work done is slight expansion from
V (V + dV)
dw = Pext . dV
So,
W=

THERMODYNAMICS_JEE MAINS # 9
Only initial and final states can be located (as at intermediate stages pressure of the gas is not defined)
(ii) Two step isothermal expansion :
Mass M0 is divided into two mass (may be equal or unequal)
M0 (m1 m 2 )
Now, if m1 only is removed, then the expansion of gas will take place against constant external pressure
Pext1 . V1 = Pi Vi (isothermal)
Now, if second mass m2 is also removed then expansion
V1 Vf will take place against constant pressure
Pext2 = Patm
So,

Work done in this irreversible expansion is greater than work done by gas during the single stage expansion
of gas and so on for three step expansion we divide the mass m0 into three masses m1, m2 and m3 and
remove these step by step and so on.
(iii) For n step expansion and n
Irreversible process becomes

THERMODYNAMICS_JEE MAINS # 10
This can be achieved by placing particles of sand one by one at a very slow take in the assembly which
keeps the temperature of gas constant in this case the expression of work done will be exactly similar to as
obtained in case of reversible expansion of gas
W = nRT ln(Vf/Vi)
This will automatically come out to be +ve as Vf < Vi

If m1 is placed first, then the first compression has taken place aganist external pressure of (Patm + m1g/A)
So,
W 1 = (Patm + m1 g/A) (V1 Vi)
Simlarly, W 2 = (Patm + m0 g/A) (Vf Vi)
Note : If process takes place in n steps and n then process will be like reversible compression

Conclusion :
Whenever work is done on the gas then it will be minimum in case of reversible process.
Thats why different machines/engines are designd to work reversibly so maximum output can be obtained
but minimum input is given to it
output work done by engine/machine/system
input work done by system us a surrounding
If expansion/compression takes place against constant external pressure then it is irreversible.
If there is sudden change then the process is irreversible.

as

from equation (i) & (ii)
dH = (dq)p only at constant pressure.
Heat given at constant pressure = Change in enthalpy
dH = (nCdT)p
dH = nCp dT
dH = dU + d(PV)
for an ideal gas
PV = nRT
d(PV) = d(nRT) = nRdT

used for judging an isothermal irreversible processes are applicable to adiabatic process.

Note: If two states A and B are connected by a reversible path then they can never be connected by an
irreversible path.
If the two states are linked by an adiabatic reversible and irreversible path then
wrev. = urev.
But as u is a state function
urev. = uirrev.
wirrev. = wrev.
as work is a path function.
If we assume that
wirrev. = wrev.
It implies that
urev. uirrev.. which again is a contradiction as U is a state function.
Two states A and B can never lie both on a reversible as will as irreversible adiabatic path.
There lies only one unique adiabatic path linkage between two states A and B.

Case - IV During phase transformation.
Phase transitions generally take place at constant pressure (unless specified) and at constant temperature.
So, T = 0
But still H and E are non zero (different from process on an ideal gas)
Because during phase transitions though the kinetic energy of molecules of substance remains same but
the potential energy gets modified or changed and since E is summation of all type of energies. So, E 0.
Also, during this phase transition (PV) 0
Hence, H 0.
Now, to calculate heat generally latent heats of transitions are given and since process is taking place at
constant pressure. So,
q = H
To calculate W, use dW = Pext dV
and then calculate E using Ist law of thermodynamics

Limitation :
First law cannot predict the direction of any process. But in nature a process is found to have a specific
direction at certain conditions.
1.
Energy can be the factor : To achieve stability
* All exothermic processes are spontaneous.
* All endothermic processes are non spontaneous.
Exceptions
* melting of ice (above 0C) although H > 0 , E > 0
* Vaporization of water (above 100C) H > 0 , E > 0
* Spreading of ink in water H = 0 , E = 0
* Mixing of two gases
* Endothermic solution of salt H > 0 , E > 0

For irreversible expansion the decrease in temprature will be lesser as work done is lesser hence,
decrease in entropy due to fall in temprature will be lesser in case of irrversible expansion. Hence,

THERMOCHEMISTRY
Enthalpy of a substance :
Every substance has a fixed value of enthalpy under any particular state. Though, its exact value cannot be
as Hm (H2O, g, 398 K, 1 atm). In very simple works, enthalpy can be considered as heat constant (amount)
of substance, and during reaction this heat is being released or absorbed.
Molar enthalpy of substance under standard conditions is called standard molar enthalpy of a substance.
Standard state of any substance means.
For a GAS standard state means ideal gas at 1 bar partial pressure at any give temperature.
For a LIQUID pure liquid at one bar pressure at 1 bar pressure at any given temperature.
For a PURE CRYSTALLINE SOLID pure crystalline solid at 1 bar pressure and at any given temperature
For any SUBSTANCE or ION IN SOLUTION the species should be in unit molality (can also be taken
as 1M concentration), at one bar pressure and at any given temperature.
Molar standard enthalpy of water vapours at 398 K will be represented as H(H2O, g , 398 K) and molar
standard enthalpy of liquid water at 398 K will be represented as Hm (H2O, l, 398 K)
(It is hypothetical but can be calculated).
We cannot exactly calculate enthalpy content of a substance only the change in enthalpy can be calculated
when substance is taken from one state to other.
For example :

Let enthalpy contant initially be Hm ,1 & finally enthalpy content be Hm , 2

Enthalpy of formation :
It is not possible to determine the absolute value of the molar enthalpy of a substance. However, based on
the following convention, the relative values of standard molar enthalpies of formation of various substances
can be built.
The standard enthalpy of formation of every element in its stable state of aggregation at one bar pressure
and at specified temperature is assigned a zero value.The specified temperature is usually taken as 25 C.
A few exmaples are
Hf (O2 , g) = 0
Hf (C, graphite) = 0
Hf (C, diamond) 0
Hf (Br2 , ) = 0
Hf (S, rhombic) = 0
Hf (S, monoclinic) 0
Hf (P, white) = 0
Hf (P, black) 0
The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the change in the standard enthalpy when one mole
of the compound is formed starting from the requisite amounts of elements in their stable state of aggregation.
The chemical equations corresponding to enthalpy of formation of few substances are given below.

But above equations cannot be for calculation of enthalpy of reaction as the molar enthalpies of different
species can not be exactly known.
yield the required equation. The corresponding enthalpies of reactions are also manipulated in the same way
so as to give the enthalpy of reaction for the desired chemical equation.
Since rH stands for the change of enthalpy when reactants (substances on the left hand side of the arrow)
are converted into products (substances on the right hand side of the arrow) at the same temperature and
pressure, if the reaction is reversed (i.e., products are written on the left hand side and reactants on the right
hand side), then the numerical value of rH remains the same, but its sign changes.
The utility of Hesss law is considerable. In almost all the thermochemical numericals, Hesss law is used.
One of the important applications of Hesss law is to determine enthalpy of reaction which is difficult to

Enthalpy of Combustion :
It is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound combines with the requisite amount of oxygen to
(graphite) and hydrogen. Thus, knowing the mesured value of HC(CH4, g), the enthalpy of formation of CH4
can be calculated. The value is
Hf(CH4, g) = Hf(CO2, g) + 2 Hf(H2O , ) HC (CH4, g)
= [ 393 + 2 (285) (890)] kJ mol1 = 73 kJ mol1
or, equivalently, we may add the following three chemical equations.
C(graphite) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)
2 [H2(g) +

O (g) H2O()]

CH = 393 kJ mol1
rH = 2( 285) kJ mol1
rH = ( 890) kJ mol1
fH = 73 kJ mol1

Enthalpy of Hydration :
Enthalpy of Neutralization :
The amount of heat released when one gram equivalent of an acid is neutralised by one gram equivalent of a
base.
or
The amount of heat released in formation of one mole of water when an acid is neutralised by a base.
or
Enthalpy of neutralization is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of H+ in dilute solution combines
with one mole of OH to give rise to undissociated water, i.e.
H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O()
H= 57.1 kJ/mole = 13.7 kcal/mol
Remember :
For Strong Acid + Strong Base, heat of neutralisation is always equal to 13.7 kcal/mole or 57.1 kJ/mole.
For any other combination of acid and base this heat is less than 13.7 kcal/mole or 57.1 kJ/mole.
Enthalpy of Ionization :
Whenever a weak acid (or base) reacts with a strong base (or acid), the release of heat is less than 57.1 kJ
mol1.
It is because of the fact that these acids or bases are not completely ionized in solution. Some of the heat is
consumed in ionizing there acids and bases this heat is known as enthalpy of ionization. Examples are :
HCN + Na+ OH Na+ + CN + H2O
rH = 12 kJ mol1
+
THERMODYNAMICS_JEE MAINS # 27
The complete reaction is obtained by adding the above two steps. Thus
HCN + OH H2O + CN
Obviously,
H = 12 kJ/mole
H = H1 + H2
H1 = HH2 = [12 (57.1)] = 45.1 kJ/mole
Greater the enthalpy of ionization of any weak acid or weak base, weaker will be the acid or base.
Enthalpy of Transition :
Enthalpy of transition is the enthalpy change when one mole of one allotropic form changes to another.
For example :
C(graphite) C(diamond)
Htrs0 = 1.90 kJ mol1
so if
C(graphite) + O2(g) CO2(g)
HC0 = 393.51 kJ mol-1
and
C(diamond) + O2(g) CO2(g)
HC0 = 395.41 kJ mol1
Subtracting, we have,
C(graphite) C(diamond)
Htrs0 = 1.90 kJ mol1
Enthalpy of Precipitation :
Enthalpy of precipitation is the enthalpy change when one mole of a precipitate is formed.
For example : BaCl2(aq.) + Na2SO4(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
rH0=24.27 kJ mol1
changes in enthalpy of any ionic reaction can then be found from these ionic enthalpies of formation and the
usual enthalpies of formation of compounds.
Bond Enthalpies :
The bond enthalpy is the average of enthalpies required to dissociate the said bond present in different
gaseous compounds into free atoms or radicals in the gaseous state. While bond dissociation enthalpy is
the enthalpy required to dissociate a given bond of some specific compound.for example the enthalpy of
dissociation of the OH bond depends on the nature of molecular species from which the H atom is being
separated. For example, in the water molecule.
H2O(g) H(g) + OH(g)
Hr0 = 501.87 kJ mol1
However, to break the OH bond in the hydroxyl radical required a different quantity of heat :
OH(g) O(g) + H(g)
Hr0 = 423.38 kJ mol1
The bond enthalpy, OH, is defined as the average of these two values, that is :
OH =
501.87mol 1 423.38kJmol1
= 462.625 kJ mol1
2
In the case of diatomic molecules, such as H2, the bond enthalpy and bond dissociation enthalpy are
identical because each refers to the reaction.
H2(g) 2H(g)
H H = Hr0 = 435.93 kJ mol1
Thus, the bond enthalpy given for any particular pair of atoms is the average value of the dissociation
enthaplies of the bond for a number of molecules in which the pair of atoms appears.

Kirchoffs equation
(Variation of H with temprature)
Since the enthalpy (or standard enthalpy) of a substance is dependent on state of the substance, value of
enthalpy of a substance changes with temperature and hence the enthalpy change of reaction is also
dependent on temperaturte at which the reaction is being carried out. This change is enthalpy change (or E,
of reaction is carried out at constant volume) is represented by Kirchoffs Equations.
P + Q R + S
at temperature T1 let the standard enthalpy of reaction be H1 , then
H1 = Hm (R,T1) + Hm (S, T1) Hm (P, T1) Hm (Q, T1)
If the same reaction is carried out at temperature T2, then
H2 = Hm (R,T2) + Hm (S, T2) Hm (P, T2) Hm (Q, T2)
Then, the change in enthalpy (or difference in enthalpy at these two temperatures)
H = H2 H1 = {Hm (R,T2) Hm (R,T1)} + {Hm (,T2) Hm (,T1)}
{Hm (P,T2) Hm (P,T1)} - {Hm (Q,T2) Hm (Q,T1)}
Hm (R, T2) Hm (R,T1) = CP, R (T2 T1) = Heat required at constant pressure to increase temperature of one
mole of R from T1 to T2
Similarly
Hm (S,T2) Hm (S,T1) = CP,S (T2 T1)
Hm (P,T2) Hm (P,T1) = CP,P (T2 T1) and
Hm (Q,T2) Hm (Q,T1) = CP,Q (T2 T1)
so
H = H2 H1 = CP,R (T2 T1) + CP,S(T2 T1) CP,P (T2 T1) CP,Q(T2 T1)
= [ CP,R + CP,S CP,P CP,Q] (T2 T1)
= CP (T2 T1)
CP = CP, R + CP,S CP,P CP,Q
= Difference in molar heat capacities of products and reactants.
so
H2 = H1 +
