Thermochemistry
 Energy is the ability to do work or transfer heat.
• Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its

transformations.
• Thermochemistry is the study of chemical reactions
and the energy changes that involve heat.

Thermochemistry
 The most important form of potential energy in
molecules is electrostatic potential energy, Eel:
 where k = 8.99*109 J.m/C2

 Electron charge: 1.602 * 10-19 Coulomb (C)
 The unit of energy commonly used is the Joule:
 It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on)

an object when a force of one Newton acts on that
object in the direction of the force's motion through a
distance of one meter.

Thermochemistry
 Electrostatic attraction occurs between oppositely
charged ions.
 Energy is released when chemical bonds are formed;
energy is consumed when chemical bonds are broken.

First Law of Thermodynamics
 First Law of Thermodynamics including;
Energy can be converted from one form to another,
but it is neither created nor destroyed
• Energy can be converted from one form to another,
but it is neither created nor destroyed.
• Energy can be transferred between the system and
surroundings.
• Chemical energy is converted to heat in grills.
• Sunlight is converted to chemical energy in green
plants.
• There are many examples of conversion of energy
from one form to another. For example;
 The Sun transforms nuclear energy into heat and
light energy.
 Our bodies convert chemical energy in our food into
mechanical energy for us to move.
 An electric fan transforms electrical energy into
kinetic energy. 7
System and Surroundings
 The system includes the molecules of interest.
 The surroundings are everything else.
 In thermochemistry we study the exchange of energy

between the system and surroundings.
 Open system: matter and energy can be exchanged

with the surroundings.
 Closed system: exchange energy-but not matter-

with the surroundings.
 Isolated system: neither matter nor energy may be

exchanged with surroundings.

 The internal energy of a system is the sum of all
kinetic and potential energies of all components of
the system; we call it E.
10
 By definition, the change in internal energy, ΔE, is the
final energy of the system minus the initial energy of the
system:
 ΔE < 0, Efinal < Einitial the system released energy to the

surroundings.
11
Thermodynamic Quantities: Three Parts
 1) A number, 2) a unit, 3) a sign
• A positive ΔE results when the system gains energy

from the surroundings.
• A negative ΔE results when the system loses energy

to the surroundings.
12
Thermodynamic Quantities: Three Parts
13
Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings
 When heat is absorbed by the system from the

surroundings, the process is endothermic.
 When heat is released by the system into the

surroundings, the process is exothermic.
14
Exchange of Heat between System and Surroundings
 The internal energy of a system is independent of the

path by which the system achieved that state. Internal
energy, E, is a state function.
15
State Functions
 q and w are not state functions.

 E is the same whether the battery is shorted out or is
discharged by running the fan.
 q and w are different in the two cases.

State Functions
 Example:
• Calculate the work (in J) associated with the
expansion of a gas from 44 mL to 63 mL at a
constant pressure of 14 atm. (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)
•
volume
W = -PΔV
• ΔV = 63 – 44  ΔV = 19 (mL)  ΔV = 0.019 (lit)
• W = -14 (atm) * 0.019  W = -0.266 (L.atm)
• 1 L.atm = 101.3 J
• -0.266 * 101.3 = -26.5 J
18
Enthalpy
 Enthalpy is a thermodynamic function equal to the

internal energy plus pressure * volume:
 When the system changes at constant pressure, the

change in enthalpy, ΔH, is

 Since ΔE = q + w and w = −PΔV, we can substitute
these into the enthalpy expression:
 The enthalpy change, ΔH, is defined as the heat gained or lost by

the system under constant pressure.
19
Properties of Enthalpy
 1. Enthalpy is a state function.
 2. Enthalpy is an extensive property.
 3. Enthalpy is reversible. The enthalpy change for a

reaction is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to
ΔH for the reverse reaction.
 4. ΔH for a reaction depends on the state of the

products and the state of the reactants.

Endothermic and Exothermic

Enthalpies of Reaction
22
Calorimetry
 Calorimetry, the measurement of heat released or

absorbed by a chemical reaction.
 A calorimeter is the device used to measure heat.
 The quantity of heat transferred by the reaction causes a
change in temperature of the solution.
23
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
 The amount of energy required to raise the temperature

of a substance by 1 K (1oC) is its heat capacity (C in
units of J/K). energy
temprusure
 We define specific heat capacity (or simply specific

heat; Cs or s in units of J/g.K) as the amount of energy
required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance
by 1 K.
 If the amount is one mole, it is the molar heat capacity.
24
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
 Example:
 A 250g copper pipe is heated from 10°C to 31°C. What
is the energy needed to heat the pipe? The specific heat
capacity of copper is 390 J/kg-1°C-1.
 q=m*Cs*ΔT
M = 250 g  m=0.25 Kg
Cs = 390 J/kg-1°C-1
ΔT = 31-10  ΔT = 21 °C
q=m*Cs*ΔT  q=0.25 * 390 * 21  q= 2047.5 = 2050 J
