Thermochemistry
Part 1-Energy Exchanges and Calorimetry
Forms of Energy
Kinetic Energy-Energy of motion(Thermal, Electrical. Magnetic,etc)
KE = ½(mass)(velocity)2 = ½ mv2
Examples-moving object; molecular motion; electron motion
Example Problem
Potential Energy-Energy of Position
PE = (mass)(acceleration due to gravity)(distance from reference point)= mgh
Examples- coiled spring; energy locked within molecules
Relationship Between Kinetic and Potential Energy
Total Energy = KE + PE
KE--à PE
Reactions that absorb kinetic energy to produce new product molecules
PE -à KE
Chemical Reaction that produces energy from product formation
Units of Energy
Calorie(cal)- amount of energy required to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
Joule(j)
1 calorie = 4.18 Joules
Kcalorie (Kcal)
1000 calories = 1 Kcal = 4180 j
Kilojoule (Kj)
1 Kj = 1000 j
T-6.4 Relationship Between A Thermodynamic System and Its Environment
Thermal Exchanges Between System and Environment
Endothermic- Energy enters the System from the Environment(ie: absorbed by System)
Energy taken from environment lowering its temperature
Temperature lowering indicative of a reaction system that is endothermic
Exothermic- Energy is given off by or exits the System to the environment
Energy is added to the environment increasing its temperature
Temperature increasing indicative of a reaction system that is exothermic.
Heats of reaction(Enthalpy Change per mole)
Heats of Reaction ( DH )- The energy exchanged by a reaction system and its environment
Types of Heats of Reaction                      ( D H = Hf – Hi)
Heat of solution
Heat of sublimation
Heat of Combustion
Heat of Compound Formation
Heats of Reaction And Energy Exchange
If D H > 0 (ie:positive) Then reaction is endothermic
Product Energy State (enthalpy) > reactant energy state
If  D H <0 (ie:negative) Then reaction is exothermic
Product energy state < Reactant energy state

Thermochemical Equations and D H
Thermochemical Equation- balanced equation with an energy term included
A   +   B   --à   C   +   D   + energy
Exothermic reaction with D H < 0
A   +   B   +   energy --à C   +   D
Endothermic reaction with D H > 0
If the equation is multiplied by a common factor then the D H is also multiplied by the same factor
If equation is reversed then D H changes sign
T-47 Reversing A Chemical Reaction
Mol-Energy Relationships In A Thermochemical Equation
2H2  +  O2  -à  2H2O   DH = -483.7 Kj
2 mols H2 = -483.7 Kj
1 mol O2 = -483.7 Kj
2 mols H2O = -483.7 Kj
Determining Energy Exchange From A Mass of Component Involved In The Reaction
Thermo chemical Stoichiometry Problems
                          1                       2
Grams of given -à mols of given-à Kj of requested
Grams of given  x  1 mol given / molecular mass in grams = mols of given
Mols of given  X  D H / 1 mol given = Kj energy requested
Example
Heat Flow Equation
Heat Flow = q = (mass of system) (specific heat of system) (final temp – Initial Temp)
Q = mcD t = mc(tf – ti)
