Gasoline is actually a 3 (l) C8H18(l) -269 the value of H for that reaction mixture of compounds, but must be multiplied by the same assume for this problem that integer. gasoline is pure liquid octane (C8H18). Summary II •The change in enthalpy for a given reaction can be calculated from the enthalpies of Laws of Thermodynamics formation of the reactants and products: • o o o Hrxn = SmHf (products) - SnHf (reactants) • Elements in their standard states are not o include in the Hrxn calculations. That is, o Hf for an element in its standard state is 0. 1 Intro Entropy and heat Most natural events involve a decrease in total energy and an increase in disorder. • Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder of a system. • The energy that was “lost” was converted to heat. • Entropy gets the symbol S • An increase in energy/motion decreases the • Heat energy is the kinetic energy of an overall order (organization) of the system. object. • Energy is never created nor destroyed it • The more motion in an object the more simply changes form. random it becomes.
