Enthalpy, the sum of the internal energy and the product of the pressure and volume of a thermodynamic system. Enthalpy is an energy-like property or state function. Enthalpy is defined by the letter H We will basically study reactions under constant pressure and constant volume H = E + PV E = internal energy of the system P = pressure of the system V = volume of the system Enthalpy • Thus, ∆H of the system is equal to the energy flow as heat… ∆H = Hproducts - Hreactants • When Hproducts > Hreactants, ΔH is positive: heat is absorbed by the system, and the reaction is endothermic. • When Hproducts < Hreactants, ΔH is negative: overall decrease in enthalpy is achieved by the generation of heat, and the reaction is exothermic ∆E = (−) Exothermic reaction ∆E = (+) Endothermic reaction Heat is increasing in the surroundings Heat is increasing in the system Increasing number of microstates Decreasing number of microstates Hess’s Law • Hess’s Law stated that enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps. ∆H1 = ∆H2 + ∆H3 Practice time 1. Calculate the enthalpy of the following chemical reaction: CS2(ℓ) + 3O2(g) ---> CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) GiVen: C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) ΔH = −393.5 kJ/mol S(s) + O2(g) ---> SO2(g) ΔH = −296.8 kJ/mol C(s) + 2S(s) ---> CS2(ℓ) ΔH = +87.9 kJ/mol 2.

Entropy is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work (Britannica) . Entropy can be viewed as a measure of molecular randomness or disorder. • The Second Law of Thermodynamics: In any spontaneous process there is always an increase in the entropy of the universe. Entropy ∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr ΔSuniv is positive: • Entropy of the universe increases • Process is spontaneous in the direction written ΔSuniv is negative: • Process is spontaneous in the opposite direction ΔSuniv is zero: • Process has no tendency to occur • System is at equilibrium Spontaneity • Processes are spontaneous when they result in an increase in disorder. • Entropy changes in the surroundings are determined primarily by the flow of energy into or out of the system as heat. • ∆Ssurr = (+) energy is being added up to the surroundings. Reaction is exothermic/ exergonic. Surroundings: greater disorder. • ∆Ssurr = (−) energy is being absorbed from the surroundings. Reaction is endothermic/ endergonic. Surroundings: more organized. H2O1(l) à H2O(g) 18 mL of liquid water becoming to 31 L of gaseous water • A system tends to undergo changes that lower its energy because when a system at constant temperature moves to a lower energy, the energy it gives up is transferred to the surroundings, leading to an increase in entropy there. • Temperature has a huge impact on spontaneity: • Low temperatures: energy transfer plays an important role • High temperature: energy transfer is not so important ∆� ∆� = − ���� � 4. Arrange the compounds in order of increasing entropy (∆S) and justify your order. a) CH3OH(s), b) CH3OH(l), c) CH3OH(g), d) CH3CH2OH(g) 5.

The oxidation of SO2 in air: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) à 2SO3(g) Free Energy (∆G) ∆G = ∆H − (T × ∆S) ∆G = variation in free energy ∆H = variation in enthalpy T = temperature in Kelvins ∆S = variation in entropy ∆! ∆S =− univ " Reactions are spontaneous when ∆G is negative. Since energy is being given off.
