6 Thermodynamics
It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that, within the framework of theapplicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown. Albert Einstein Chemical energy stored by molecules can be released as heat during chemical reactions when a fuel like methane, cooking gas or coal burns in air. The chemical energy may also be used to do mechanical work when a fuel burns in an engine or to provide electrical energy through a galvanic cell like dry cell. Thus, various forms of energy are interrelated and under certain conditions, these may be transformed from one form into another. The study of these energy transformations forms the subject matter of thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics deal with energy changes of macroscopic systems involving a large number of molecules rather than microscopic systems containing a few molecules. Thermodynamics is not concerned about how and at what rate these energy transformations are carried out, but is based on initial and final states of a system undergoing the change. Laws of thermodynamics apply only when a system is in equilibrium or moves from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state. Macroscopic properties like pressure and temperature do not change with time for a system in equilibrium state. In this unit, we would like to answer some of the important questions through thermodynamics, like: How do we determine the energy changes involved in a chemical reaction/process? Will it occur or not? What drives a chemical reaction/process? To what extent do the chemical reactions proceed?

6.1 THERMODYNAMIC TERMS We are interested in chemical reactions and the energy changes accompanying them. For this we need to know certain thermodynamic terms. These are discussed below. 6.1.1 The System and the Surroundings A system in thermodynamics refers to that part of universe in which observations are made and remaining universe constitutes the surroundings. The surroundings include everything other than the system. System and the surroundings together constitute the universe . The universe = The system + The surroundings However, the entire universe other than the system is not affected by the changes taking place in the system. Therefore, for all practical purposes, the surroundings are that portion of the remaining universe which can interact with the system. Usually, the region of space in the neighbourhood of the system constitutes its surroundings. For example, if we are studying the reaction between two substances A and B kept in a beaker, the beaker containing the reaction mixture is the system and the room where the beaker is kept is the surroundings (Fig. 6.1).

Note that the system may be defined by physical boundaries, like beaker or test tube, or the system may simply be defined by a set of Cartesian coordinates specifying a particular volume in space. It is necessary to think of the system as separated from the surroundings by some sort of wall which may be real or imaginary. The wall that separates the system from the surroundings is called boundary. This is designed to allow us to control and keep track of

all movements of matter and energy in or out of the system. 6.1.2 Types of the System We, further classify the systems according to the movements of matter and energy in or out of the system. 1. Open System In an open system, there is exchange of energy and matter between system and surroundings [Fig. 6.2 (a)]. The presence of reactants in an open beaker is an example of an open system*. Here the boundary is an imaginary surface enclosing the beaker and reactants.

2. Closed System In a closed system, there is no exchange of matter, but exchange of energy is possible between system and the surroundings [Fig. 6.2 (b)]. The presence of reactants in a closed vessel made of conducting material e.g., copper or steel is an example of a closed system.

3. Isolated System In an isolated system, there is no exchange of energy or matter between the system and the surroundings [Fig. 6.2 (c)]. The presence of reactants in a thermos flask or any other closed insulated vessel is an example of an isolated system.

* We could have chosen only the reactants as system then walls of the beakers will act as boundary.

6.1.3 The State of the System The system must be described in order to make any useful calculations by specifying quantitatively each of the properties such as its pressure (p), volume (V), and temperature (T ) as well as the composition of the system. We need to describe the system by specifying it before and after the change. You would recall from your Physics course that the state of a
f ile:///C:/Users/MANSOOR/Desktop/6 Thermody namics Textbooks.htm 4/86

system in mechanics is completely specified at a given instant of time, by the position and velocity of each mass point of the system. In thermodynamics, a different and much simpler concept of the state of a system is introduced. It does not need detailed knowledge of motion of each particle because, we deal with average measurable properties of the system. We specify the state of the system by state functions or state variables. The state of a thermodynamic system is described by its measurable or macroscopic (bulk) properties. We can describe the state of a gas by quoting its pressure (p), volume (V), temperature (T ), amount (n) etc. Variables like p, V, T are called state variables or state functions because their values depend only on the state of the system and not on how it is reached. In order to completely define the state of a system it is not necessary to define all the properties of the system; as only a certain number of properties can be varied independently. This number depends on the nature of the system. Once these minimum number of macroscopic properties are fixed, others automatically have definite values. The state of the surroundings can never be completely specified; fortunately it is not necessary to do so. 6.1.4 The Internal Energy as a State Function When we talk about our chemical system losing or gaining energy, we need to introduce a quantity which represents the total energy of the system. It may be chemical, electrical, mechanical or any other type of energy you may think of, the sum of all these is the energy of the system. In thermodynamics, we call it the internal energy, U of the system, which may change, when heat passes into or out of the system, work is done on or by the system, matter enters or leaves the system. These systems are classified accordingly as you have already studied in section 6.1.2. (a) Work Let us first examine a change in internal energy by doing work. We take a system containing some quantity of water in a thermos flask or in an insulated beaker. This would not allow exchange of heat between the system and surroundings through its boundary and we call this type of system as adiabatic. The manner in which the state of such a system may be changed will be called adiabatic process. Adiabatic process is a process in which there is no transfer of heat between the system and surroundings. Here, the wall separating the system and the surroundings is called the adiabatic wall (Fig 6.3).

Let us bring the change in the internal energy of the system by doing some work on it. Let us call the initial state of the system as state A and its temperature as TA. Let the internal energy of the system in state A be called UA. We can change the state of the system in two different ways. One way: We do some mechanical work, say 1 kJ, by rotating a set of small paddles and thereby churning water. Let the new state be called B state and its temperature, as TB. It is found that TB > TA and the change in temperature, T = TB-TA. Let the internal energy of the system in state B be UB and the change in internal energy, U =UB- UA. Second way: We now do an equal amount (i.e., 1kJ) electrical work with the help of an

immersion rod and note down the temperature change. We find that the change in temperature is same as in the earlier case, say, TB TA. In fact, the experiments in the above manner were done by J. P. Joule between 1840 and 50 he was able to show that a given amount of work done on the system, no matter how it was done (irrespective of path) produced the same change of state, as measured by the change in the temperature of the system. So, it seems appropriate to define a quantity, the internal energy U, whose value is characteristic of the state of a system, whereby the adiabatic work, wad required to bring about a change of state is equal to the difference between the value of U in one state and that in another state, U i.e., U=U2 U1 =wad Therefore, internal energy, U, of the system is a state function. The positive sign expresses that wad is positive when work is done on the system. Similarly, if the work is done by the system,wad will be negative. Can you name some other familiar state functions? Some of other familiar state functions are V, p, and T. For example, if we bring a change in temperature of the system from 25C to 35C, the change in temperature is 35C-25C = +10C, whether we go straight up to 35C or we cool the system for a few degrees, then take the system to the final temperature. Thus, T is a state function and the change in temperature is independent of the route taken. Volume of water in a pond, for example, is a state function, because change in volume of its water is independent of the route by which water is filled in the pond, either by rain or by tubewell or by both, (b) Heat We can also change the internal energy of a system by transfer of heat from the surroundings to the system or vice-versa without expenditure of work. This exchange of energy, which is a result of temperature difference is called heat, q. Let us consider bringing about the same change in temperature (the same initial and final states as before in section 6.1.4 (a) by transfer of heat through thermally conducting walls instead of adiabatic walls (Fig. 6.4).

We take water at temperature, TA in a container having thermally conducting walls, say made up of copper and enclose it in a huge heat reservoir at temperature, TB. The heat absorbed by the system (water), q can be measured in terms of temperature difference , TB TA. In this case change in internal energy, U= q, when no work is done at constant volume. The q is positive, when heat is transferred from the surroundings to the system and q is negative when heat is transferred from system to the surroundings. (c) The general case Let us consider the general case in which a change of state is brought about both by doing work and by transfer of heat. We write change in internal energy for this case as: U = q + w (6.1) For a given change in state, q and w can vary depending on how the change is carried out. However, q +w = U will depend only on initial and final state. It will be independent of the way the change is carried out. If there is no transfer of energy as heat or as work (isolated system) i.e., if w = 0 and q = 0, then U = 0. The equation 6.1 i.e., U = q + w is mathematical statement of the first law of thermodynamics , which states that The energy of an isolated system is constant. It is commonly stated as the law of conservation of energy i.e., energy can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Note: There is considerable difference between the character of the thermodynamic property energy and that of a mechanical property such as volume. We can specify an unambiguous (absolute) value for volume of a system in a particular state, but not the absolute value of the internal energy. However, we can measure only the changes in the internal energy, U of the system. Problem 6.1 Express the change in internal energy of a system when (i) No heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings, but work (w) is done on the system. What type of wall does the system have ? (ii) No work is done on the system, but q amount of heat is taken out from the system and given to the surroundings. What type of wall does the system have? (iii) w amount of work is done by the system and q amount of heat is supplied to the system. What type of system would it be? Solution (i) U = wad , wall is adiabatic (ii) U = q, thermally conducting walls (iii) U = q w, closed system. 6.2 APPLICATIONS Many chemical reactions involve the generation of gases capable of doing mechanical work or the generation of heat. It is important for us to quantify these changes and relate them to the changes in the internal energy. Let us see how! 6.2.1 Work First of all, let us concentrate on the nature of work a system can do. We will consider only mechanical work i.e., pressure-volume work. For understanding pressure-volume work, let us consider a cylinder which contains one mole of an ideal gas fitted with a frictionless piston. Total volume of the gas is Vi and pressure of the gas inside is p. If external pressure is pex which is greater than p, piston is moved inward till the pressure inside becomes equal to pex. Let this change be achieved in a single step and the final volume be Vf . During this compression, suppose piston moves a distance, l and is cross-sectional area of the piston is A [Fig. 6.5(a)].

then, volume change = l x A = V = (Vf Vi ) We also know, pressure = force/area Therefore, force on the piston = pex . A If w is the work done on the system by movement of the piston then w = force distance = pex . A .l = pex . (-V) = pex V = pex (Vf Vi ) -(6.2) The negative sign of this expression is required to obtain conventional sign for w, which will be positive. It indicates that in case of compression work is done on the system. Here (Vf Vi ) will be negative and negative multiplied by negative will be positive. Hence the sign obtained for the work will be positive.

If the pressure is not constant at every stage of compression, but changes in number of finite steps, work done on the gas will be summed over all the steps and will be equal to pV [Fig. 6.5 (b)]

If the pressure is not constant but changes during the process such that it is always infinitesimally greater than the pressure of the gas, then, at each stage of compression, the volume decreases by an infinitesimal amount, dV. In such a case we can calculate the work done on the gas by the relation

-( 6.3) Here, pex at each stage is equal to (pin + dp) in case of compression [Fig. 6.5(c)]. In an expansion process under similar conditions, the external pressure is always less than the pressure of the system i.e., pex = (pin -dp). In general case we can write, pex = (pin + dp). Such processes are called reversible processes.

A process or change is said to be reversible, if a change is brought out in such a way that the process could, at any moment, be reversed by an infinitesimal change. A reversible process proceeds infinitely slowly by a series of equilibrium states such that system and the surroundings are always in near equilibrium with each other. Processes other than reversible processes are known as irreversible processes. In chemistry, we face problems that can be solved if we relate the work term to the internal pressure of the system. We can relate work to internal pressure of the system under reversible conditions by writing equation 6.3 as follows:

Since dp dV is very small we can write

-(6.4) Now, the pressure of the gas (pin which we can write as p now) can be expressed in terms of its volume through gas equation. For n mol of an ideal gas i.e., pV =nRT p = nRT/V Therefore, at constant temperature (isothermal process),

= 2.303 nRT log Vf/Vi (6.5) Free expansion: Expansion of a gas in vacuum (pex = 0) is called free expansion. No work is done during free expansion of an ideal gas whether the process is reversible or irreversible (equation 6.2 and 6.3). Now, we can write equation 6.1 in number of ways depending on the type of processes. Let us substitute w = pexV (eq. 6.2) in equation 6.1, and we get U = q pexV If a process is carried out at constant volume (V = 0), then U = qV the subscript V in qV denotes that heat is supplied at constant volume. Isothermal and free expansion of an ideal gas For isothermal (T = constant) expansion of an ideal gas into vacuum ; w = 0 since pex = 0. Also, Joule determined experimentally that q = 0; therefore, U = 0 Equation 6.1, U =q+w can be expressed for isothermal irreversible and reversible changes as follows:
f ile:///C:/Users/MANSOOR/Desktop/6 Thermody namics Textbooks.htm 13/86

1. For isothermal irreversible change q = -w = pex (Vf Vi ) 2. For isothermal reversible change q = w = nRT ln Vf /Vi = 2.303 nRT log Vf /Vi 3. For adiabatic change, q = 0, U = wad Problem 6.2 Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally into a vacuum until its total volume is 10 litres. How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the expansion ? Solution We have q = w = pex (10 2) = 0(8) = 0 No work is done; no heat is absorbed. Problem 6.3 Consider the same expansion, but this time against a constant external pressure of 1 atm. Solution We have q = w = pex (8) = 8 litre-atm Problem 6.4 Consider the same expansion, to a final volume of 10 litres conducted reversibly. Solution We have q = w = 2.303 x 10 log(10/2) = 16.1 litre-atm 6.2.2 Enthalpy , H (a) A useful new state function We know that the heat absorbed at constant volume is equal to change in the internal energy i.e., U = qV. But most of chemical reactions are carried out not at constant volume, but in flasks or test tubes under constant atmospheric pressure. We need to define another state function which may be suitable under these conditions.

We may write equation (6.1) as U = qp pV at constant pressure, where qp is heat absorbed by the system and -pV represent expansion work done by the system. Let us represent the initial state by subscript 1 and final state by 2 We can rewrite the above equation as U2 -U1 = qp p (V2 V1 ) On rearranging, we get qp = (U2 + pV2 ) (U1 + pV1 ) (6.6) Now we can define another thermodynamic function, the enthalpy H [Greek word enthalpien, to warm or heat content] as : H = U + pV (6.7) so, equation (6.6) becomes qp = H2 H1 = H Although q is a path dependent function, H is a state function because it depends on U, p and V, all of which are state functions. Therefore, H is independent of path. Hence, qp is also independent of path. For finite changes at constant pressure, we can write equation 6.7 as H = U + pV Since p is constant, we can write H = U + pV -(6.8) It is important to note that when heat is absorbed by the system at constant pressure, we are actually measuring changes in the enthalpy. Remember H = qp , heat absorbed by the system at constant pressure. H is negative for exothermic reactions which evolve heat during the reaction and H is positive for endothermic reactions which absorb heat from the surroundings. At constant volume (V = 0), U = qV, therefore equation 6.8 becomes H = U = qV

The difference between H and U is not usually significant for systems consisting of only solids and / or liquids. Solids and liquids do not suffer any significant volume changes upon heating. The difference, however, becomes significant when gases are involved. Let us consider a reaction involving gases. If VA is the total volume of the gaseous reactants, VB is the total volume of the gaseous products, nA is the number of moles of gaseous reactants and nB is the number of moles of gaseous products, all at constant pressure and temperature, then using the ideal gas law, we write, pVA = nART and pVB = nBRT Thus, pVB pVA = nBRT nART = (nB-nA)RT or p (VB VA) = (nB nA) RT or p V = ng RT (6.9) Here, ng refers to the number of moles of gaseous products minus the number of moles of gaseous reactants. Substituting the value of pV from equation 6.9 in equation 6.8, we get H = U + ng RT -(6.10) The equation 6.10 is useful for calculating H from U and vice versa. Problem 6.5 If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy change for vapourisation of 1 mol of water at 1bar and 100C is 41kJ mol-1 . Calculate the internal energy change, when (i) 1 mol of water is vaporised at 1 bar pressure and 100C. (ii) 1 mol of water is converted into ice. Solution (i) The change H2 O(l) H2 O(g) H = =U + ng RT or U = H ng RT, substituting the values, we get

U = 41.00 kJmol-1 x 8.3 Jmol-1 K-1 x 373 K = 41.00 kJ mol-1 3.096 kJ mol-1 = 37.904 kJ mol-1 (ii) The change H2 O(l) H2 O(s) There is negligible change in volume, So, we can put pV = ng RT 0 in this case, H U so, U =41.00kJ mol-1 (b) Extensive and Intensive Properties In thermodynamics, a distinction is made between extensive properties and intensive properties. An extensive property is a property whose value depends on the quantity or size of matter present in the system. For example, mass, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc. are extensive properties. Those properties which do not depend on the quantity or size of matter present are known as intensive properties. For example temperature, density, pressure etc. are intensive properties. A molar property, m , is the value of an extensive property of the system for 1 mol of the substance. If n is the amount of matter, m = /n is independent of the amount of matter. Other examples are molar volume, Vm and molar heat capacity, Cm . Let us understand the distinction between extensive and intensive properties by considering a gas enclosed in a container of volume V and at temperature T [Fig. 6.6(a)]. Let us make a partition such that volume is halved, each part [Fig. 6.6 (b)] now has one half of the original volume, V/2, but the temperature will still remain the same i.e., T. It is clear that volume is an extensive property and temperature is an intensive property.

(c) Heat Capacity In this sub-section, let us see how to measure heat transferred to a system. This heat appears as a rise in temperature of the system in case of heat absorbed by the system. The increase of temperature is proportional to the heat transferred q=coeffT The magnitude of the coefficient depends on the size, composition and nature of the system. We can also write it as q = C T The coefficient, C is called the heat capacity. Thus, we can measure the heat supplied by monitoring the temperature rise, provided we know the heat capacity. When C is large, a given amount of heat results in only a small temperature rise. Water has a large heat capacity i.e., a lot of energy is needed to raise its temperature. C is directly proportional to amount of substance. The molar heat capacity of a substance, Cm = C/n , is the heat capacity for one mole of the substance and is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one mole by one degree celsius (or one kelvin). Specific heat, also called specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree celsius (or one kelvin). For finding out the heat, q, required to raise the temperatures of a sample, we multiply the specific heat of the substance, c, by the mass m, and temperatures change, T as q = C m T =CT (6.11) (d) The relationship between Cp and CV for an ideal gas At constant volume, the heat capacity, C is denoted by CV and at constant pressure, this is

denoted by Cp . Let us find the relationship between the two. We can write equation for heat, q at constant volume as qV = CVT =U at constant pressure as qp = Cp T =H The difference between Cp and CV can be derived for an ideal gas as: For a mole of an ideal gas, H = U + (pV ) = U + (RT ) = U + RT H= U+RT -(6.12) On putting the values of H and U, we have Cp T = CVT + R T (6.13)

6.3 MEASUREMENT OF U AND H: CALORIMETRY We can measure energy changes associated with chemical or physical processes by an experimental technique called calorimetry. In calorimetry, the process is carried out in a vessel called calorimeter, which is immersed in a known volume of a liquid. Knowing the heat capacity of the liquid in which calorimeter is immersed and the heat capacity of calorimeter, it is possible to determine the heat evolved in the process by measuring temperature changes. Measurements are made under two different conditions: i) at constant volume, qV ii) at constant pressure, qp (a) U measurements For chemical reactions, heat absorbed at constant volume, is measured in a bomb calorimeter (Fig. 6.7). Here, a steel vessel (the bomb) is immersed in a water bath. The whole device is called calorimeter. The steel vessel is immersed in water bath to ensure that no heat is lost to the surroundings. A combustible substance is burnt in pure dioxygen supplied in the steel bomb. Heat evolved during the reaction is transferred to the water around the bomb and its temperature is monitored. Since the bomb calorimeter is sealed, its volume does not change i.e., the energy changes associated with reactions are measured at constant volume. Under these conditions, no work is done as the reaction is carried out at constant volume in the bomb calorimeter. Even for reactions involving gases, there is no work done as V = 0. Temperature change of the calorimeter produced by the completed reaction is then converted

to qV, by using the known heat capacity of the calorimeter with the help of equation 6.11.

(b) H measurements Measurement of heat change at constant pressure (generally under atmospheric pressure) can be done in a calorimeter shown in Fig. 6.8. We know that H = qp (at constant p) and, therefore, heat absorbed or evolved, qp at constant pressure is also called the heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction, rH.

In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system loses heat to the surroundings. Therefore, qp will be negative and rH will also be negative. Similarly in an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed, qp is positive and rH will be positive. Problem 6.6 1g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atmospheric pressure according to the equation C (graphite) + O2 (g) CO2 (g) During the reaction, temperature rises from 298 K to 299 K. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 20.7kJ/K, what is the enthalpy change for the above reaction at 298 K and 1 atm?

Solution Suppose q is the quantity of heat from the reaction mixture and CV is the heat capacity of the calorimeter, then the quantity of heat absorbed by the calorimeter. q = CV x T Quantity of heat from the reaction will have the same magnitude but opposite sign because the heat lost by the system (reaction mixture) is equal to the heat gained by the calorimeter. q = CV x T = 20.7 kJ/K x (299 298)K = 20.7 kJ (Here, negative sign indicates the exothermic nature of the reaction) Thus, U for the combustion of the 1g of graphite = 20.7 kJK-1 For combustion of 1 mol of graphite, = (12.0 gmol-1 x (20.7kJ))/1g = 2.48 102 kJ mol-1 , Since ng = 0, H = U = 2.48 102 kJ mol-1 6.4 ENTHALPY CHANGE, rH OF A REACTION REACTION ENTHALPY In a chemical reaction, reactants are converted into products and is represented by, Reactants Products The enthalpy change accompanying a reaction is called the reaction enthalpy. The enthalpy change of a chemical reaction, is given by the symbol rH rH = (sum of enthalpies of products) (sum of enthalpies of reactants)

= (6.14)

(Here symbol (sigma) is used for summation and ai and bi are the stoichiometric coefficients of the products and reactants respectively in the balanced chemical equation. For example, for the reaction CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2H2 O (l)

= [Hm (CO2 ,g) + 2Hm (H2 O, l)]- [Hm (CH4 , g) + 2Hm (O2 , g)]

where Hm is the molar enthalpy. Enthalpy change is a very useful quantity. Knowledge of this quantity is required when one needs to plan the heating or cooling required to maintain an industrial chemical reaction at constant temperature. It is also required to calculate temperature dependence of equilibrium constant. (a) Standard enthalpy of reactions Enthalpy of a reaction depends on the conditions under which a reaction is carried out. It is, therefore, necessary that we must specify some standard conditions. The standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change for a reaction when all the participating substances are in their standard states. The standard state of a substance at a specified temperature is its pure form at 1 bar. For example, the standard state of liquid ethanol at 298 K is pure liquid ethanol at 1 bar; standard state of solid iron at 500 K is pure iron at 1 bar. Usually data are taken at 298 K. Standard conditions are denoted by adding the superscriptVto the symbol H, e.g., H (b) Enthalpy changes during phase transformations Phase transformations also involve energy changes. Ice, for example, requires heat for melting. Normally this melting takes place at constant pressure (atmospheric pressure) and during phase change, temperature remains constant (at 273 K). H2 O(s) H2 O( l); fusH = 6.00 kJ mol1 Here fusH is enthalpy of fusion in standard state. If water freezes, then process is reversed and equal amount of heat is given off to the surroundings. The enthalpy change that accompanies melting of one mole of a solid substance in standard state is called standard enthalpy of fusion or molar enthalpy of fusion, fusH . Melting of a solid is endothermic, so all enthalpies of fusion are positive. Water requires heat for evaporation. At constant temperature of its boiling point Tb and at constant pressure: H2 O(l) H2 O(g); vap H = + 40.79kJ mol-1 vap H is the standard enthalpy of vaporization.

vaporization, vap H . Sublimation is direct conversion of a solid into its vapour. Solid CO2 or dry ice sublimes at 195K with sub H=25.2 kJ mol-1 ; naphthalene sublimes slowly and for this sub H = 73.0 kJ mol-1 . Standard enthalpy of sublimation, sub H is the change in enthalpy when one mole of a solid substance sublimes at a constant temperature and under standard pressure (1bar). The magnitude of the enthalpy change depends on the strength of the intermolecular interactions in the substance undergoing the phase transfomations. For example, the strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules hold them tightly in liquid phase. For an organic liquid, such as acetone, the intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions are significantly weaker. Thus, it requires less heat to vaporise 1 mol of acetone than it does to vaporize 1 mol of water. Table 6.1 gives values of standard enthalpy changes of fusion and vaporisation for some substances. td> Table 6.1 Standard Enthalpy Changes of Fusion and Vaporisation

Its symbol is fH, where the subscript f indicates that one mole of the compound in question has been formed in its standard state from its elements in their most stable states of aggregation. The reference state of an element is its most stable state of aggregation at 25C and 1 bar pressure. For example, the reference state of dihydrogen is H2 gas and those of dioxygen, carbon and sulphur are O2 gas, Cgraphite and Srhombic respectively. Some reactions with standard molar enthalpies of formation are given below.

special case of rH, where one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements, as in the above three equations, where 1 mol of each, water, methane and ethanol is formed. In contrast, the enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction: CaO(s)+CO2 (g)CaCO3 (s); rH = -178.3kJ mol1 is not an enthalpy of formation of calcium carbonate, since calcium carbonate has been formed from other compounds, and not from its constituent elements. Also, for the reaction given below, enthalpy change is not standard enthalpy of formation, fH for HBr(g). H2 (g) + Br2 ( l) 2HBr(g); rH = -72.8 kJmol1 Here two moles, instead of one mole of the product is formed from the elements, i.e., rH = 2fH. Therefore, by dividing all coefficients in the balanced equation by 2, expression for enthalpy of formation of HBr (g) is written as H2 (g) + Br2 (1) HBr(g ); fH = -36.4 kJ mol1 Standard enthalpies of formation of some common substances are given in Table 6.2.

By convention, standard enthalpy for formation, fH, of an element in reference state, i.e., its most stable state of aggregation is taken as zero. Suppose, you are a chemical engineer and want to know how much heat is required to decompose calcium carbonate to lime and carbon dioxide, with all the substances in their standard state. CaCO3 (s) CaO(s) + CO2 (g); rH = ? Here, we can make use of standard enthalpy of formation and calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. The following general equation can be used for the enthalpy change calculation.

rH =

ai fH(products) +

bi fH(reactants)

(6.15) where a and b represent the coefficients of the products and reactants in the balanced equation. Let us apply the above equation for decomposition of calcium carbonate. Here, coefficients a and b are 1 each. Therefore, rH = fH[CaO(s)] + fH[CO2 (g)] fH[CaCO3 (s)] = 1( -635.1 kJ mol-1 ) 1( -393.5 kJ mol-1 ) -1( -1206.9 kJ mol-1 ) = 178.3 kJ mol-1 Thus, the decomposition of CaCO3 (s) is an endothermic process and you have to heat it for getting the desired products. (d) Thermochemical equations A balanced chemical equation together with the value of its rH is called a thermochemical equation. We specify the physical state (alongwith allotropic state) of the substance in an equation. For example: C2 H5 OH(l) + 3O2 (g) 2CO2 (g) + 3H2 O( l): rH = -1367 kJ mol-1 The abov e equation describes the combustion of liquid ethanol at constant temperature and pressure. The negative sign of enthalpy change indicates that this is an exothermic reaction. It would be necessary to remember the following conventions regarding thermochemical

equations. 1. The coefficients in a balanced thermochemical equation refer to the number of moles (never molecules) of reactants and products involved in the reaction. 2. The numerical value of rH refers to the number of moles of substances specified by an equation. Standard enthalpy change rH will have units as kJ mol-1 . To illustrate the concept, let us consider the calculation of heat of reaction for the following reaction : Fe2 O3 s + 3H2 g2Fe(s) + 3H2 O(l) , From the Table (6.2) of standard enthalpy of formation (fH), we find : fH(H2 O, l) = -285.83 kJ mol-1 ; fH(Fe2 O3 , s)= 824.2 kJ mol-1 ; Also fH (Fe2 O3 , s) = 0 and fH(H2 ,g ) = 0 as per convention Then, rH1 = 3(-285.83 kJ mol-1 ) 1(- 824.2 kJ mol-1 ) = (-857.5 + 824.2) kJ mol-1 = -33.3 kJ mol-1 Note that the coefficients used in these calculations are pure numbers, which are equal to the respective stoichiometric coefficients. The unit for rH is kJ mol-1 , which means per mole of reaction. Once we balance the chemical equation in a particular way, as above, this defines the mole of reaction. If we had balanced the equation differently, for example, (1/2)Fe2 O3 (s) + (3/2)H2 (g)Fe(s) + (3/2)H2 O(1) then this amount of reaction would be one mole of reaction and rH would be rH2 = (3/2)( -285.83 kJmol-1 ) (1/2)(-824.2 kJmol-1 ) = (- 428.7 + 412.1) kJ mol-1 = -16.6 kJ mol-1 = rH1 1/2 It shows that enthalpy is an extensive quantity. 3. When a chemical equation is reversed, the value of rH is reversed in sign. For example N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3 (g); rH = -91.8kJ mol-1

2NH3 (g) N2 (g) + 3H2 (g); rH = +91.8kJ mol-1 (e) Hesss Law of Constant Heat Summation We know that enthalpy is a state function, therefore the change in enthalpy is independent of the path between initial state (reactants) and final state (products). In other words, enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or in a series of steps. This may be stated as follows in the form of Hesss Law. If a reaction takes place in several steps then its standard reaction enthalpy is the sum of the standard enthalpies of the intermediate reactions into which the overall reaction may be divided at the same temperature. Let us understand the importance of this law with the help of an example. Consider the enthalpy change for the reaction C (graphite,s) + 1/2 O2 (g) CO (g);rH =? Although CO(g) is the major product, some CO2 gas is always produced in this reaction. Therefore, we cannot measure enthalpy change for the above reaction directly. However, if we can find some other reactions involving related species, it is possible to calculate the enthalpy change for the above reaction. Let us consider the following reactions: C (graphite,s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g); rH = -393.5 kJmol1 (i) CO (g) + 1/2 O2 (g) CO2 (g); rH = -283.0 kJmol1 (ii) We can combine the above two reactions in such a way so as to obtain the desired reaction. To get one mole of CO(g) on the right, we reverse equation (ii). In this, heat is absorbed instead of being released, so we change sign of rH value CO2 (g) CO (g) + 1/2 O2 (g); rH =+283.0 kJmol1 (iii) Adding equation (i) and (iii), we get the desired equation,

C (graphite,s) + + 1/2 O2 (g) CO (g); for which rH = ( -393.5 + 283.0) = 110.5 kJ mol1 In general, if enthalpy of an overall reaction AB along one route is rH and rH1 , rH2 ,rH3 .. representing enthalpies of reactions leading to same product, B along another route,then we have rH = rH1 + rH2 + rH3 (6.16) It can be represented as:

6.5 ENTHALPIES FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF REACTIONS It is convenient to give name to enthalpies specifying the types of reactions. (a) Standard enthalpy of combustion (symbol : c H ) Combustion reactions are exothermic in nature. These are important in industry, rocketry, and other walks of life. Standard enthalpy of combustion is defined as the enthalpy change per mole (or per unit amount) of a substance, when it undergoes combustion and all the reactants and products being in their standard states at the specified temperature. Cooking gas in cylinders contains mostly butane (C4 H10 ). During complete combustion of one mole of butane, 2658 kJ of heat is released. We can write the thermochemical reactions for this as: C4 H10 (g) + 13/2 O2 (g) 4CO2 (g) + 5H2 O(1); cH = -2658.0 kJ mol1 Similarly, combustion of glucose gives out 2802.0 kJ/mol of heat, for which the overall equation is : C6 H12 O6 (g) + 6O2 (g) 6CO2 (g) + 6H2 O(1);

cH = -2802.0 kJ mol1 Our body also generates energy from food by the same overall process as combustion, although the final products are produced after a series of complex bio-chemical reactions involving enzymes. Problem 6.8 The combustion of one mole of benzene takes place at 298 K and 1 atm. After combustion, CO2 (g) and H2 O (1) are produced and 3267.0 kJ of heat is liberated. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation, fH of benzene. Standard enthalpies of formation of CO2 (g) and H2 O(l) are -393.5 kJ mol1 and 285.83 kJ mol1 respectively. Solution The formation reaction of benezene is given by : 6C (graphite) + 3H2 g C6 H6 (l) ; fH = ? (i) The enthalpy of combustion of 1 mol of benzene is : C6 H6 (l) + 15/2 O2 6CO2 (g) + 3H2 O (l); cH = -3267kJ mol1 (ii) The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of CO2 (g) : C (graphite) + O2 (g) CO2 g ; fH = -393.5kJ mol1 (iii) The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of H2 O(l) is : H2 (g) + 1/2 O2 (g) H2 O (l); fH = -285.83kJ mol1 (iv) multiplying eqn. (iii) by 6 and eqn. (iv) by 3 we get: 6C (graphite) + 6O2 g 6CO2 g ; fH = -2361kJ mol1 3H2 (g) + 3/2 O2 (g) 3H2 O (l);

fH = -857.49kJ mol1 Summing up the above two equations : 6C (graphite) + 3H2 (g) + 15/2 O2 g 6CO2 (g) + 3H2 O(l); fH = 3218.49 kJ mol-1 (v ) Reversing equation (ii); 6CO2 (g) + 3H2 O(l) C6 H6 (l) + 15/2 O2 ; fH = 3267.0 kJ mol-1 (vi ) Adding equations (v) and (vi), we get 6C (graphite) + 3H2 (g) C6 H6 (l); fH = 48.51 kJ mol-1 (b) Enthalpy of atomization (symbol: a H ) Consider the following example of atomization of dihydrogen H2 (g) 2H(g); a H = 435.0 kJ mol-1 You can see that H atoms are formed by breaking HH bonds in dihydrogen. The enthalpy change in this process is known as enthalpy of atomization, a H. It is the enthalpy change on breaking one mole of bonds completely to obtain atoms in the gas phase. In case of diatomic molecules, like dihydrogen (given above), the enthalpy of atomization is also the bond dissociation enthalpy. The other examples of enthalpy of atomization can be CH4 (g) C(g) + 4H(g); a H = 1665 kJ mol-1 Note that the products are only atoms of C and H in gaseous phase. Now see the following reaction: Na(s) Na(g) ; a H = 108.4 kJ mol-1 In this case, the enthalpy of atomization is same as the enthalpy of sublimation.

(c) Bond Enthalpy (symbol: bondH) Chemical reactions involve the breaking and making of chemical bonds. Energy is required to break a bond and energy is released when a bond is formed. It is possible to relate heat of reaction to changes in energy associated with breaking and making of chemical bonds. With reference to the enthalpy changes associated with chemical bonds, two different terms are used in thermodynamics. (i) Bond dissociation enthalpy (ii) Mean bond enthalpy Let us discuss these terms with reference to diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Diatomic Molecules: Consider the following process in which the bonds in one mole of dihydrogen gas (H2 ) are broken: H2 (g) 2H(g) ; H-HH = 435.0 kJ mol-1 The enthalpy change involved in this process is the bond dissociation enthalpy of H-H bond. The bond dissociation enthalpy is the change in enthalpy when one mole of covalent bonds of a gaseous covalent compound is broken to form products in the gas phase. Note that it is the same as the enthalpy of atomization of dihydrogen. This is true for all diatomic molecules. For example: Cl2 (g) 2Cl(g) ; Cl-Cl H = 242 kJ mol-1 O(g) 2O(g) ; O=OH = 428 kJ mol-1 In the case of polyatomic molecules, bond dissociation enthalpy is different for different bonds within the same molecule. Polyatomic Molecules: Let us now consider a polyatomic molecule like methane, CH4 . The overall thermochemical equation for its atomization reaction is given below: CH4 (g) C(g) + 4H(g); a H = 1665 kJ mol-1 In methane, all the four C H bonds are identical in bond length and energy. However, the energies required to break the individual C H bonds in each successive step differ : CH4 (g)CH3 (g)+H(g); bond H = +427 kJ mol1 CH3 (g) CH2 (g)+ H(g); bond H = +439kJ mol1

CH2 (g) CH(g)+ H(g); bond H = +452kJ mol1 CH(g)C(g)+ H(g); bond H= +347kJ mol1 Therefore, CH4 (g) C(g) + 4H(g); a H = 1665kJ mol1 In such cases we use mean bond enthalpy of C H bond. For example in CH4 , C-HH is calculated as: C-HH = (a H) = (1665kJ mol1 ) = 416 kJ mol1 We find that mean CH bond enthalpy in methane is 416 kJ/mol. It has been found that mean CH bond enthalpies differ slightly from compound to compound, as in CH3 CH2 Cl,CH3 NO2 , etc, but it does not differ in a great deal*. Using Hesss law, bond enthalpies can be calculated. Bond enthalpy values of some single and multiple bonds are given in Table 6.3. The reaction enthalpies are very important quantities as these arise from the changes that accompany the breaking of old bonds and formation of the new bonds. We can predict enthalpy of a reaction in gas phase, if we know different bond enthalpies. The standard enthalpy of reaction, rH is related to bond enthalpies of the reactants and products in gas phase reactions as: rH = bond enthalpies reactants bond enthalpies products (6.17)** This relationship is particularly more useful when the required values of fH are not available. The net enthalpy change of a reaction is the amount of energy required to break all the bonds in the reactant molecules minus the amount of energy required to break all the bonds in the product molecules. Remember that this relationship is approximate and is valid when all substances (reactants and products) in the reaction are in gaseous state.

(d) Enthalpy of Solution (symbol : solH ) Enthalpy of solution of a substance is the enthalpy change when one mole of it dissolves in a specified amount of solvent. The enthalpy of solution at infinite dilution is the enthalpy change observed on dissolving the substance in an infinite amount of solvent when the interactions between the ions (or solute molecules) are negligible. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, the ions leave their ordered positions on the crystal lattice. These are now more free in solution. But solvation of these ions (hydration in

case solvent is water) also occurs at the same time. This is shown diagrammatically, for an ionic compound, AB (s)

The enthalpy of solution of AB(s), sol H, in water is, therefore, determined by the selective values of the lattice enthalpy, lattice H and enthalpy of hydration of ions, hyd H as sol H = lattice H + hyd H For most of the ionic compounds, sol H is positive and the dissociation process is endothermic. Therefore the solubility of most salts in water increases with rise of temperature. If the lattice enthalpy is very high, the dissolution of the compound may not take place at all. Why do many fluorides tend to be less soluble than the corresponding chlorides? Estimates of the magnitudes of enthalpy changes may be made by using tables of bond energies (enthalpies) and lattice energies (enthalpies). Lattice Enthalpy The lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound is the enthalpy change which occurs when one mole of an ionic compound dissociates into its ions in gaseous state. Na+Cl-(s) Na+(g) + Cl-(g) ; lattice H = +788 kJmol-1 Since it is impossible to determine lattice enthalpies directly by experiment, we use an indirect method where we construct an enthalpy diagram called a Born-Haber Cycle (Fig. 6.9).

4. Cl(g) + e1 (g) Cl-(g) electron gained by chlorine atoms. The electron gain enthalpy, eg H = -348.6 kJ mol1 . You have learnt about ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy in Unit 3. In fact, these terms have been taken from thermodynamics. Earlier terms, ionization energy and electron affinity were in practice in place of the above terms (see the box for justification). Ionization Energy and Electron Affinity Ionization energy and electron affinity are defined at absolute zero. At any other temperature, heat capacities for the reactants and the products have to be taken into account. Enthalpies of reactions for M(g) M+(g) + e- (for ionization) M(g) + e- M-(g) (for electron gain) at temperature, T is

The value of Cp for each species in the above reaction is 5/2 R (CV = 3/2R) So,rCp = + 5/2 R (for ionization) rCp = 5/2 R (for electron gain) Therefore, rH (ionization enthalpy) = E0 (ionization energy) + 5/2 RT rH (electron gain enthalpy) = A( electron affinity) 5/2 RT 5. Na+ (g) + Cl (g) Na+Cl (s) The sequence of steps is shown in Fig. 6.9, and is known as a Born-Haber cycle. The importance of the cycle is that, the sum of the enthalpy changes round a cycle is zero.

Now we use the value of lattice enthalpy to calculate enthalpy of solution from the expression: sol H = lattice H + hyd H For one mole of NaCl(s), lattice enthalpy = + 788 kJ mol-1 and hyd H = 784 kJ mol-1 ( from the literature) sol H = + 788 kJ mol-1 784 kJ mol-1 = + 4 kJ mol-1 The dissolution of NaCl(s) is accompanied by very little heat change. 6.6 SPONTANEITY The first law of thermodynamics tells us about the relationship between the heat absorbed and the work performed on or by a system. It puts no restrictions on the direction of heat flow. However, the flow of heat is unidirectional from higher temperature to lower temperature. In fact, all naturally occurring processes whether chemical or physical will tend to proceed spontaneously in one direction only. For example, a gas expanding to fill the available volume, burning carbon in dioxygen giving carbon dioxide. But heat will not flow from colder body to warmer body on its own, the gas in a container will not spontaneously contract into one corner or carbon dioxide will not form carbon and dioxygen spontaneously. These and many other spontaneously occurring changes show unidirectional change. We may ask what is the driving force of spontaneously occurring changes ? What determines the direction of a spontaneous change ? In this section, we shall establish some criterion for these processes whether these will take place or not. Let us first understand what do we mean by spontaneous reaction or change ? You may think by your common observation that spontaneous reaction is one which occurs immediately when contact is made between the reactants. Take the case of combination of hydrogen and oxygen. These gases may be mixed at room temperature and left for many years without observing any perceptible change. Although the reaction is taking place between them, it is at an extremely slow rate. It is still called spontaneous reaction. So spontaneity means having the potential to proceed without the assistance of external agency. However, it does not tell about the rate of the reaction or process. Another aspect of spontaneous reaction or process, as we see is that these cannot reverse their direction on their own. We may summarise it as follows:

A spontaneous process is an irreversible process and may only be reversed by some external agency. (a) Is decrease in enthalpy a criterion for spontaneity ? If we examine the phenomenon like flow of water down hill or fall of a stone on to the ground, we find that there is a net decrease in potential energy in the direction of change. By analogy, we may be tempted to state that a chemical reaction is spontaneous in a given direction, because decrease in energy has taken place, as in the case of exothermic reactions. For example: 1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 H2 (g) = NH3 (g) ; rH = 46.1 kJ mol-1 1/2 H2 (g) + 1/2 Cl2 (g) = HCl (g) ; rH = 92.32 kJ mol-1 H2 (g) + 1/2 O2 (g) H2 O(l) ; rH = -285.8 kJ mol-1 The decrease in enthalpy in passing from reactants to products may be shown for any exothermic reaction on an enthalpy diagram as shown in Fig. 6.10(a).

Thus, the postulate that driving force for a chemical reaction may be due to decrease in energy sounds reasonable as the basis of evidence so far ! Now let us examine the following reactions: 1/2 N2 (g) + O2 (g) NO2 (g); rH= +33.2 kJ mol-1

C(graphite, s) + 2 S(l) CS2 (l); rH = +128.5 kJ mol-1 These reactions though endothermic, are spontaneous. The increase in enthalpy may be represented on an enthalpy diagram as shown in Fig. 6.10(b).

it becomes obvious that while decrease in enthalpy may be a contributory factor for spontaneity, but it is not true for all cases. (b) Entropy and spontaneity Then, what drives the spontaneous process in a given direction ? Let us examine such a case in which H = 0 i.e., there is no change in enthalpy, but still the process is spontaneous. Let us consider diffusion of two gases into each other in a closed container which is The two gases, say, gas A and gas B are represented by black dots and white dots respectively and separated by a movable partition [Fig. 6.11 (a)]. When the partition is withdrawn [Fig.6.11( b)], the gases begin to diffuse into each other and after a period of time, diffusion will be complete.

Let us examine the process. Before partition, if we were to pick up the gas molecules from left container, we would be sure that these will be molecules of gas A and similarly if we were to pick up the gas molecules from right container, we would be sure that these will be molecules of gas B. But, if we were to pick up molecules from container when partition is removed, we are not sure whether the molecules picked are of gas A or gas B. We say that the system has become less predictable or more chaotic. We may now formulate another postulate: in an isolated system, there is always a tendency for the systems energy to become more disordered or chaotic and this could be a criterion for spontaneous change ! this point, we introduce another thermodynamic function, entropy denoted as S. The above mentioned disorder is the manifestation of entropy. To form a mental picture, one can think of entropy as a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in the system. The greater the disorder in an isolated system, the higher is the entropy. As far as a chemical reaction is concerned, this entropy change can be attributed to rearrangement of atoms or ions from one pattern in the eactants to another (in the products). If the structure of the products is very much disordered than that of the reactants, there will be a resultant increase in entropy. The change in entropy accompanying a chemical reaction may be estimated qualitatively by a consideration of the structures of the species taking part in the reaction. Decrease of

regularity in structure would mean increase in entropy. For a given substance, the crystalline solid state is the state of lowest entropy (most ordered), The gaseous state is state of highest entropy. Now let us try to quantify entropy. One way to calculate the degree of disorder or chaotic distribution of energy among molecules would be through statistical method which is beyond the scope of this treatment. Other way would be to relate this process to the heat involved in a process which would make entropy a thermodynamic concept. Entropy, like any other thermodynamic property such as internal energy U and enthalpy H is a state function and S is independent of path. Whenever heat is added to the system, it increases molecular motions causing increased randomness in the system. Thus heat (q) has randomising influence on the system. Can we then equate S with q ? Wait ! Experience suggests us that the distribution of heat also depends on the temperature at which heat is added to the system. A system at higher temperature has greater randomness in it than one at lower temperature. Thus, temperature is the measure of average chaotic motion of particles in the system. Heat added to a system at lower temperature causes greater randomness than when the same quantity of heat is added to it at higher temperature. This suggests that the entropy change is inversely proportional to the temperature. S is related with q and T for a reversible reaction as : S = qrev/T -(6.18) The total entropy change ( Stotal ) for the system and surroundings of a spontaneous process is given by surrtotal > 0 (6.19) When a system is in equilibrium, the entropy is maximum, and the change in entropy, S = 0. We can say that entropy for a spontaneous process increases till it reaches maximum and at equilibrium the change in entropy is zero. Since entropy is a state property, we can calculate the change in entropy of a reversible process by Ssys = qsys,rev /T We find that both for reversible and irreversible expansion for an ideal gas, under isothermal conditions, U = 0, but Stotal i.e., Ssys + Ssurr is not zero for irreversible process. Thus, U does not discriminate between reversible and irreversible process, whereas S does. Problem 6.9 Predict in which of the following, entropy increases/decreases : (i) A liquid crystallizes into a solid. (ii) Temperature of a crystalline solid is raised from 0 K to 115 K.
f ile:///C:/Users/MANSOOR/Desktop/6 Thermody namics Textbooks.htm 44/86

(iii) 2NaHCO3 (s) Na2 CO3 (s) + CO2 (g) + H2 O (g) (iv) H2 g 2H g Solution (i) After freezing, the molecules attain an ordered state and therefore, entropy decreases. (ii) At 0 K, the contituent particles are static and entropy is minimum. If temperature is raised to 115 K, these begin to move and oscillate about their equilibrium positions in the lattice and system becomes more disordered, therefore entropy increases. (iii) Reactant, NaHCO3 is a solid and it has low entropy. Among products there are one solid and two gases. Therefore, the products represent a condition of higher entropy. (iv) Here one molecule gives two atoms i.e., number of particles increases leading to more disordered state. Two moles of H atoms have higher entropy than one mole of dihydrogen molecule. Problem 6.10 For oxidation of iron, 4Fe (s) +3O2 (g) 2Fe2 O3 (s) entropy change is 549.4 JK-1 mol-1 at 298 K. Inspite of negative entropy change of this reaction, why is the reaction spontaneous? (rH for this reaction is -1648 103 J mol-1 ) Solution One decides the spontaneity of a reaction by considering Stotal (Ssys + Ssurr . For calculating Ssurr, we have to consider the heat absorbed by the surroundings which is equal to -rH. At temperature T, entropy change of the surroundings is Ssurr = -(rH/T)(at constant pressure) = (-1648 x 103 Jmol-1 )/298 K = 5530 JK-1 mol-1 Thus, total entropy change for this reaction rStotal = 5530JK-1 mol-1 + (-549.4JK-1 mol-1 )=4980.6JK-1 mol-1 This shows that the above reaction is spontaneous.

(c) Gibbs energy and spontaneity We have seen that for a system, it is the total entropy change, Stotal which decides the spontaneity of the process. But most of the chemical reactions fall into the category of either closed systems or open systems. Therefore, for most of the chemical reactions there are changes in both enthalpy and entropy. It is clear from the discussion in previous sections that neither decrease in enthalpy nor increase in entropy alone can determine the direction of spontaneous change for these systems. For this purpose, we define a new thermodynamic function the Gibbs energy or Gibbs function, G, as G = H TS -(6.20) Gibbs function, G is an extensive property and a state function. The change in Gibbs energy for the system, Gsys can be written as Gsys = Hsys T Gsys SsysT At constant temperature, T = 0 Gsys = Hsys TSsys Usually the subscript system is dropped and we simply write this equation as G = H TS -(6.21) Thus, Gibbs energy change = enthalpy change temperature x entropy change, and is referred to as the Gibbs equation, one of the most important equations in chemistry. Here, we have considered both terms together for spontaneity: energy (in terms of H) and entropy (S, a measure of disorder) as indicated earlier. Dimensionally if we analyse, we find that G has units of energy because, both H and the TS are energy terms, since TS = (K) (J/K) = J. Now let us consider how G is related to reaction spontaneity. We know, Stotal = Ssys + Ssurr If the system is in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding, then the temperature of the surrounding is same as that of the system. Also, increase in enthalpy of the surrounding is equal to decrease in the enthalpy of the system.

Therefore, entropy change of surroundings, Ssurr = Hsurr/T = -Hsurr/T Stotal = Ssys + (-Hsys/T) Rearranging the above equation: TStotal = TSsys Hsys For spontanious process, Stotal > 0 , so TSsys Hsys > 0 (Hsys TSsys ) > 0 Using equation 6.21, the above equation can be written as G > 0 G = H T S < 0 -(6.22) Hsys is the enthalpy change of a reaction, TSsys is the energy which is not available to do useful work. So G is the net energy available to do useful work and is thus a measure of the free energy. For this reason, it is also known as the free energy of the reaction. G gives a criteria for spontaneity at constant pressure and temperature. (i) If G is negative (< 0), the process is spontaneous. (ii) If G is positive (> 0), the process is non spontaneous. Note : If a reaction has a positive enthalpy change and positive entropy change, it can be spontaneous when TS is large enough to outweigh H. This can happen in two ways; (a) The positive entropy change of the system can be small in which case T must be large. (b) The positive entropy change of the system can be large, in which case T may be small. The former is one of the reasons why reactions are often carried out at high temperature.

6.7 GIBBS ENERGY CHANGE AND EQUILIBRIUM We have seen how a knowledge of the sign and magnitude of the free energy change of a chemical reaction allows: (i) Prediction of the spontaneity of the chemical reaction. (ii) Prediction of the useful work that could be extracted from it. So far we have considered free energy changes in irreversible reactions. Let us now examine the free energy changes in reversible reactions. Reversible under strict thermodynamic sense is a special way of carrying out a process such that system is at all times in perfect equilibrium with its surroundings. When applied to a chemical reaction, the term reversible indicates that a given reaction can proceed in either direction simultaneously, so that a dynamic equilibrium is set up. This means that the reactions in both the directions should proceed with a decrease in free energy, which seems impossible. It is possible only if at equilibrium the free energy of the system is minimum. If it is not, the system would spontaneously change to configuration of lower free energy. So, the criterion for equilibrium

Gibbs energy for a reaction in which all reactants and products are in standard state, rG0 is related to the equilibrium constant of the reaction as follows: 0 = rG + RT ln K

or rG = RT ln K or rG = 2.303 RT log K (6.23) We also know that rG = rH TrS = -RT ln K (6.24) For strongly endothermic reactions, the value of rH may be large and positive. In such a case, value of K will be much smaller than 1 and the reaction is unlikely to form much product. In case of exothermic reactions, rH is large and negative, and rG is likely to be large and negative too. In such cases, K will be much larger than 1. We may expect strongly exothermic reactions to have a large K, and hence can go to near completion. rG also depends upon rS, if the changes in the entropy of reaction is also taken into account, the value of K or extent of chemical reaction will also be affected, depending upon whether rS is positive or negative.

* The term low temperature and high temperature are relative. For a particular reaction, high temperature could even mean room temperature.

Using equation (6.24), (i) It is possible to obtain an estimate of GTheta; from the measurement of HTheta; and STheta;, and then calculate K at any temperature for economic yields of the products. (ii) If K is measured directly in the laboratory, value of GTheta; at any other temperature can be calculated. Problem 6.11 Calculate rGTheta; for conversion of oxygen to ozone, 3/2 O2 (g) O3 (g) at 298 K. if Kp for this conversion is 2.47 x 1029 . Solution We know rGTheta; = 2.303 RT log Kp and R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1

Standard Gibbs energy change, rGTheta; at the given temperature is -13.6 kJ mol-1 . Solution We know, log K = rGTheta;/2.303 RT = (13.6 x 103 J mol-1 )/2.303 (8.314 JK-1 mol-1 ) (298K) = 2.38 Hence K = antilog 2.38 = 2.4 x 102 . Problem 6.13 At 60C, dinitrogen tetroxide is fifty percent dissociated. Calculate the standard free energy change at this temperature and at one atmosphere. Solution

If N2 O4 is 50% dissociated, the mole fraction of both the substances is given by x N2 O4 = (1 0.5)/(1- 0.5); x NO2 = (2 x 0.5)/(1 + 0.5) pN2 O4 = (0.5/1.5) x 1atm, pNO2 = (1/1.5) x 1 atm. The equilibrium constant Kp is given by Kp = (pNO2 )2 /pN2 O4 = 1.5/(1.5)2 (0.5) = 1.33 atm. Since rGTheta; = -RT ln Kp rGTheta; = (- 8.314 JK-1 mol-1 ) x (333 K) x (2.303) x (0.1239) = 763.8 kJ mol-1

SUMMARY Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical or physical processes and enables us to study these changes quantitatively and to make useful predictions. For these purposes, we divide the universe into the system and the surroundings. Chemical or physical processes lead to evolution or absorption of heat (q), part of which may be converted into work (w). These quantities are related through the first law of thermodynamics via U = q + w. U, change in internal energy, depends on initial and final states only and is a state function, whereas q and w depend on the path and are not the state functions. We follow sign conventions of q and w by giving the positive sign to these quantities when these are added to the system. We can measure the transfer of heat from one system to another which causes the change in temperature. The magnitude of rise in temperature depends on the heat capacity (C) of a substance. Therefore, heat absorbed or evolved is q = CT. Work can be measured by w = pexV, in case of expansion of gases. Under reversible process, we can put pex = p for infinitesimal changes in the volume making wrev = p dV. In this condition, we can use gas equation, pV = nRT. At constant volume, w = 0, then U = qV , heat transfer at constant volume. But in study of chemical reactions, we usually have constant pressure. We define another state function enthalpy. Enthalpy change, H = U + ng RT, can be found directly from the heat changes at constant pressure, H = qp . There are varieties of enthalpy changes. Changes of phase such as melting, vaporization and sublimation usually occur at constant temperature and can be characterized by enthalpy changes which are always positive. Enthalpy of formation, combustion and other enthalpy changes can be calculated using Hesss law. Enthalpy change for chemical reactions can be determined by

and in gaseous state by rH = bond enthalpies of the reactants bond enthalpies of the products First law of thermodynamics does not guide us about the direction of chemical reactions i.e., what is the driving force of a chemica reaction. For isolated systems, U = 0. We define another state function, S, entropy for this purpose. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness. For a spontaneous change, total entropy change is positive. Therefore, for an isolated system, U = 0, S > 0, so entropy change distinguishes a spontaneous change, while energy change does not. Entropy changes can be measured by the equation S = qrev/T for a reversible process. qrev/T is independent of path. Chemical reactions are generally

carried at constant pressure, so we define another state function Gibbs energy, G, which is related to entropy and enthalpy changes of the system by the equation: rG = rH T rS For a spontaneous change, Gsys < 0 and at equilibrium, Gsys = 0. Standard Gibbs energy change is related to equilibrium constant by rG = RT ln K. K can be calculated from this equation, if we know rGTheta; which can be found from rG = rH TrS . Temperature is an important factor in the equation. Many reactions which are non-spontaneous at low temperature, are made spontaneous at high temperature for systems having positive entropy of reaction. EXERCISES 6.1 Choose the correct answer. A thermodynamic state function is a quantity (i) used to determine heat changes (ii) whose value is independent of path (iii) used to determine pressure volume work (iv) whose value depends on temperature only. 6.2 For the process to occur under adiabatic conditions, the correct condition is: (i) T = 0 (ii) p = 0 (iii) q = 0 (iv) w = 0 6.3 The enthalpies of all elements in their standard states are: (i) unity (ii) zero (iii) < 0 (iv) different for each element 6.4 U0of combustion of methane is X kJ mol-1 .

MOST of the reactions are carried out at atmospheric pressure, hence heat changes noted for these reactions are enthalpy changes. Enthalpy changes are directly related to the temperature changes by the relation: H = qp = mCp T = VdCp T (1) where V = Volume of the solution. d = Density of the solution Cp = Heat capacity T = Change in temperature Measurement of heat changes are carried out in vessels called calorimeters.

for measuring thermochemical changes because metals may react with substances. Stainless steel or gold plated copper calorimeters may be used. During measurement of heat changes, calorimeter, thermometer and stirrer also absorb some heat; this amount of heat should also be known. It is called calorimeter constant. In the case of a glass vessel, (e.g. beaker) calorimeter constant for that part is found, which is actually in contact with the reaction mixture. This is so because when thermal conductivity of the material of calorimeter is low, only the area of the calorimeter in contact with the liquid absorbs maximum heat. Method of mixtures is used to determine the calorimeter constant. To determine calorimeter constant, known volume of hot water at a specified temperature is added to known volume of water contained in the calorimeter at room temperature. Since energy is conserved, the heat taken by calorimeter and cold water should be equal to heat given by hot water. Thus, we can write the following equation : H1 + H2 Enthalpy change of cold water = H3 (2) Enthalpy change of hot water

Enthalpy change of calorimeter, stirrer and thermometer

Let tc, th and tm be temperatures of cold water, hot water and mixture respectively. Then, in view of the definition of enthalpy change given in equation (1) we can rewrite equation (2) as m1 Cp 1 (tm tc) + m2 Cp (tm tc) + m3 Cp (tm th ) = 0 (3) where m1 , m2 and m3 are masses of calorimeter, cold water and hot water respectively and Cp 1 and Cp are heat capacities of calorimeter and water respectively. Since, thermal conductivity of glass is low, only that part of the beaker gains maximum heat which comes in contact with water therefore, we can calculate only effective m1 Cp 1 (i.e. calorimeter constant, W). On rewriting equation (3) we get W (tm tc) + m2 Cp (tm tc) + m3 Cp (tm th ) = 0 W =(m2 Cp (tm tc) + m3 Cp (tm th ))/(tm tc) (4) but mCp = VdCp , where V, d and Cp are volume, density and heat capacity of water respectively. By definition, heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of substance by 1 K (or 1C). The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 K (or 1C) is 4.184 Joules. This means that for 1 g water for rise of 1 Kelven temperature VdCp = 4.184 JK1 . Therefore, product of density and heat capacity can be taken as 4.184 J.mL1 .K1 . Thus, equation (4) can be written as : W = (4.184) [Vc(tm tc) + Vh (tm th ) J K1 / (tm tc) ... (5)

where Vc = volume of cold water Vh = volume of hot water Technique for measuring the enthalpy changes are given in the following experiments. EXPERIMENT 3.1 Aim To determine the enthalpy of dissolution of copper sulphate/potassium nitrate. Theory In thermochemical measurements generally aqueous solutions are mixed therefore, water in the reaction medium and the temperature changes result due to the chemical reactions taking place in solution. According to law of conservation of energy, the sum of enthalpy changes taking place in the calorimeter (loss and gain of energy) must be zero. Thus, we can write the following equation-

(H1 ) Heat gained by calorimeter, thermometer and stirrer

+ (H2 ) Enthalpy change of solution/water in calorimeter

+ (H3 ) Enthalpy change of added solution/ water in calorimeter

+ (H4 ) Enthalpy change of reaction

= 0

..(6) In these reactions we take the product of density and heat capacity of solutions, dCp, to be 4.184 J.mL1 .K1 , nearly the same as that of pure water.* Solution formation often accompanies heat changes. Enthalpy of solution is the amount of heat liberated or absorbed when one mole of a solute (solid/liquid) is dissolved in such a large quantity of solvent (usually water) that further dilution does not make any heat changes.

Procedure A. Determination of Calorimeter constant of calorimeter (Beaker) (i) Take 100 mL of water in a 250 mL beaker marked A. (ii) Place this beaker on a wooden block kept in a larger beaker of capacity 500 mL (Fig. 3.1). (iii) Pack the empty space between the large and the small beaker with cotton wool. Cover the beaker with a cardboard. Insert thermometer and stirrer in the beaker through it. * Density of the solutions is 4 to 6% higher than that of pure water and heat capacity is about 4 to 8% less than pure water so the product of density and heat capacity (dCp ) is nearly the same as the product of pure water. (iv) Record the temperature of water. Let this temperature be tcC. (v) In another beaker of 250 mL capacity marked B take 100 mL of hot water (50-60C). (vi) Note the exact temperature of hot water. Let this temperature be thC. (vii) Lift the card board and pour the hot water contained in beaker B into beaker A. Stir the mixed water and note the temperature. Let this temperature be tm C. (viii) Calculate the calorimeter constant of the beaker by using the expression (5) given above. (Remember the three temperatures are in the order th > tm >tc). B. Determination of Enthalpy of Dissolution (i) Take 100 mL of distilled water in the beaker of which calorimeter constant has been determined and place it on a wooden block kept in a larger beaker of capacity 500 mL (Fig. 3.1).

of 1 g copper sulphate Since 1 mol of copper sulphate weighs 249.5 g. Therefore, sol H of CuSO4 .5H2 O = 249.5 ([W (t'2 - t'1 ) + (100 + W 1 ) (t'2 t'1 )]x4.184 J mol1 )/W 1 Result Enthalpy change in the dissolution of copper sulphate/potassium nitrate is _______ Jmol1 .

(v) How will the solubility of copper sulphate and potassium nitrate be affected on increasing the temperature? Explain. EXPERIMENT 3.2 Aim To determine the enthalpy of neutralisation of a strong acid (HCl) with a strong base (NaOH). Theory A neutralisation reaction involves the combination of H+(aq) ions furnished by an acid and OH (aq) ions furnished by a base, evidently leading to the formation of H2 O (l). Since the reaction envisages bond formation, therefore, this reaction is always exothermic. Enthalpy of neutralisation is defined as the amount of heat liberated when 1mol of H+ ions furnished by acid combine with 1 mole of OH ions furnished by base to form water. Thus:

H+(aq) + OH (aq) H2 O (l), neut H is negative (Acid) (Base) where neut H is known as enthalpy of neutralisation. If both the acid and the base are strong then for the formation of 1 mol H2 O (l), always a fixed amount of heat, viz, 57 kJ mol1 is liberated. If any one of the acid or the base is weak or if both of these are weak, then some of the heat liberated is used for the ionisation of the acid or base or both of them (as the case may be) and the amount of heat liberated is less than 57 kJ mol1 . Material Required

Procedure A. Determination of calorimeter constant This may be determined by following the procedure, as detailed in experiment 3.1. B. Determination of Enthalpy of Neutralisation (i) Take 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl solution in the calorimeter (beaker) and cover it with cardboard. In another beaker of 250 mL capacity take 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH solution. (ii) Note down the temperature of both the solutions, which is likely to be the same. Let it be t1 C. (iii) Pour 100 mL 1 M NaOH solution into the calorimeter containing 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl solution. (v) Mix the solutions by stirring and note the final temperature of the mixture. Let it be t2 C. Calculate the enthalpy of neutralisation as follows: (i) Note the rise in temperature of the mixture, which in this case is (t2 -t1 ) C. (ii) Calculate the total amount of heat produced during the neutralisation process, using the following expression Heat evolved = (100 + 100 + W) (t2 t1 ) 4.18 J (where W, is the calorimeter constant) (iii) Finally calculate the heat evolved when 1000 mL of 1M HCl is allowed to neutralise 1000

mL of 1M NaOH. This quantity would be ten times the quantity obtained in step (ii). (iv) Express the quantity of heat evolved in kJ mol1 . Result Enthalpy change in the neutralisation of hydrochloric acid solution with sodium hydroxide solution _______ kJmol1 . Precautions (a) Record the temperature carefully with the help of a thermometer graduated up to 0.1C. (b) Measure the volume of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution to be taken for the experiment carefully. (c) Proper insulation should be made between the two beakers. (d) Avoid unnecessary and excessive stirring to prevent heating due to friction. Discussion Questions (i) Why do we calculate the heat evolved for the neutralisation of 1000 mL of a (1 M) acid by 1000 mL of a (1 M) monoacidic base? (ii) In comparison to heat evolved in neutralisation reaction between a strong acid and a strong base. Why is lesser quantity of heat evolved when any one of the acid or the base is weak and still less when both are weak?

(iii) Why does the reaction: direction with rise in temperature of the system? EXPERIMENT 3.3 Aim

To determine the enthalpy change for the interaction between acetone and chloroform (hydrogen bond formation). Theory On mixing, liquid pairs show departure from ideal behaviour. Acetone and chloroform form nonideal liquid pair system, which shows a negative deviation from Raoults law. This negative deviation from Raoults law implies that the two components are strongly held together in liquid state on mixing due to hydrogen bonding. On the other hand in the pure state, only weak Van der waals forces hold molecules of chloroform as well as acetone. The hydrogen bonding between the molecules of acetone and chloroform is depicted as follows:

In this process enthalpy change takes place due to hydrogen bond formation. The enthalpy change is an extensive thermodynamic property, therefore, the heat evolved from the system depends upon the amount of the liquid components mixed. It is for this reason that the heat change is reported for specified amount. Therefore, enthalpy change during mixing of 1 mol chloroform with 1 mol acetone is reported.

instead of a beaker, boiling tube may be taken and 8 mL of cold and 7.5 mL of hot water can be used instead of 100 mL. B. Determination of Enthalpy Change on Mixing Chloroform and Acetone* (i) Transfer the volume of chloroform equivalent to 0.1 mol ( 8.14 mL) after measuring from a measuring cylinder into the insulated boiling tube as shown in Fig. 3.2. Let the mass of chloroform taken be m1 grams.

(ii) Record the temperature of chloroform. Let it be t1 C. (iii) Transfer the volume of acetone equivalent to 0.1 mol of acetone ( 7.34 mL) in a clean measuring cylinder. Let its mass be m2 grams. (iv) Record the temperature of acetone. Let it be t2 C. (v) Pour acetone from the measuring cylinder into the chloroform contained in the insulated boiling tube. (vi) Stir gently the mixture of chloroform and acetone carefully with the help of a stirrer. (vii) Record the temperature of the mixture of chloroform and acetone. Let it be t3 C. *Volume of one mole of CHCl3 = Molar mass of CHCl3 /Density of CHCl3 Volume of 0.1 mole = 1/10 th of the above volume (Similarly you can calculate the volume of 0.1 mole of acetone). Density of chloroform= 1.47 g /mL
f ile:///C:/Users/MANSOOR/Desktop/6 Thermody namics Textbooks.htm 84/86

Molar mass of chloroform = 119.5 g 1.47 g = 1 mL volume 119.5 g = 119.5/1.47 mL 1 mole = 81.4 mL 0.1 mole = 8.14 mL Density of acetone = 0.79 g /mL Molar mass of acetone = 58.0 0.79 g = 1 mL 58 g = 58/0.79 mL 1 mole = 73.4 mL 0.1 mole = 7.34 mL Total volume of acetone and chloroform = 8.14 +7.34 = 15.48 mL Calculate the enthalpy of interaction as follows : (i) Let the room temperature be tC, then heat gained by calorimeter (boiling tube) is W (t3 t), where W is the calorimeter constant, i.e. boiling tube in this experiment. (ii) Note the value of specific heat of chloroform from literature. Let it be q1 . Then heat gained by chloroform = m1 x q1 (t3 t1 ). (iii) Note the value of the specific heat for acetone from literature. Let it be q2 . Thus heat gained by acetone = m2 x q2 (t3 t2 ). (iv) Total heat gained by all the three components, i.e. boiling tube, chloroform and acetone = {W(t3 t1 ) + m1 q1 (t3 t1 ) + m2 q2 (t3 t2 )}. This in fact is the enthalpy change of interaction, on mixing 0.1 mol chloroform with 0.1 mol acetone. The negative sign simply implies that the mixing of chloroform and acetone is an exothermic process. Note : Here, care should be taken that the total volume of acetone and chloroform is equal to the volume of water for which water equivalent of the calorimeter has been calculated. Precautions (a) Measure chloroform and acetone carefully. (b) Record the temperature very carefully with a thermometer graduated up to 0.1C. Discussion Questions (i) Chloroform and acetone do not form an ideal liquid pair, whereas acetone and benzene do form. Why? (ii) Why does liquid pair of ethanol and water show positive deviation from Raoults law?

(iii) Give two examples of each of the liquid pairs for which Mixing H is negative and positive respectively.
