Energy & Chemical Reactions Chapter 6 The Nature of Energy Chemical reactions involve energy changes • Kinetic Energy - energy of motion – – – – macroscale - mechanical energy nanoscale - thermal energy movement of electrons through conductor - electrical energy Ek = (1/2) mv2 • Potential Energy - stored energy – object held above surface of earth - gravitational energy – energy of charged particles - electrostatic energy – energy of attraction or repulsion among electrons and nuclei chemical potential energy The Nature of Energy Energy Units • SI unit - joule (J) – amount of energy required to move 2 kg mass at speed of 1 m/s – often use kilojoule (kJ) - 1 kJ = 1000 J • calorie (cal) – amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1°C – 1 cal = 4.184 J (exactly) – nutritional values given in kilocalories (kcal) First Law of Thermodynamics The First Law of Thermodynamics says that energy is conserved. So energy that is lost by the system must be gained by the surrounding and vice versa. • Internal Energy – – – – sum of all kinetic and potential energy components of the system Einitial → Efinal ΔE = Efinal - Einitial not possible to know the energy of a system but easy to measure energy changes First Law of Thermodynamics • ΔE and heat and work – internal energy changes if system loses or gains heat or if it does work or has work done on it – ΔE = q + w – sign convention to keep track of heat (q > 0) system work (w > 0) – both heat added to system and work done on system increase internal energy First Law of Thermodynamics First Law of Thermodynamics Divide the universe into two parts • system - what we are studying • surroundings - everything else ∆E > 0 ∆E < 0 system gained energy from surroundings system lost energy to surroundings Work and Heat Energy can be transferred in the form of work, heat or a combination of the two. Work is done against a force over a certain distance: w=Fxd Heat is energy transferred from hotter object to colder one. Energy - capacity to do work or to transfer heat Example 1 Calculate the change in the internal energy of the system for a process in which the system absorbs 140 J or heat from the surroundings and does 85 J of work on the surroundings. q = + 140 J w = -85 J ∆E = q + w ∆E = 140 J - 85 J = + 55 J Heat Capacity • determines the temperature change experienced by an object when it absorbs energy • amount of heat required to raise temperature by 1 degree • the larger the heat capacity the greater the amount of heat needed to raise T Heat Capacity • molar heat capacity - heat capacity of one mole of substance • specific heat capacity - heat capacity of one gram of substance quantity of heat transferred q = c= (grams of substance) x (temp. change) m "T ! Example 2 How much heat is needed to warm 300 g of water from 20ºC to 95ºC? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g ºC. q = (4.18 J/g ºC)(300 g)(95ºC - 20ºC) q = 94050 J = 94 kJ Calorimetry • • • • assume not heat loss or gain through calorimeter any heat lost by rxn (or substance) is gained by solution any heat gained by rxn (or substance) is lost by solution qsol’n = –qrxn OR qsol’n = –qmetal csol’n x msol’n x ∆Tsol’n = –cmetal x mmetal x ∆Tmetal Example 3 When 50.0 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3 and 50.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl are mixed in a calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture increases from 22.30ºC to 23.11 ºC. The temperature increase is caused by this reaction: AgNO3 (aq) + HCl (aq) → AgCl (s) + HNO3 (aq) Calculate the heat transferred in this reaction, assuming that the combined solution has a mass of 100.0g and a specific heat of 4.18 J/g ºC. Example 3 qsol’n = (4.18 J/g ºC)(100.0 g)(23.11 ºC - 22.30 ºC) qsol’n = 338.58 J qrxn = –qsol’n = –338.58 J = –339 J
