Equal masses of hot water and coldwater separated by a thin metal wall in an insulated box.
H2O molecules in hot water have much greater random motions than the H2O molecules in cold water.
The water samples have the same temperature (50. C) and have the same random motions.
Units of Energy
One calorie = amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1C
kcal = energy needed to raise the temperature of 1000 g of water 1C
joule
4.184 J = 1 cal
Example #1:
Calculate the amount of heat energy (in joules) needed to raise the temperature of 7.40 g of water from 29.0C to 46.0C.
Example #1 (cont.)
Specific heat of water = 4.184 Mass = 7.40 g
J g C
Q = s m T
J Heat 4.184 7.40g 17.0C 526 J g C
Example #3
When 1 mole of methane (CH4) is burned at constant pressure, 890 kJ of energy is released as heat. Write the equation for this reaction. CH4 + 2O2 2H2O + CO2
Example #4
Calculate the heat (q) for a process in which a 5.8 gram sample of methane is burned at constant pressure.
qp = H
1 mol = - 890 kJ = H 5.8 g = 0.36 moles 0.36 moles x -890kJ/mol = -320 kJ EXOTHERMIC
Entropy
Entropy (S) is a measure of disorder or randomness.
As a system becomes more disordered, S >0
Entropy
Consider melting ice:
Endothermic reaction, so no energy spread Entropy increases
Increase in entropy is greater than the energy required for melting Process is spontaneous
Hesss Law
Hesss Law
Hesss law: if a reaction is carried out in a number of steps, H for the overall reaction is the sum of H for each individual step. For example: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) H = -802 kJ 2H2O(g) 2H2O(l) H= - 88 kJ CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) H = -890 kJ
