I-The basic concepts

In thermodynamics, the universe is divided into three parts:

(i) the system,

(ii) Its surrounding and

(iii) the boundary

Is a three-dimensional region of

physical space in which we have

a special interest or in which we

have to focus our attention.

In other words, the system is a

quantity of matter wich has a

fixed mass and identity (e.g.,

reaction vessel, an engine, an

electrochemical cell, a …).

In thermodynamics, the universe is divided into three

parts:

(i) The system,

biological cell

The gas in the cylinder is

considered to be the system.

In thermodynamics, the universe is divided into three

parts:

(ii) The surrounding

The surroundings comprise

the region outside the

system (everything external

to the system), and where

we make our

measurements.

The gas in the cylinder is considered to be the system.

The system is separated from the surroundings by the

system boundaries. The boundary may (and usually

does) coincide with real physical surfaces: the interface

between two phases, the inner or outer surface of the

wall of a flask or other vessel, and so on.

In thermodynamics, the universe is divided into three

parts:

(iii) The boundary

Not all boundaries permit the

transfer of energy even though

there is a temperature difference

between the system and its

surroundings.

A Boundary that allows the transfer

of energy as heat between the

system and its surrounding is called

a diathermic boundary; and the

one that do not allow heat transfer

are called adiabatic boundary.

parts:

Type of thermodynamics systems

The type of the system depends on the characteristics of

the boundary:

2.1.3. Energy

The energy of a system is its capacity to do work.

When work is done on an otherwise isolated system

(e.g. by compressing a gas), the capacity of the system

to do work is increased; in other words, the energy of

the system is increased.

When the system does work (e.g. when the piston

moves out), the energy of the system is reduced and it

can do less work than before..

2.1.4. Molecular interpretation of heat and work

In molecular terms, heating is the

transfer of energy that makes use

of disorderly molecular motion in

the surroundings => Thermal

motion.

In molecular terms, work is the

transfer of energy that makes use

of organized motion in the

surroundings => Uniform motion.

2. 2. The internal energy

2.2.1. The internal energy

In thermodynamics, the total energy of a system is

called its internal energy, U (in Joule). The internal

energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of the

molecules in the system.

ΔU is the change in internal

energy when a system changes

from an initial state i with internal

energy Ui to a final state f of

internal energy Uf . ΔU = Uf − Ui

U = f (system properties)

Um = U/n Um is Molar internal energy)

2.2.2. The formulation of the First Law

The internal energy of a system may be changed

either by doing work on the system or by heating it.

It is found that if a system is isolated from its

surroundings, then no change in internal energy takes

place.

=> The internal energy of an isolated system is

constant (U=constant).

The equation states that the change in internal energy

of a closed system is equal to the energy that passes

through its boundary as heat or work.

ΔU = q + w

2. 2. The internal energy

2.2.2. The formulation of the First Law

Example 1: If an electric motor produced 15 kJ of

energy each second as mechanical work and lost 2 kJ as

heat to the surroundings, then the change in the internal

energy of the motor each second is

ΔU = −2 kJ − 15 kJ = −17 kJ

Example 2:

Suppose that, when a spring was wound, 100 J of work

was done on it but 15 J escaped to the surroundings as

heat. The change in internal energy of the spring is

ΔU = 100 J − 15 J = +85 J

2.3 Expansion work

For infinitesimal changes of state, the

internal energy of thermodynamic system:

dU = dq + dw

dw is the work done on a system and dq is

the energy supplied to it.

2.3.1. The general expression of work

dw = −Fdz

work required to move an object a

distance dz against an opposing force

of magnitude F.

2.3.2. Free expansion

Is an expansion against zero opposing force. It

occurs when pex = 0. Thus dw = 0 for each stage

of the expansion. Hence, overall:

w = 0

That is, no work is done when a system expands

freely. Expansion of this kind occurs when a gas

expands into a vacuum.

2.3.4. Reversible expansion

A reversible change in thermodynamics is a

change that can be reversed by an infinitesimal

modification of a variable.

Example: The thermal equilibrium of two systems

with the same temperature.

Suppose a gas is confined by a

piston and that the external

pressure, pex, is set equal to the

pressure, p, of the confined gas.

pex=p (gas) dw = −pex𝑑𝑉 = -pdV

𝑤 = − 𝑝𝑑𝑉𝑉𝑓𝑉𝑖

2.3.5. Isothermal reversible expansion

Consider the isothermal, reversible expansion of a

perfect gas. The expansion is made isothermal by

keeping the system in thermal contact with its

surroundings (T=constant).

Example.

Calculate the work done when 50 g of iron reacts with

hydrochloric acid to produce FeC12(aq) and hydrogen

in

(a) A closed vessel of fixed volume,

(b) An open beaker at 25°C.

Answer

We need to judge:

The magnitude of the volume change.

Decide how the process occurs.

If there is no change in volume, there is no expansion

work => w=0; however the process takes place.

2.3 Expansion work

Page 28: Chapter-2-The first law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry€¦ · Chapter-2-The first law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry Dr. El Hassane ANOUAR Chemistry Department, College

10/24/2016 College Of Science and humanities, PSAU 28

If the system expands against a constant external

pressure, the work can be calculated from w = -pexΔV.

(a) A closed vessel of fixed volume => the volume

cannot change, so no expansion work is done,

Thus w = 0.

(b) In an open beaker, the gas drives back the

atmosphere and therefore w = −pexΔV.

We can neglect the initial volume because the final

volume (after the production of gas) is so much larger

and ΔV = Vf − Vi ≈ Vf = nRT/pex, where n is the

amount of H2 produced. Therefore,

2.3 Expansion work

w = −pexΔ𝑉 ≈ −pex

𝑛𝑅𝑇

pex = -nRT

Because the reaction is

Fe(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → FeC12(aq) + H2(g),

we know that 1 mol H2 is generated when 1 mol Fe is

consumed, and n can be taken as the amount of Fe atoms that

react. Because the molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g mol−1, it follows

that

W = -𝑚(𝐹𝑒)

M (𝐹𝑒)RT = -

55.85 𝑔.𝑚𝑜𝑙−1(8.3145 J 𝐾−1) (298 K)

= -2.2 kJ The system (the reaction mixture) does 2.2 kJ of work driving

back the atmosphere.

2.4 Heat transactions

dU = dq + dwexp + dwe

In general, we have:

Extra work

Expansion work

Heat

Change in internal energy

If the system kept at constant volume (dwexp = 0), and incapable of doing

any other kind of work (dwe = 0), then:

dU = dq = dqV ,

Thus for a measurable change:

ΔU =

qV > 0 => Heat supply to the

system

qV < 0 => Heat released by

the system

Calorimetry = The study of heat transfer during physical and chemical

processes (e.g., chemical reaction).

A calorimeter is a device for measuring energy transferred as heat (e.g.,

adiabatic bomb calorimeter for measuring ΔU).

2.4 Heat transactions

The change in temperature, ΔT, of the calorimeter is proportional to the

energy that the reaction releases or absorbs as heat:

q= C ΔT; C is the Heat capacity

2.4.1. Calorimetry

Page 32: Chapter-2-The first law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry€¦ · Chapter-2-The first law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry Dr. El Hassane ANOUAR Chemistry Department, College

10/24/2016 College Of Science and humanities, PSAU 32

The calorimeter constant C or heat capacity may be measured

electrically by passing a constant current, I, from a source of known

potential difference, Δφ, through a heater for a known period of time, t,

for then:

𝐪 = 𝐈𝐭∆𝛗

2.4 Heat transactions

Example

If we pass a current of 10.0 A from a 12 V supply for 300 s, then the energy

supplied as heat is:

q = ItΔφ

q = (10.0 A) × (12 V) × (300 s) = 3.6 × 104 A V s = 36 kJ

because 1 A V s = 1 J.

If the observed rise in temperature is 5.5 K,

then,

C = (36 kJ)/(5.5 K) = 6.5 kJ K−1

10/24/2016 College Of Science and humanities, PSAU 33

The U of a system increases when its T is raised. The increase depends

on the conditions under which the heating takes place and for the present,

we suppose that the system has a constant V.

If U is plotted against temperature, then a curve like this one may be

obtained.

𝐂𝐕,𝐦 =𝐂𝐕𝐧

Specific heat capacity at constant volume: 𝐂𝐕,𝐬 =𝐂𝐕𝐦

The heat capacity is used to relate a change in

internal energy to a change in temperature of a

constant-volume system.

dU = CV dT

If the heat capacity is independent of temperature

over the range of temperatures of interest, a

measurable change of temperature, ΔT, brings about

a measurable increase in internal energy, ΔU ΔU = CVΔT = qv

Molar heat capacity at constant volume:

2.5 Enthalpy

dU is not equal to dq when the system is free to change its volume.

Under these circumstances, some of the energy supplied as heat to the

system is returned to the surroundings as expansion work, so dU < dq.

In case, the energy supplied to the system as heat at constant pressure is

equal to the change in another thermodynamic property of the system,

the enthalpy H.

H = U + pV

The change in enthalpy is equal to the energy supplied as heat at

constant pressure

dH = dqp

For a measurable change

ΔH = qp

2.5 Enthalpy

2.5.2. The measurement of an ΔH

ΔH can be measured calorimetrically by monitoring the temperature

change that accompanies a physical or chemical change occurring at

constant pressure.

A calorimeter for studying processes at constant pressure is called an

isobaric calorimeter.

An adiabatic flame calorimeter may be used to

measure ΔT when a given amount of substance

burns in a supply of oxygen (combustion reaction)

Another route to ΔH is to measure ΔU by using a bomb calorimeter,

and then to convert ΔU to ΔH

The most sophisticated way to measure ΔH is to use a differential

scanning calorimeter (DSC).

2.5 Enthalpy

2.5.3. The variation of enthalpy with temperature

H of a substance increases as its T is raised. The relation between the

increase in H and the increase in T depends on the conditions (for

example, constant pressure or constant volume).

At constant pressure, the slope of the

tangent to a plot of enthalpy against

temperature at constant pressure is

called the heat capacity at constant

pressure Cp, at a given temperature.

𝑪𝒑 =𝝏𝑯

𝝏𝑻𝑷

Cp is used to relate ΔH to a ΔT. For

infinitesimal changes of temperature.

dH = CpdT (at constant pressure)

10/24/2016 College Of Science and humanities, PSAU 39

2.5 Enthalpy

2.5.3. The variation of enthalpy with temperature

If Cp is constant over the range of temperatures of interest, then for a

measurable increase in temperature:

ΔH = CpΔT (at constant pressure)

Because an increase in H can be equated with the energy supplied as heat

at constant pressure qp, the practical form of the latter equation is:

qp = CpΔT

another form, aragonite, is +0.21 kJ mol−1. Calculate the difference

between the molar enthalpy and internal energy changes when the pressure

is 1.0 bar given that the densities of the polymorphs are 2.71 g cm−3 and

2.93 g cm−3, respectively?

2.5 Enthalpy

2.5.3. The variation of enthalpy with temperature

Solution

The starting point for the calculation is the relation between the enthalpy of

a substance and its internal energy. The difference between the two

quantities can be expressed in terms of the pressure and the difference of

their molar volumes, and the latter can be calculated from their molar

masses, M, and their mass densities, ρ, by using ρ =M/Vm.

The change in enthalpy when the transition occurs is:

ΔHm = Hm(aragonite) − Hm(calcite)

= {Um(a) + pVm(a)} − {Um(c) + pVm(c)}

=Um(a) − Um(c) + pVm(a) - pVm(c)

= ΔUm + p{Vm(a) − Vm(c)}

where a denotes aragonite and c calcite.

It follows by substituting Vm =M/ρ that:

∆𝐻𝑚 − ∆𝑈𝑚= 𝑝𝑀1

Substitution of the data, using M= 100 g mol−1, gives

2.71 𝑔 𝑐𝑚−3

= −2.8 × 10-5 Pa cm3 mol−1 = −0.28 Pa m3 mol−1

Hence (because 1 Pa m3 = 1 J), ΔHm − ΔUm = −0.28 J mol−1,

which is only 0.1 per cent of the value of ΔUm. We see that it is usually

justifiable to ignore the difference between the molar enthalpy and internal

energy of condensed phases, except at very high pressures, when pΔVm is

no longer negligible.

The enthalpy of a perfect gas (pV = nRT) is related to its internal energy

H = U + pV = U + nRT

This relation implies that the change of enthalpy in a reaction that

produces or consumes gas is:

ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT

where Δng is the change in the amount of gas molecules in the reaction.

Example: Calculating a change in enthalpy

Water is heated to boiling under a pressure of 1.0 atm. When an electric

current of 0.50 A from a 12 V supply is passed for 300 s through a

resistance in thermal contact with it, it is found that 0.798 g of water is

vaporized. Calculate the molar internal energy and enthalpy changes at the

boiling point (373.15 K).

Answer

Because the vaporization occurs at constant pressure, the enthalpy change

is equal to the heat supplied by the heater. Therefore, the strategy is to

calculate the energy supplied as heat (from q = I×t×Δφ), express that as an

enthalpy change, and then convert the result to a molar enthalpy change by

division by the amount of H2O molecules vaporized.

To convert from enthalpy change to internal energy change, we assume

that the vapour is a perfect gas and use ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT.

The enthalpy change is:

ΔH = qp = I*ΔΦ*t= (0.50A) × (12 V) × (300 s) = 0.50 × 12 × 300 J

Here we have used 1 A V s = 1 J.

Because 0.798 g of water is

0.798 𝑔

18.02 𝑔 𝑚𝑜𝑙−1=0.798

18.02 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐻2𝑂

The enthalpy of vaporization per mole of H2O is

∆𝐻𝑚= +0.50 × 12 × 300 𝐽

(0.798 18.02) 𝑚𝑜𝑙= +41 𝐾𝐽 𝑚𝑜𝑙−1

In the process H2O (l) → H2O (g) the change in the amount of gas

molecules is

Δng = +1 mol,

so

ΔUm = ΔHm − RT = +38 kJ mol−1

Notice that the internal energy change is smaller than the enthalpy change

because energy has been used to drive back the surrounding atmosphere to

make room for the vapour.

Example

Evaluating an increase in enthalpy with temperature

What is the change in molar enthalpy of N2 when it is heated from 25°C to

100°C? Use the heat capacity information in Table 2.2 (see word document).

Answer

The heat capacity of N2 changes with temperature. Therefore, we must use eqn

Cp,m = a + bT +c

T2, substitute into dH = CpdT for the temperature dependence

of the heat capacity, and integrate the resulting expression from 25°C to 100°C.

For convenience, we denote the two temperatures T1 (298 K) and T2 (373 K).

The relation we require is:

𝑑𝐻𝐻(𝑇2)

𝐻(𝑇1)

= 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑇 +𝑐

𝑇2𝑑𝑇

𝑇2

𝑇1

𝐻 𝑇2 − 𝐻 𝑇1 = 𝑎 𝑇2 − 𝑇1 +𝑏

2𝑇22 − 𝑇1

2 − 𝑐 1

𝑇2−1

𝑇1

Substitution of the numerical data results in

H(373 K) = H(298 K) + 2.20 kJ mol−1

If we had assumed a constant heat capacity of 29.14 J K−1 mol−1 (the value given

by eqn 2.25 at 25°C), we would have found that the two enthalpies differed by

2.19 kJ mol−1.

2.6 Adiabatic changes

We are now equipped to deal with the changes that occur when a perfect

gas expands adiabatically.

The change in internal energy of a perfect gas when the temperature is

changed from Ti to Tf and the volume is changed from Vi to Vf can be

expressed as the sum of two steps :

ΔU = CV (Tf − Ti)

= CVΔT = wad

The subscript ‘ad’ denotes

an adiabatic process

The initial and final temperatures of a perfect gas that undergoes

reversible adiabatic expansion (reversible expansion in a thermally

insulated container) can be calculated from:

𝐓𝐟 = 𝐓𝐢𝐕𝐢𝐕𝐟

𝟏𝐜

where c = CV,m/R.

By raising each side of this expression to the power c, an equivalent

expression is:

𝐕𝐢𝐓𝐢𝐜 = 𝐕𝐟𝐓𝐟

𝐜

This result is often summarized in the form VTc = constant.

2.6 Adiabatic changes

Example

Consider the adiabatic, reversible expansion of 0.020 mol Ar, initially at

25°C, from 0.50 dm3 to 1.00 dm3. The molar heat capacity of argon at

constant volume is 12.48 J K−1 mol−1, so c = 1.501.

Therefore,

𝑇𝑓 = 𝑇𝑖𝑉𝑖𝑉𝑓

1𝑐

𝑇𝑓 = 298 ×0.50 𝑑𝑚3

1.00 𝑑𝑚3

11.501

= 188 𝐾

It follows that ΔT = −110 K and, therefore,

w =ΔU = CV (Tf − Ti) = n*CV,m (Tf − Ti)

w = {(0.020 mol) × (12.48 J K−1 mol−1)} × (−110 K) = −27 J

Note that temperature change is independent of the amount of gas but the

work is not.

2.6 Adiabatic changes

The pressure of a perfect gas that undergoes reversible adiabatic

expansion from a volume Vi to a volume Vf is related to its initial

pressure by:

𝐩𝐟𝐕𝐟𝛄= 𝐩𝐢𝐕𝐢

𝛄

where γ = Cp,m/CV,m.

This result is commonly summarized in the form:

pVγ = constant

For a monatomic perfect gas:

Cp,m = (5/2)R => γ = 5/3

For a gas of nonlinear polyatomic molecules (which can rotate as well as

translate):

CV,m = 3R => γ = 4/3

The curves of pressure versus volume for adiabatic change are known as

adiabats, and one for a reversible path is illustrated below:

2.6 Adiabatic changes

Because γ > 1, an adiabat falls more steeply (p ∝ 1/Vγ ) than the

corresponding isotherm (p ∝ 1/V).

The physical reason for the difference is that, in an isothermal

expansion, energy flows into the system as heat and maintains the

temperature; as a result, the pressure does not fall as much as in an

adiabatic expansion.

When a sample of argon (for which γ = 5/3) at 100 kPa expands reversibly

and adiabatically to twice its initial volume the final pressure will be
