Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics - study of relationships between heat
and other forms of energy in chemical reactions

The direction and extent of chemical reactions can be
predicted through thermodynamics (i.e., feasibility)

In thermodynamics, a state variable is also called a state
function

Examples include:
Temperature (T), Pressure (P), Volume (V),
Internal Energy (E), Enthalpy (H), and Entropy (S)

2/6/2015
In contrast Heat (q) and Work (W) are not state
functions, but process functions
5
Thermodynamics

Chemical reactions are driven by heat (Enthalpy) and/or
randomness (Entropy)

A measure of randomness (disorder) is Entropy (S)

An increase in disorder is spontaneous

Spontaneous reactions are moving toward equilibrium

Spontaneous reactions move in the direction where energy
is lowered, and move to Q/K = 1 (equilibrium)

Thermodynamics is used to determine spontaneity
(a process which occurs by itself) and the natural forces
that determine the extent of a chemical reaction (i.e., Kc)
2/6/2015
6
Thermodynamics

For a reaction to be useful it must be spontaneous
(i.e., goes to near completion, i.e., far to the right)


Spontaneity of a reaction depends on:

Enthalpy - heat flow in chemical reactions

Entropy - measure of the order or randomness of
a system (Entropy units - J/ oK)

Entropy is a state function; S = Sfinal - Sinitial

Higher disorder equates to an increase in Entropy

Entropy has positional and thermal disorder
There are three principal laws of thermodynamics, each of
which leads to the definition of thermodynamic properties
(state variables) which help us to understand and predict
the operation of a physical system

7
Laws of Thermodynamics

The Laws of Thermodynamics define fundamental
physical quantities (temperature, energy, and entropy that
characterize thermodynamic systems. The laws describe
how these quantities behave under various circumstances,
and forbid certain phenomena (such as perpetual motion)

The First Law of Thermodynamics is a statement of the
conservation of energy

The Second Law is a statement about the direction of that
conservation

The Third Law is a statement about reaching Absolute
Zero (0° K)

Laws of Thermodynamics

First law of thermodynamics:

The first law, also known as the Law of Conservation
of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed in a chemical reaction

Energy can only be transferred or changed from one
form to another. For example, turning on a light would
seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical
energy taken from another source that is converted

It relates the various forms of kinetic and
potential energy in a system to the work
(W = -PΔV) which a system can perform and to the
transfer of heat

It applies to the changes in internal energy (ΔE) when
energy passes, as work (W), as heat (q), or with
matter, into or out from a system
2/6/2015
9
Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law is usually formulated by stating that the
change in the Internal Energy (E) of a closed system
is equal to the amount of Heat (q) supplied to the
system, minus the amount of Work (W = -PV)
performed by the system on its surroundings

The law of conservation of energy can be stated
The Energy of an Isolated System is Constant
ΔE = q + w = q - P V
2/6/2015
10
Laws of Thermodynamics

First Law of system Thermodynamics

Conservation of Energy, E (or U in some texts)
Any change in the energy of the system
corresponds to the interchange of “heat” (work) with
an “External” surrounding

Total Internal Energy (E) - The sum of the kinetic
and potential energies of the particles making up a
substance

Kinetic Energy (Ek) - The energy associated with an
object by virtue of its motion,
Ek = ½mv2

Potential Energy (Ep) - The energy an object has by
virtue of its position in a field of force,
Ep = mgh

(kg  m/s2 m = kgm2/s2)
11
Laws of Thermodynamics

Work – The energy transferred is moved by a force,
such as the expansion of a gas in an open system under
constant pressure
Pressure
= kg/(ms2)
Volume
= m3
Work (W) = kg/(ms2)  m3 = kgm2/s2 = joules (J)

Internal Energy
● The Internal Energy of a system, E, is precisely
defined as the heat at constant pressure (qp)
plus the work (w) done by the system:
ΔE = qp + w
ΔE = qp + (-P ΔV)
qp  ΔE  P ΔV
2/6/2015
12
Laws of Thermodynamics

Enthalpy is defined as the internal energy plus the
product of the pressure and volume – work

The change in Enthalpy is the change in internal
energy plus the product of constant pressure and the
change in Volume
Recall


ΔH = qp
(At Constant Pressure)
The change in Enthalpy equals the heat gained or lost
(heat of reaction) at constant pressure – the entire change
in “internal energy” (E), minus any expansion “work”
done by the system (PV) would have negative sign


E – total internal energy; the sum of kinetic and
potential energies in the system
q – heat flow between system and surroundings
(-q indicates that heat is lost to surroundings)
w – work (-w indicates work is lost to surroundings)
H – Enthalpy – extensive property dependent on
quantity of substance and represents the heat
energy tied up in the chemical bonds (heat of
reaction)

Practice Problem
Consider the combustion of Methane (CH4) in Oxygen
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
The heat of reaction (q) at 25 oC and 1.00 atm is -890.2 kJ. What
is E for the change indicated by the chemical equation at 1 atm?
n = 3 mol converted to 1 mol = -2 mol
@ 25 oC and 1 atm, 1 mol of gas = 24.5 L, thus
V = -2(24.5) = -49 L  (1m3/1000 L) = -0.049 m3
E = q - PV
E = -890.2 kJ – 1 atm x (-0.049 m3)
E = -890.2 kJ – (1.01 x 105 Pa)(-0.049 m3)
E = -890.2 kJ – (1.01 x 105 kg/ms2)(-0.049m3)
E = -890.2 kJ + (4949 J x 1 kJ/1000 J)
E = -890.2 kJ + 4.949 kJ = -885 kJ

Laws of Thermodynamics

Second Law of Thermodynamics:

The second law introduces a new state variable,
Entropy (S)

Entropy is a measure of the number of specific ways in
which the energy of a thermodynamic system can be
dispersed through the motions of its particles

In a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the
entropies of the participating thermodynamic
systems increases

The total entropy of a system plus its environment
(surroundings) can not decrease; it can remain
constant for a reversible process but must always
increase for an irreversible process
2/6/2015
17
Laws of Thermodynamics

Second Law of Thermodynamics:

According to the second law the entropy of an isolated
system not in thermal equilibrium never decreases;
such a system will spontaneously evolve toward
thermodynamic equilibrium, the state of maximum
entropy of the system
More simply put: the entropy of the world only
increases and never decreases

2/6/2015
A simple application of the second law of
thermodynamics is that a room, if not cleaned and
tidied, will invariably become more messy and
disorderly with time - regardless of how careful one is
to keep it clean. When the room is cleaned, its entropy
decreases, but the effort to clean it has resulted in an
increase in entropy outside the room that exceeds the
entropy lost
18
Laws of Thermodynamics

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Entropy is a state function; S = Sf - Si

Higher disorder equates to an increase in Entropy

Entropy has positional and thermal disorder

The Entropy, S, is conserved for a reversible process

The disorder of the system and thermal surroundings
must increase for a spontaneous process

The total Entropy of a system and its surroundings
always increases for a “Spontaneous” process

A process occurs spontaneously in the direction that
increases the Entropy of the universe
2/6/2015
19
Laws of Thermodynamics

A spontaneous change, whether a chemical or physical
change, or just a change in location is one that:

Occurs by itself under specified conditions

Occurs without a continuous input of energy from
outside the system

In a non-spontaneous change, the surroundings must
supply the system with a continuous input of energy

Under a given set of conditions, a spontaneous change in
one direction is not spontaneous in the “other” direction
A limitation of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics

Spontaneous does not equate to “Instantaneous”

The first and second laws make it impossible to construct
a perpetual motion machine.

Laws of Thermodynamics

Limitations of the 1st law of Thermodynamics

The 1st Law accounts for the energy involved in a
chemical process (reaction)

The internal energy (E) of a system, the sum of the
kinetic and potential energy of all its particles,
changes when heat (q) and/or work (w= -PV) are
gained or lost by the system
ΔE = q + w = q - P V

2/6/2015
Energy not part of the system is part of the
surroundings
21
Laws of Thermodynamics

The surroundings (sur) and the system (sys)
together constitute the “Universe (univ)”
Euniv = Esys + Esur

Heat and/or work gained by system is lost by
surroundings
(q + w)sys = - (q + w)surr

The “total” energy of the Universe is constant
ΔEsys = - ΔEsur
2/6/2015
 ΔEsys + ΔEsur = 0 = ΔEuniv
22
Laws of Thermodynamics

The first Law, however, does not account for the
“direction” of the change in energy
Ex. The burning of gas in your car

Potential energy difference between chemical bonds in
fuel mixture and those in exhaust is converted to kinetic
energy to move the car

Some of the converted energy is released to the
environmental surroundings as heat (q)

Energy (E) is converted from one form to another, but
there is a “net” conservation of energy

1st law does not explain why the exhaust gas does not
convert back into gasoline and oxygen

1st law does not account for the “direction” of a
spontaneous change
2/6/2015
23
Laws of Thermodynamics

Spontaneous Change and Change in Enthalpy (H)

It was originally proposed (19th Century) that the “sign” of
the Enthalpy change (H) – the heat lost or gained at
constant pressure (qp) – was the criterion of spontaneity

Exothermic processes (H < 0) were “spontaneous”

Endothermic processes (H > 0) were “nonspontaneous”

Ex. Combustion (burning) of Methane in Oxygen is
CH 4 (g) + 2O2 (g)  CO2 (g) + 2H 2O(g)
ΔH = - 802 kJ
“Spontaneous” and “Exothermic” (H < 0)
When Methane burns in your furnace, heat is released
2/6/2015
24
Laws of Thermodynamics

The sign of the change in Enthalpy (H), however, does
not indicate spontaneity in all cases

An Exothermic process can occur spontaneously under
certain conditions and the opposite Endothermic process
can also occur spontaneously under other conditions
Ex. Water freezes below 0oC and melts above 0oC
Both changes are spontaneous
Freezing is Exothermic
Melting (& Evaporation) is Endothermic
Most Water-Soluble Salts have a positive Hsoln
yet they dissolve spontaneously
The decomposition of N2O5 is Endothermic and
spontaneous
2/6/2015
N 2O5 (s)  2NO2 (g) + 1 2O2 (g)
ΔHrxn = +109.5 kJ
25
Entropy

Freedom of motion & energy dispersion

Endothermic processes result in more
particles (atoms, ions, molecules) with more
freedom of motion – Entropy increases

During an Endothermic phase change, “fewer”
moles of reactant produce “more” moles of
product

The energy of the particles is dispersed over
more quantized energy levels
2/6/2015
26
Entropy

Endothermic Spontaneous Process
Less freedom of particle motion  more freedom of motion
Localized energy of motion  dispersed energy of motion
Phase Change:
Solid  Liquid  Gas
Dissolving of Salt: Crystalline Solid + Liquid  Ions in Solution
Chemical Change: Crystalline Solids  Gases + Ions in
Solution

In thermodynamic terms, a change in the freedom of motion
of particles in a system, that is, in the dispersal of their
energy of motion, is a key factor determining the direction of
a spontaneous process

Quantized Energy Levels

Electronic

Kinetic - vibrational, rotational, translational
Microstate

A single quantized state at any instant

The total energy of the system is dispersed throughout
the microstate

New microstates are created when system conditions
change

At a given set of conditions, each microstate has the
same total energy as any other

A given microstate is just as likely to occur as any other
microstate

Changes in Entropy

The change in Entropy of the system (Ssys) depends
only on the difference between its final and initial values
ΔSsys = Sfinal - Sinitial

(Ssys) > 0 when its value increases during a change
Ex. Sublimation of dry ice to gaseous CO2
CO2 (s)  CO 2 (g)
ΔSsys = Sfinal - Sinitial = SgaseousCO2 - SsolidCO2

(Ssys) < 0 when its value decreases during a change
Ex. Condensation of Water
H 2O(g)  H 2O(l)
ΔSsys = Sliquid H2O - Sgaseous H2O
2/6/2015
33
Entropy

Entropy Changes based on Heat Changes
 The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that the change
in Entropy for a gas expanding into a vacuum is related
to the heat absorbed (qrev) and the temperature (T) at
which the exchange occurs
qrev
ΔSsys =



2/6/2015
T
Qrev refers to a “Reversible” process where the
expansion of the gas can be reversed by the application
of pressure (work, PV)
The heat absorbed by the expanding gas increases the
dispersal of energy in the system, increasing the
Entropy
If the change in Entropy, Ssys, is greater than the heat
absorbed divided by the absolute temperature, the
process occurs spontaneously
34
Laws of Thermodynamics

Determination of the Direction of a Spontaneous Process
Second Law Restated
All real processes occur spontaneously in the
direction that increases the Entropy of the universe
(system + surroundings)

When changes in both the system and the surroundings
occur, the universe must be considered

Some spontaneous processes end up with higher
Entropy

Other spontaneous processes end up with lower
Entropy
2/6/2015
35
Laws of Thermodynamics

The Entropy change in the system or surroundings can
be positive or negative

For a spontaneous process, the “sum” of the Entropy
changes must be positive

If the Entropy of the system decreases, the Entropy of
the surroundings must increase, making the net
increase to the universe positive
ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsurr > 0

36
Laws of Thermodynamics

The 3rd Law of Thermodynamics:

Entropy & Enthalpy are both “state” functions

Absolute Enthalpies cannot be determined, only
changes
i.e., No reference point

Absolute Entropy of a substance provides a reference
point and can be determined
2/6/2015

The Entropy of a system approaches a constant value
as the temperature approaches zero

The entropy of a system at absolute zero is typically
zero, and in all cases is determined only by the
number of different ground states it has
37
Laws of Thermodynamics

Specifically, the entropy of a pure crystalline
substance (perfect order, where all particles are
perfectly aligned with no defects of any kind) at
absolute zero temperature is zero

This statement holds true if the perfect crystal has
only one state with minimum energy
Ssys = 0 at 0oK


2/6/2015
Temperature Changes

So increases as temperature increases

Temperature increases as “heat” is absorbed
(q > 0)

As temperature increases, the Kinetic
Energies of gases, liquids, and solids increase
and are dispersed over larger areas
increasing the number of microstates
available, which increases Entropy
40
Entropy
 At any T > 0o K, each particle
moves about its lattice
position
 As temperature increases
through the addition of
“heat”, movement is greater
 Total energy is increased
giving particles greater
freedom of movement
 Energy is more dispersed
 Entropy is increased

Predicting Relative So Values of a System (Con’t)
 Physical States and Phase Changes
 So increases for a substance as it changes from a
solid to a liquid to a gas
 Heat must be absorbed (q>0) for a change in phase
to occur
 Increase in Entropy from liquid to gas is much larger
than from solid to liquid Svapo >> Sfuso


Predicting Relative So Values of a System (Con’t)

Dissolving a solid or liquid

Entropy of a dissolved solid or liquid is greater than
the Entropy of the “pure” solute

As the crystals breakdown, the ions have increased
freedom of movement

Particle energy is more dispersed into more
“microstates”
Entropy is increased
2/6/2015

Entropy increase is “greater” for ionic solutes than
“molecular” solutes – more particles are produced

The slight increase in Entropy for “molecular” solutes
in solution arises from the separation of molecules
from one another when mixed with the solvent

Entropy Changes in the Surroundings

2nd Law – For a spontaneous process, a decrease in
Entropy in the system, Ssys, can only occur if there is
an increase in Entropy in the surroundings, Ssys
ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsur > 0
(spontaneous process)

Essential role of the surroundings is to either add heat
to the system or remove heat from the system –
surroundings act as a “Heat Sink”

Surroundings are generally considered so large that its
temperature essentially remains constant even though
its Entropy will change through the loss or gain of heat

increase in surroundings leads to Entropy increase
Exothermic Change :


Practice Problem
How does the Entropy of the surroundings change during an
Exothermic reaction?
Ans: In an Exothermic process, the system releases heat
to its surroundings. The Entropy of the surroundings
increases because the temperature of the
surroundings increases (ΔSsur > 0)
How does the Entropy of the surroundings change during an
Endothermic reaction?
Ans: In an Endothermic process, the system absorbs heat
from the surroundings and the surroundings become
cooler. Thus, the Entropy of the surroundings
decreases (ΔSsur < 0)

Practice Problem
What is the Entropy of a perfect crystal at 0 oK
Ans: According to the Third Law, the Entropy is zero
Does the Entropy increase or decrease as the temperature rises?
Ans: Entropy will increase with temperature
Why is ∆Hof = 0 but So > 0 for an element?
Ans: The third law states that the Entropy of a pure, perfectly
crystalline element or compound may be taken as zero at
zero Kelvin. Since the standard state temperature is 25°C
and Entropy increases with temperature, S° must be
greater than zero for an element in its standard state
Why does Appendix B list ∆Hof values but not ∆Sof
Ans: Since Entropy values have a reference point (0 Entropy at
0 K), actual Entropy values can be determined, not just
Entropy changes

Relationship between Q/K and G

If Q/K < 1, then ln(Q/K) < 0 and if G < 0
Then: Reaction is Exothermic and spontaneous

If Q/K > 1, then ln(Q/K) > 0 and if G > 0
Then: Reaction is Endothermic and nonspontaneous

If Q/K = 1, then ln(Q/K) = 0 and if G = 0
Then: Reaction has reached equilibrium

In each case the signs of ln(Q/K) and G are the same
for a given reaction direction

Gibbs noted that ln(Q/K) and G are proportional to
each other and are related (made equal) by the
proportionality constant “RT”

Thermodynamics

Recall: Q represents the concentrations (or pressures) of
systems components at any time during the reaction,
whereas, K represents the concentrations when the
reaction has reached “equilibrium”

G depends on how the Q ratio of the concentrations
differs from the equilibrium ratio, K

Standard Free Energy (Go) can be computed from the
Equilibrium constant (K)
Logarithmic relationship means a “small” change in Go
has a large effect on the value of K

For expressing the free energy for nonstandard initial
conditions

Substitute Go equation into G equation
ΔG = RT ln Q - RT ln K = RT ln Q - (-ΔG o )

Laws of Thermodynamics

1st Law – The change in the Internal Energy of a closed
system (E) is equal to the amount of Heat (q) supplied
to the system, minus the amount of Work (w)
performed by the system on its surroundings
ΔE = q + w = q - P V


Limitations of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics

The 1st Law accounts for the energy involved in a
chemical process (reaction)

The first Law, however, does not account for the
“direction” of the change in energy
97
Summary

2nd Law of Thermodynamics

The total Entropy of a system and its surroundings
always increases for a “Spontaneous” process

All real processes occur spontaneously in the
direction that increases the Entropy of the universe
(system + surroundings)

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that the
change in Entropy for a gas expanding into a vacuum
is related to the heat absorbed (qrev) and the
temperature (T) at which the exchange occurs
