• Energy has the units of joules (J or kg m /s )
. 2 2
• Potential Energy
• Energy due to condition, position, or composition.
• Associated with forces of attraction or repulsion between objects.
Ep= mgh 5
6
Potential energy (P.E.) and kinetic energy (K.E.)
• Energy can change from potential to kinetic.
Thermal Energy
Kinetic energy associated with random molecular motion.
7
• Thermal energy the temperature of a system
the hotter the sample the greater is
its thermal energy.
8
7-2 Heat (q)
• Heat involves the transfer of thermal energy.
• Energy, as heat, passes from a warmer body (higher T) to a colder body (lower T)
until the average kinetic energies of the two bodies is equal (ie. until they have the
same T).
9
Phase Changes
• Heat transfer can also cause a change in matter; between solid, liquid
and gas. In this process, the transfer of energy does not cause a change in
temperature (the process is isothermal), but rather the energy overcomes
intermolecular forces.
• Once a solid has melted completely, any further heat flow will raise the
temperature of the resulting liquid.
10
• The quantity of heat (q) required to change the temperature of a substance
depends on:
1. How much the temperature is to be changed (DT).
2. The quantity of substance (m).
3. The nature of substance (type of atoms or molecules)(c).
• The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of one gram of water by
one degree Celsius has been called the calorie (cal).
• The calorie is a small unit of energy, and the unit kilocalorie (kcal) has also been
widely used.
• The kilocalorie is commonly used for measuring the energy content of foods.
• The SI unit for heat is simply the basic SI energy unit, the joule (J).
1 cal = 4.184 J
11
Heat Capacity
• Heat Capacity (C)
The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of a system by 1 oC,
usually expressed as J oC–1.
12
13
• The quantity of heat related to the mass of a substance, its specific heat,
and the temperature change.
If DT (Tf >Ti) > 0, then q > 0 and heat is gained by the system
If DT (Tf <Ti) < 0, then q < 0 and heat is lost by the system
14
Law of conservation of energy
qsystem + qsurroundings = 0
qsystem = -qsurroundings
15
Experimental Determination of Specific heats
c) The hot lead is dumped into the cold water, and the
temperature of the final lead–water mixture is 28.8oC.
• The transfer of energy, as heat, from the lead to the cooler water causes the
temperature of the lead to decrease and that of the water to increase, until the lead
and water are at the same temperature.
• Either the lead or the water can be considered the system. If we consider lead to
be the system, we can write qlead = qsystem. Then, qwater = qsurrundings.
16
17
Specific heats of Some Substances
TABLE 7.1 Some Specific Heat Values, J g-1 °C-1
• The relatively high specific heat of aluminum compared with other metals
helps to account for its use in “miracle thaw” products designed to thaw frozen
foods rapidly. The aluminum cools only slowly as it transfers heat to the frozen
food, and the food thaws more quickly than when simply exposed to air.
• Because of their greater complexity at the molecular level, compounds generally have
more ways of storing internal energy than do the elements; they tend to have higher
specific heats. Water, for example, has a specific heat that is more than 30 times as great
as that of lead. We need a much larger quantity of heat to change the temperature of a
sample of water than of an equal mass of a metal.
• An environmental consequence of the high specific heat of water is found in the effect of
large lakes on local climates. Because a lake takes much longer to heat up in summer and
cool down in winter than other types of terrain, lakeside communities tend to be cooler in
summer and warmer in winter than communities more distant from the lake. 18
7-3 Heats of Reaction and Calorimetry
• Thermal energy
Kinetic energy associated with random molecular motion.
• Chemical energy
Associated with chemical bonds and intermolecular attractions.
• A chemical reaction is a process in which some chemical bonds are broken and
others are formed, then, the chemical energy of a system change as a result of
a reaction and appears as heat.
• Heat of combustion
The heat released by a combustion reaction.
19
• An exothermic reaction gives off heat

The “Coffee-Cup” Calorimeter
• A common general chemistry assembly used to measure the heat of an aqueous
reaction. The quantity measured is the heat of reaction at constant pressure.
Pressure-volume work

w = -P x A x Δ h
𝐹
𝑤= − x ∆h x A w = -PDV
𝐴
w = -PextDV
32
• Work w = -PextDV
• When a gas expands, △V is positive and the work is negative system loses energy.
• When a gas is compressed, △V is negative and w is positive, signifying that energy
(as work) enters the system.
33
• If pressure is stated in atmospheres and volume in liters, the unit of work is the
liter-atmosphere, L atm; while the SI unit of work is the joule.
• The conversion factor between these two units of work can be obtained from the gas
constant, R.
1 L atm = 101.33 J

38
The First Law of Thermodynamics
39
• Energy entering a system carries a positive sign:
– heat absorbed by the system, q or
– work done on the system, w
• Energy leaving a system carries a negative sign:
– heat given off by the system, q
– work done by the system, w
• If, on balance, more energy enters the system than leaves, ∆U is positive.
40
41
Functions of State
• Any property that has a unique value for a specified state of a system is said to
be a function of state or a state function.
• The densities of the three different samples for the state that we specified will be the same: 0.99820.
• The value of a function of state depends on the state of the system, and not on how that state was
established.
42
Functions of State
• U is a function of state.
– Not easily measured.
DU -DU
State 1(U1) → State 2(U2) → State 1(U1)
43
Path Dependent Functions
• Changes in heat (q) and work (w) are not functions of state.
• Their values depend on the path followed when a system undergoes a change.
–Remember example 7-5,
w = -1.1 x 102 J in a one step expansion of gas:
• Let us consider a two step process from 2.40 atm to 1.80 atm, and finally to 1.30 atm.
1.30 atm
2.40 atm 1.80 atm w = (-1.80 atm)(1.36-1.02)L + (-1.30 atm)(1.88-1.36)L
= (-0.61) L atm + (- 0.68) L atm
= (-1.3) L atm (101J/ 1L atm)
= -1.3 x 102 J
• The value of DU is the same for the single- and two-stage expansion processes
because internal energy is a function of state.
• Slightly more work is done in the two-stage expansion. Work is path dependent.

energy change in a system

Heats of Reaction
• Constant Pressure Reactions: carried out open to the constant pressure of the
atmosphere. Here, PV work is done as the system expands or contracts.
qV = qP + w

Enthalpy Change (DH) Accompanying a Change in
State of Matter
51
52
Standard States and Standard Enthalpy Changes
• The measured enthalpy change for a reaction has a unique value only if the initial state
(reactants) and final state (products) are precisely described.
• Standard State
– The standard state of a solid or liquid substance is the pure element or compound at 1 bar
pressure and the temperature of interest (usually 25 oC).
– Gaseous standard state is the “ideal gas” at 1 bar pressure and the temperature of
interest (usually 25 oC).
– e.g., at 1 bar, 25 oC standard state for Hg is liquid, C is solid, H2O is liquid, He is gas.
53
Enthalpy Diagrams
• The negative sign of DH in the combustion of sucrose means that reaction is exothermic.
• The positive sign of DH in the reaction of nitrogen with oxgen means that reaction is endothermic.
54
7-7 Indirect Determination of DH: Hess’s Law
• DH is an extensive property.
– Enthalpy change is directly proportional to the amount of substance in a system.
– The standard enthalpy change in the formation of NO(g) from its elements at 25°C.
55
• Hess’s law of constant heat summation
– If a process occurs in stages or steps, the enthalpy change for the overall process is
the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.
– Describe the standard enthalpy change for the formation of NO2(g) from N2(g) and O2(g).
56

58
7-8 Standard Enthalpies of Formation DHf°
• The enthalpy change that occurs in the formation of one mole of a substance
in the standard state from the reference forms of the elements in their
standard states.
• The reference forms of the elements are their most stable forms at the
given temperature and 1 bar pressure.
59
• Carbon can exist as both diamond and graphite, however, there is a measurable
enthalpy difference between the two forms:
DHfo C (graphite) = 0
60
• Although we can obtain bromine in either the gaseous or liquid state at 298.15 K,
Br2 (l) is the most stable form.

enthalpy change is a standard enthalpy change, DHº.

Work (w)
• Like heat, work is an energy transfer between a system and its
surroundings.
• Unlike heat, work is caused by a force moving through a distance
(heat is caused by a temperature difference).
• A negative quantity of work signifies that the system loses energy.
• A positive quantity of work signifies that the system gains energy.
• There is no such thing as “negative energy” nor “positive energy”; the
sign of work (or heat) signifies the direction of energy flow.
81
• Internal energy is transferred between a system and its
surroundings as a result of a temperature difference.
