ABSTRACT
4
This field not only enhances our theoretical understanding of
chemical reactions but also drives practical advancements in
green chemistry, sustainable energy, and material science.
ENTHALPY
H=U+PV
ΔH=ΔU+ΔPV
5
ΔH=ΔU+PΔV
ΔH=q
ENTROPY
∆S = qrev,iso/T

Temperature is inversely proportional to entropy in the sense
that adding heat at a lower temperature leads to a greater
increase in entropy compared to adding the same amount of
heat at a higher temperature. This happens because the heat
transfer spreads out more effectively when the temperature is
lower, causing a greater increase in randomness.
∆Ssystem=-q/T1
∆Ssurrounding =q/T2
∆Stotal=-q/T1+q/T2

Entropy change during the isothermal reversible expansion of
an ideal gas
∆S = qrev,iso/T
∆U=q+w
Therefore,
∆S = nRln(V2/V1)
Q=0
Therefore,
∆S = 0

Even though the reversible adiabatic expansion is isentropic,
the irreversible adiabatic expansion is not isentropic.
G = H – TS
Where,
H = enthalpy
T = temperature
9
S = entropy
OR
G = U + PV – TS
Where,
ΔG = ΔH – Δ(TS)
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
10
This equation is called the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.
Exothermic Reaction
11
Therefore, the energy change (or the enthalpy change, denoted
by ΔH) is measured instead. The relation between the value of
ΔH and the bond energies of the reaction can be given by the
following equation.

Endothermic Reaction
13
Principles
Hess’s Law
15
enthalpy change of a reaction is the same, regardless of the
number of steps the reaction is carried out in.
Bond Enthalpy
Activation Energy
17
Activation energy is the threshold that determines whether a
reaction can proceed. It ensures that only molecules with
sufficient kinetic energy will react, which is crucial for studying
reaction rates.
Heat Capacity
18
It has been seen that the internal energy of a system can be
changed by either supplying heat energy to it, or doing work on
it.
Mathematically,
Q=CΔT
19
Where Q is the heat energy required to bring about a
temperature change of ΔT and C is the heat capacity of the
system under study.
Q= m s ΔT
Phase Change
20
the molecules are close together, to a gas, in which the
molecules are, on average, far apart, requires an input of
energy (heat) to give the molecules enough kinetic energy to
allow them to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces.
The stronger the attractive forces, the more energy is needed
to overcome them. Solids, which are highly ordered, have the
strongest intermolecular interactions, whereas gases, which are
very disordered, have the weakest. Thus any transition from a
more ordered to a less ordered state (solid to liquid, liquid to
gas, or solid to gas) requires an input of energy; it is
endothermic. Conversely, any transition from a less ordered to
a more ordered state (liquid to solid, gas to liquid, or gas to
solid) releases energy; it is exothermic.
Calorimeter
1. Isolation:
2. Heat Exchange:
21
When a reaction or process occurs within the calorimeter, heat
is either absorbed (endothermic) or released (exothermic).
3. Temperature Measurement:
4. Energy Calculation:
qsystem + qsurroundings = 0
Q= m s ΔT
22
Such measurements can be made easily with this. Say in a
calorimeter a fixed amount of fuel is burned. The vessel is filled
with water, and the fuel is burned, leading to the heating of the
water. Heat loss by the fuel is equal to the heat gained by the
water. This is why it is important to insulate the calorimeter
from the environment; to improve the accuracy of the
experiment. This change in heat can be measured through the
thermometer. Through such a measurement, we can find out
both the heat capacity of water and also the energy stored
inside a fuel.

Uses
24
The heat of reaction, also known as the enthalpy of reaction, is
the amount of heat change that occurs after moles of reactants
involved in a thermochemical process have completely
interacted with one another.
25
The Heat of Neutralization or Enthalpy of Neutralization
NaCl+H2O⇄Na+(aq.) +Cl−(aq.)
26
The Heat of Hydration
C(graphite) → C(diamond)
H2O(s) → H2O(l)
H2O(l) → H2O(g)
27
The Heat of Sublimation or Enthalpy of Sublimation
I2(s) → I2(g)
CH 2 = CH 2 ( g )+ H 2 ( g ) → CH 3 – CH 3
Heat of Atomisation
28
The heat of atomisation is the amount of energy necessary to
dissociate one mole of a stable molecule into a single gaseous
atom, and it is measured in joules
H2 ( g )→ 2H (atom )

Residence Time
Effect: The flow rate of carrier gas (usually inert gases like
nitrogen or steam) in thermochemical processes can influence
the rate of reaction by helping to transport reactants through
the system or remove products. It also affects temperature
control and the residence time of reactants.

These cycles can turn waste heat and sunlight into green
hydrogen. However, they face challenges such as high energy
requirements, low loading of active material, and high
temperatures that can negatively affect the long-term
performance of materials.
