AP Chemistry 6: Thermodynamics Name ______

A. Enthalpy (H): Bond Energy (5.3 to 5.5, 8.8)

1. chemical reactions typically involve breaking bonds between reactant atoms and forming new bonds

2. breaking bonds takes energy \ chemical system gains bond energy; surroundings lose energy (heat, etc.)

3. forming bonds releases energy \ chemical system loses energy, surroundings gain energy

4. change in energy called “change in enthalpy”—DH

a. when energy required to break bonds > energy released to form new bonds, +DH (endothermic)

1. products at a higher energy state than reactants (weaker bonds)

2. surroundings lose energy (cool down)

b. when energy required to break bonds < energy released to form new bonds, –DH (exothermic)

1. products at a lower energy state than reactants (stronger bonds)

2. surroundings gain energy (heat up)

5. thermochemical equation

a. chemical equation with DH

1. listed to the right of equation

2. included as reactant (endothermic) or product (exothermic)

b. DH can be used in dimensional analysis process

6. DH from calorimetry

a.  reactants are put in an insulated container filled with water, where heat is exchanged between reactants and water, but no heat is lost

b.  by conservation of energy: DHreaction = –Qwater

1. Q = mcDT for simple coffee cup calorimeter—aqueous reactions

a. m = mass of water

b. c = specific heat of water (4.18 J/g•K)

c. DT = change in temperature (Tf – Ti)

temperature can stay in oC, since

1 oC = 1 K (don't add 273 to DToC!)

2. Q = (C + mc)DT for “bomb" calorimeter

a. C = “bomb constant” accounts for all non-water components that change temperature

b. all other letters are the same as the simple calorimeter

7. DH using bond energy (B.E.) data
