Thermodynamics matters in Catalysis because

Thermodynamics determines the maximum extentof any given reaction

The reaction rate decreases withapproach to thermodynamic equilibrium

Heat release or uptake by chemical reactions leads tocomplex non-isothermal reactor behavior

Adsorption/Desorption thermodynamics determines theconcentration of adsorbed species and in turn the rate of surface reactions (e.g. Langmuir Hinshelwood rate expressions)

The kinetics of elementary steps are related to theirthermodynamics

The standard enthalpy of formation Hf° or standard heat of formation of acompound is the change of enthalpy that accompanies the formation of 1mole of the compound from its elements, with all substances in their standardstates. The standard state of a gas is the (hypothetical) ideal gas at 1bar and298.15K. For liquids and solids it is the pure substance at 1bar and 298.15K.

4.2 Example: Calculate the equilibrium composition of a steam reformingmixture consisting of CH4, H2O, CO, CO2 and H2 at T=1000K and p=1bar. n0,CH4=2mol, n0,H2O=3mol. Ideal gases can be assumed.

From thermodynamic tables (e.g. CRC Handbook) we extract:

Species CH4 H2O CO CO2 H2Gf° (1000K) / Jmol-1 19475 -192603 -200281 -395865 0

Species CH4 H2O CO CO2 H2# of C atoms aC,CH4=1 aC,H2O=0 aC,CO=1 aC,CO2=1 aC,H2=0# of O atoms aO,CH4=0 aO,H2O=1 aO,CO=1 aO,CO2=2 aO,H2=0# of H atoms aH,CH4=4 aH,H2O=2 aH,CO=0 aH,CO2=0 aH,H2=2
