Thermochemical principles includes:
transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings
the enthalpy change for any process is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the steps into which the process can be divided
definition of the following terms: cH, fH, rH, vapH and fusH.
Heat
Heat is the transfer of energy from regions of high temperature to regions of low temperature.
As temperature is a measure of the movement of molecules (average kinetic energy), heat moves from regions of high thermal motion to a region where there is less thermal motion.
Enthalpy
When considering the heat change in chemical reactions we use a quantity called
enthalpy (H) which is a measure of the chemical potential energy stored in the
bonds of the substances involved.
Enthalpy
A change in enthalpy of a system is equal to the heat released or absorbed at constant
pressure. It is measured in kilojoules, kJ (or joules, J).
The change in enthalpy is given by rH, where
rH = Hfinal – H initial
= H products - H reactants
Enthalpy
Exothermic and Endothermic processes
For an exothermic reaction, heat is released and
rH < 0In this case the products are more stable because they contain less enthalpy than
they started with.
Enthalpy, H rH < 0
Products
This means the temperature of all species and the surroundings increases. All combustion reactions are exothermic.
This is shown in an energy profile diagram
Enthalpy
The chemical potential energy is not lost but is converted into increased kinetic energy of
all the particles (both reactants and products) and also transferred to the
surroundings.
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings because the enthalpy of the products is more than reactants and rH > 0. This means the
temperature of the system gets colder.
Dissolving may be endothermic or exothermic depending on the nature of the solute and solvent e.g. dissolving NH4NO3(s) in water is endothermic while dissolving conc H2SO4 is exothermic.
Exercise:
In the space below draw a labelled diagram for an endothermic reaction, showing reactants, products and rH.

At both its melting point and boiling point, even though the sample is being heated, temperature remains constant. All heat being added is used to break the forces holding the molecules in their solid or liquid states, rather than being converted into kinetic energy.

Could you explain looking at the graph why a drink stays cold while it contains ice cubes?
Molar heat of Fusion (∆fusH)
This is the energy required to change one mole of a substance from a solid to a liquid at the melting point.
H2O (solid at 0 oC) H2O (liquid at 0 oC) ∆fusH=6.0 kJmol-1
The ∆fusH gives an indication of the strength of forces holding the particles together in the solid phase
The melting and boiling points of a substance indicate the strength of the forces between the particles in the solid or liquid phases
Molar heat of vaporisation (∆vapH)
This is the energy required to change one mole of a substance from a liquid to a gas at the boiling point.
H2O (liquid at 100 oC) H2O (gas at 100 oC) ∆vapH = 41.0kJmol-1
The ∆vapH gives an indication of the strength of forces holding the particles together in the liquid phase
Enthalpies
We can’t measure enthalpies of reactants and products directly all we can measure are enthalpy changes.
Data books list the standard enthalpies of combustion and /or the standard enthalpy of formation for compounds.
These figures can be used to calculate the enthalpy change for other reactions
(∆cH 0) – Standard enthalpy (heat) of combustion
The standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change when one mole of the substance is completely burnt with all reactants and products in their standard states
Standard states are the states at room temperature (25oC) and pressure - that is O2 is a gas and water is H2O (l)
Enthalpy Definitions
C2H6(g) + 3 ½ O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) ∆cH 0 = -1557kJmol-1
Heats of combustion are always exothermic
(∆fH 0) – Standard enthalpy (heat) of formation
The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the enthalpy change when one mole of the substance is formed from its elements, with all the reactants and products in their standard states. 2C(s) + 3 H2(g) + ½ O2 (g) C2H5 OH(l)∆fHo= -278kJmol-1
Do you think these enthalpies of formation look strange if so why?
Data tables list heats of formation for compounds not elements - why? Think standard states
The standard enthalpy of formation for all elements is zero
Remember fH0 is the standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of one mole of substance from its elements in their most stable form at standard state. The units of fH0 are kJ mol-1 and the equation it refers to must have only one mole of product.
Note:
If 4C(s) + 6H2(g) + O2(g) 2C2H5OH (l) rH0 = -555 kJ
Then f H0 (C2H5OH, l) = -555 2 = - 277.5 kJ mol-1
Exercise - Write equations for the reactions which have the following enthalpies of combustion:
cH0 (H2, 25 oC) = -286 kJ mol-1
cH0 (CH3OH, 25 oC) = -726 kJ mol-1
H2(g) + ½ O2(g) H2O(l) ∆cH = -286kJmol-1
CH3OH(g) + 1 ½ O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) ∆cH = -726kJmol-1

ENERGY CALCULATIONS
Calculations involving thermochemical principles may include:
relating enthalpy changes to heat and mass, and use of specific heat capacity of water
application of ΣrH = Σ fH (products) - Σ fH (reactants)
application of Hess’s Law
use of average bond energies in enthalpy change calculations.
Measuring enthalpies of reaction – calorimetry
To measure enthalpy changes, the reaction is carried out in an insulated container (such as a polystyrene cup) and the temperature change is measured.
Using this temperature change, ΔT, and the value of the specific heat capacity, c, the amount of energy transferred to the mass m of substance can be calculated using the expression
E = m c ΔT
If the reaction takes place in an aqueous solution, and the solutions are placed in an insulated container then we can assume:
c =The specific heat capacity of the solutions is 4.18 J oC-1 g-1. The densities of these aqueous solutions can be taken as 1.0 g mL-1 so that 100 mL would have a mass of 100 g.
Calorimetry
25.0 mL of 1.0 mol L-1 HCl is placed in a polystyrene cup and its temperature is measured as 21.0 oC.
Following the addition of 25.0 mL of 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH solution, the mixture is stirred and the final temperature recorded as 27.8 oC.
Calculate the molar enthalpy change, ΔrH in kJ mol-1, for this
reaction.
(Note: If the temperature increases then the reaction is exothermic and ΔrH will be negative)
Exercise

Calculating Enthalpy From Heats of Formation
Given the enthalpies of formation of all the compounds in a given reaction, we can calculate the enthalpy of reaction using the following formula
ΣrH = ΣnfH (products) - ΣnfH (reactants)
(the symbol Σ means sum of)
Calculating Enthalpy From Heats of Formation
ΣrH = ΣnΔ fH (products) – ΣnΔ fH (reactants)
These calculations are straight forward providing you remember the following:
The formula only works if the heats of formation for all the compounds are used
Set your work out very carefully, paying particular attention to the + and - signs
Always check your answers!
What does the “n” stand for?
Example
Using the standard heats of formation of CO2(g), H2O(l), and C6H12O6(s), calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion of glucose.
fHo(CO2, g) = -394 kJ mol-1
fHo(H2O, l) = -286 kJ mol-1
fHo(C6H12O6, s) = -1268 kJ mol-1
fHo(CO2, g) = -394 kJ mol-1
fHo(H2O, l) = -286 kJ mol-1
fHo(C6H12O6, s) = -1268 kJ mol-1
Note - Start by writing an equation for the combustion of 1 mole of glucose.
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
rHo = nfHoproducts - nfHo
reactants
rHo = ( 6 x -394 + 6 x -286) - ( -1268 + 0)
= - 2812 kJ mol-1
Ethanoic acid can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol.
C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) CH3COOH(l) + H2O(l)
This reaction occurs when wine goes sour. By calculating the standard reaction enthalpy for this oxidation reaction, decide whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic given the following data:
fHo(H2O, l) = -286 kJ mol-1
fHo(CH3COOH, l) = -485 kJ mol-1
fHo(C2H5OH, l) = -278 kJ mol-1
rHo = nfHoproducts - nfHo
reactants
rHo = (- 485 + - 286) - (-278)
= - 493 kJ mol-1 Therefore exothermic

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
fHo(SO2, g) = -297 kJ mol-1
fHo(SO3, g) = -396 kJ mol-1
rHo = nfHoproducts - nfHo
reactants
rHo = (2 x -396) - (2 x -297)
rHo = (2 x -396) - (2 x -297)
= - 198 kJ mol-1

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
fHo(SO2, g) = -297 kJ mol-1 fHo(SO3, g) = -396 kJ mol-1

Hess’s Law
If an overall reaction can be broken down into a series of two or more steps, then the corresponding overall enthalpy of reaction is the sum of the enthalpies of the individual reaction steps.
None of the steps need to be a reaction that can be carried out in the laboratory.
Another way of saying this is that the energy difference depends only on the difference in energy between the reactants and products, not on the reaction path taken.
The process of photosynthesis is an endothermic process in which energy from the sun is trapped and stored in the bonds of glucose.
6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g) rH0 = +2808kJ mol-1
It is however easier to measure the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction, the combustion of glucose (i.e. the process of respiration).
C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) rH0 = -2808kJ mol-1
Remember if you reverse the reaction reverse the sign of rH0

Hess’s Lawillustrated
As a result of this principle of conservation of energy we can say:
Chemical reactions and their corresponding H values can be added , subtracted and multiplied as if they were algebraic equations
Another illustration of Hess’s law is:
C(s)
+ O2
CO2 (g)
+ ½ O2
In practice it is impossible to measure the value of H o3 (the heat of formation of CO(g)) directly as some CO2 gas is always formed as a by product.
However we can calculate it using Hess’s law.
H o 1= H o2 + H o3
H o1H o2
H o3+ ½ O2 (g) CO (g)
Using algebra and the following info find H o3
H o1 = -393kJmol-1 and H o2 = -282kJmol-1
Answer
H o 3 = H o1 - H o2
= -393 – (-282)

Solving Problems Using Hess’s Law
1.Write the data in the form of equations
2.Rewrite the equations to give the desired species on the correct side of the equation. If the reaction must be reversed (perhaps because we require a species to be a reactant and not a product) then the sign of the H must also be reversed.
3.Add the equations, and the H together

What kind of question can you expect in the exam?
Here’s a question from the 2000 exam
Don’t worry if the question isn’t in a form that you recognize immediately-
Remember always keep cool and think carefully!
Are you ready for a toughie?
Q5a. Shorter covalent bonds are stronger than longer covalent bonds as illustrated by the following bond enthalpies:
E C - H = 413 kJ mol-1
E C - Br = 285 kJ mol-1
E H - Br = 366 kJ mol-1
Circle the value below that is more likely to be the bond enthalpy for C- Cl
346 kJ mol-1
243 kJ mol-1
Justify your choice
Hint: compare the radius of the Cl atom with the Br atom by looking back on the handout chart on atom radius
E C - H = 413 kJ mol-1
E C - Br = 285 kJ mol-1
E H - Br = 366 kJ mol-1
Circle the value below that is more likely to be the bond enthalpy for C- Cl
346 kJ mol-1
243 kJ mol-1 Justify your choice
Ans: C- Cl bond is stronger because the Cl atom has a smaller radius than Br so there is stronger attraction between the nucleus and the bonded electrons / C-Cl bond is shorter than the C-Br bond
(Note : discussions involving electronegativity difference or bond polarity were considered to be irrelevant)

The contact process for the preparation of sulfuric acid begins with the conversion of sulfur to sulfur dioxide, followed by oxidation of the sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide
(1) S (s) + O2(g) SO2 (g) fHo (SO2) = -297 kJ mol -1
(2) 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2SO3 (g) rHo = -191 kJ mol -1

a. Is reaction 2 exothermic or endothermic?b. Use the information above to calculate fHo
(SO3,g)
This is what we want to find out
rHo = nfHoproducts - nfHo

-191 = 2fHoproducts - (-594)
Therefore fHo (SO3 g) = - 392.5kJ mol-1
(1) S (s) + O2(g) SO2 (g) -297
(2) 2 SO2 (s) + O2 (g) 2SO3 (g) rHo = -191 kJ mol -1
2 2 2 2 x = -594 kJ mol -1
-191 = 2fHoproducts + 594
(- 594 to bs) -785 = 2fHoproducts
(divide by 2) -392.5 = fHoproducts
(1) SO2 (s) + ½ O2 (g) SO3 (g) rHo = -95.5 kJ mol -1
(2) S (s) + O2(g) SO2 (g) rHo = -297 kJ mol -1
Or you could have used Hesses law adjusting each reaction to give 1 mole of product where necessary :
S (s) + 1½ O2 (g) SO3 (g) fHo = -392.5 kJ mol -1
You will know you are right when you end up with the balanced equation for the formation of SO3
Quite satisfying really don’t you think?
QUESTION ONE: SMELTING ZINC

ZnS(s) + 1 ½ O2(g) ZnO(s) + SO2(g) rH ° = – 441 kJ mol–1
Using the following information and the data above,
S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g) fH ° = – 297 kJ mol–1

NCEA Level 3 (Chemistry) 2004 — page 5 Students were able to interpret data and explain it in terms of the nature of the solid and the forces of attraction between the particles. At this level, candidates were able to write a response which linked their understanding of thermochemical principles to the question, rather than simply write all they knew about the topic.
Many candidates who completed other parts of the paper to at least merit level omitted Question Three (a), suggesting that they were unfamiliar with the concept of specific heat capacity. This is one of the thermochemical principles included in the explanatory notes for this standard. Candidates need to be reminded that in the case of fusH (H2O), it is
simply the melting of water and NOT the reaction to produce H2 and O2. A very high proportion of the candidates in this paper gave answers that conveyed the latter misconception.

Explain why the reaction
H2O(g) H2O(l) is exothermic
Energy is released when bonds are formed (between molecules).
Explain in full what is meant by ΔcH° (S(s)) = –297 kJ mol–1.
When one mole of sulfur is burned (completely) to produce SO2, 297 kJ of heat energy is released, when starting and
finishing conditions are 25 °C and 101.3 kPa (or at standard conditions).
Explain why ΔcH° (S(s)) = ΔfH
° (SO2(g)).
ΔfH°(SO2(g)) is the heat energy released or
absorbed when 1 mole of SO2 is formed from its
elements under standard condition. Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide from its elements so the two energy changes represent the same process.
