  1. Enthalpy Changes in Chemical Reactions #4

  2. Enthalpy Enthalpy (H) • The “heat content” of a substance • It is the total KE and PE of a substance at constant pressure • KE + PE = constant (enthalpy)

  3. Kinetic & Potential Energy • KE: it is the energy of MOTION… ex; atoms and electrons moving within the molecules, or in the entire system (reaction) • PE: energy existing due to position and the sum of all attractions/repulsions between particles. PE is directly related to BOND energies.

  4. Bond energy • Bond energy is the amount of energy required to break/form a bond between two atoms. Ex:

  5. Enthalpy changes • Chemists interested in enthalpy changes (H ) • H = H products- H reactants

  6. Enthalpy Vs Rxn Proceeding

  7. Exothermic Reactions • H2 + S ---> H2S H = - 20 KJ • negative H means exothermic • H2 + S ---> H2S +

  8. Endothermic Reactions • CH3OH C(s) + 2H2(g) + ½ O2(g) H = + 201 KJ • positive H means endothermic • CH3OH +  C(s) + 2H2(g) + ½ O2(g)

  9. Provincial Exam Questions

  10. Kinetic Energy Distributions • In general, molecules at R.T and pressure undergo about 10^10 collisions/second! Yet, there are only so many successful collisions…

  11. KE Vs Number of Molecules

  12. KE Distributions • Increased Temperature= increased number of molecules that have enough energy to react/cross the activation energy barrier successfully. Yes, collisions would also increase, but only 1% more collisions for every 10C increase in Temp.

  13. Activation Energy • The minimum potential energy needed in a collision before a reaction can take place. • It can also be defined as the minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to have a “successful” collision.

  14. Activation Energy Graph

  15. At the start of a rxn, most energy is stored as kinetic energy. • As molecules approach each other, electrons on the outer shells start to repel one another; slowing down and causing an increase in PE

  16. If enough PE is gained, bonds can be broken/made and we form an activated complex. • After the rxn, the new products start repelling each other, moving away, increasing speed and KE, therefore decreasing PE.
