A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapor when the average rate of molecules leaving the liquid equals the rate joining. Equilibrium Temperature, Pressure ?
Melting Curve for Water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Melting_curve_of_water.jpg
For condensed phases: Temperature, Composition Pressure
One mole = 6.022 x 1023 units, close to the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Close-up_of_mole.jpg
Oxidation and Reduction Reactions Oxidation involves loss of electrons, Reduction involves gain of electrons: OIL RIG 2Fe + O2 = 2 FeO iron loses electrons, oxidized 4 FeO + O2 = 2 Fe2O3 oxygen gains electrons, reduced Fe++ Fe+++ Mn + S = MnS Ca + S = CaS Zn + Cl2 = ZnCl2 SiO2 + 2 Ca = 2CaO + Si Ca oxidized, Si reduced
C + O2 = CO2 DG0 = DH0 - T DS0 DH0 = - 169,300 Btu/ lb mole at standard conditions DH0 = - 393,000 J / mole British thermal units per pound mole: Btu/lbmol = 2.32601 J/mol
C + O2 = CO2 C 2C + O2 = 2 CO (-)
Reversible and irreversible reactions Reversible: NH3 + H2O = NH4OH H2O (liquid) = H2O (gas) Practically Irreversible: 4Al + 3O2 = 2Al2O3 Reactions may be irreversible when a solid or gaseous reaction product is removed. ZnO + CO = Zn (Vapor) + CO2
Influencing Speed of Reactions Nature of reactants: H2 + O2vs H2 + N2 State of subdivision , surface area available Temperature Catalysis: Fe surface for 2CO = CO2 + C Concentration
Le Chatelier’s Principle A system originally in equilibrium will respond to a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration in a manner reducing the change NH4OH(H2O) = NH3 + H2O Consider change in T, P, C, catalyst
Heat Transfer Mechanisms: Convection Conduction Radiation
Heats of Phase Change Latent heat of fusion: significant change in potential energy Latent heat of vaporization: much larger change in potential energy Heating a gram of material 1 K with no change in phase: relatively small change in kinetic energy Relative values for water
Summary: A change in valance state: oxidation or reduction, OIL RIG Exothermic chemical reactions liberate heat Endothermic reactions absorb heat Reactions generally proceed to equilibrium The rate of approach depends on the nature of the reactants, their state of subdivision, temperature, catalysts, and concentration If a system in equilibrium is perturbed it responds to lessen the change Heat represents a quantity of energy Temperature represents an intensity and indicates the direction of heat transfer
