Effect of signs on spontaneity of a process

Another thermodynamic quantities that helps in predicting the spontaneity of a process is Gibbs free energy or Gibbs energy of Gibbs function. It is denoted by G and is given by the equation G=H -TS where H is the heat content ,T is the absolute temperature and S is the entropy of the system. G1 = H1 -TS1 for the initial state G2 = H2 -TS2 for the final … [Read more...] about Gibbs Free Energy

Entropy

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 2 Comments

Entropy Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder of the system. The greater the randomness, higher is the entropy. Solid state has the lowest entropy, the gaseous state has the highest entropy and the liquid state has the entropy in between the two. Entropy is a state function. The change in its value during a process, is called the entropy change. ΔS = S2 … [Read more...] about Entropy

Spontaneous and Non-spontaneous Process

Last Updated on May 3, 2020 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 1 Comment

A process which under some conditions may take place by itself or by initiation independent of the rate is called spontaneous process. A process which can take place by itself or has an urge or tendency to take place is called spontaneous process. A spontaneous process is simply a process which is feasible. The rate of the process may vary from extremely slow to … [Read more...] about Spontaneous and Non-spontaneous Process

Bond Enthalpy

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 2 Comments

Bond energy is the amount of energy released when 1 mole of bonds are formed from the isolated atoms in the gaseous state or the amount of energy required to dissociate one mole of bonds present between the atoms in the gaseous molecules. It is represented by Δ b H or Δbond H. For diatomic molecules like H2, O2, N2, Cl2, HCl, HF etc. the bond energies are equal to their … [Read more...] about Bond Enthalpy

Enthalpy Changes During Phase Transitions

Hess's Law

Enthalpy of fusion Enthalpy of fusion is the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of one mole of a solid substance into its liquid state at its melting point. it is also called molar enthalpy of fusion. The molar enthalpy of fusion ( Δ fus H ) of ice is +6 KJ mol-1. H2O ( s ) -----------> H2O ( l )  Δfus H = + 6 KJ mol-1 The enthalpy of freezing has … [Read more...] about Enthalpy Changes During Phase Transitions

Enthalpies Of Reaction

combustion of butane

Heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction is a term used for the heat changes accompanying any reaction. Enthalpy of combustion The enthalpy of combustion of a substance is defined as the heat change when 1 mole of substance is completely burnt or oxidised in oxygen. CH4 ( g ) + 2O2 ( g ) ----------------> CO2 ( g ) + 2H2O ( g )  ΔcH= -890.4 KJ mol -1 Reaction … [Read more...] about Enthalpies Of Reaction

Thermochemical Equation

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 1 Comment

When a balanced chemical equation not only indicates the quantities of the different reactants and products but also indicates the amount of heat evolved or absorbed, it is called thermochemical equation. Fractional coefficients may be used in writing a thermochemical equation. H2 ( g ) + ½ O2 ( g ) ---------> H2O ( l ) +285.8 KJ mol-1 H2 ( g ) + ½ O2 ( g ) … [Read more...] about Thermochemical Equation

Exothermic And Endothermic Reaction

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 1 Comment

Exothermic reactions These are those reactions which are accompanied by the evolution of heat. The quantity of heat produced is shown along with the products with a plus sign. For Ex: C ( s) + O2 (g) ------> CO2 ( g) + 395.3 kJ H2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) --------> H2O ( l ) + 285.8 KJ N2 ( g ) + 3 H2 ( g ) --------> 2 NH3 ( g ) + 92.4 KJ CH4 ( g ) + 2 O2 … [Read more...] about Exothermic And Endothermic Reaction

Measurement Of Change In Internal Energy and Enthalpy

Last Updated on May 3, 2020 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal Leave a Comment

Bomb calorimeter

The experimental technique of measuring energy changes accompanying any chemical or physical process is called calorimetry. These measurements are generally carried out under 2 condition 1) at constant volume ( ΔU or qv ) 2) at constant pressure ( ΔH or qp) Measurements of ΔU Internal energy change is measured experimentally using an apparatus called Bomb … [Read more...] about Measurement Of Change In Internal Energy and Enthalpy

Heat Capacity

Last Updated on May 3, 2020 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal 4 Comments

Relationship between Cp and Cv

Heat capacity of a system is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the system through 1°C . If q is the amount of heat supplied to a system and as a result ,if the temperature of the system rises from T1 and T2 ,then the heat capacity of the system is given by C = q / ( T2 -T1 ) C= q / Δ T Since the heat capacity varies with temperature … [Read more...] about Heat Capacity
