Thermochemistry : 9.3 Born-Haber Cycle

  • First Ionization Energy (IE1)
    • Energy required for 1 mol of gaseous atom to lose 1 mol of electrons.

  • Affinity Electron (EA) 
    • Energy change that occurs when 1 mol of gaseous atom gains 1 mol of electrons.

  • Lattice Energy
    • Energy change when 1 mol of solid ionic compound formed from its gaseous ions

  • Magnitude Lattice Energy
    • Indicates the strength of ionic bonding
    • The more negative lattice energy, the stronger ionic bonding
    • It influences : 
      • Melting point
      • Hardness
      • Solubility

  • Determining Lattice Energy
    • Lattice energy cannot be measured directly.
      • Can be calculated by Born-Haber cycle

  • Born-Haber Cycle
    • A series of chosen steps from elements to ionic compound for which all the enthalpies are known , except lattice energy.
      ΔHf = sum of ΔHo for multistep path
    • Calculation Step

    Example : LiF

    Overall : Formation of LiF compound
        Li(s) + ½ F2(g)     LiF(s)        ΔHo
    overall = 617 kJ
            ΔHooverall = ΔHof
    Step 1 :- atomization of lithium
        Li(s)     Li(g)                ΔHf = 161 kJ
            ΔH1o = ∆Hoatom or ∆Ho sublim

    Step 2 :- atomization of fluorine
        ½ F2(g)     F(g)             ∆H2o = 79.5 kJ
            ∆H2o = ∆Ho atom

    Step 3 :- ionization of lithium atom
        Li(g)         Li+(g) + e-         ∆H3o = 520 kJ
            ∆H3o = IE1

    Step 4 :- Electron affinity of F atom
        F(g) + e-     F- (g)            ∆H4o = -328 kJ
            ∆H4o = EA

    Step 5 :- Formation of LiF(s) from its gaseous ions
        Li+(g) + F-(g)         LiF(s)        ∆H5o = ?
            ∆H5o = ∆Holattice of LiF

  • Factors Affecting Lattice Energy
    • From Coulomb's Law
                             ΔE  α  (n+Q+)(n-Q-)
                                                    ---------------------------                                                          
                                                d

∆H : electrostatic energy
n+ : number
of positive charge
n- : number of negative charge 
Q+ : electrostatic charge (+)
Q- : electrostatic charge (-)
d : distance between the ions = r+ + r- (radius of ions)
  • Ionic bond strength increase when
    • Q, charge (Q) increase
    • Size of atoms (d) decrease
  • Hydration Process of Ionic Crystal in Water
    • 2 main process 
      • Breaking lattice energy of ionic crystal
      • Solvation (hydration)

Thermochemistry : 9.2 Hess Law


  • Hess's Law of Heat Summation
When reactants are converted to products, the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction take step in one step or in a series of step.

    ΔH1 =ΔH2 + ΔH3
  • Application Using Hess's Law
    • To find ΔH of any reaction for which we can write on equation, even if it is impossible to carry out.
    • Two methods of calculation
      • Algebraic method
      • Energy cycle method
  • Algebraic Method
    • Important steps:
      • Identify the target equation whose ΔH unknown.
      • Rearrange the equations given mole of reactants and products are on the correct side.
      • Add the equation to obtain the target equation all other substances must cancel.
  • Standard Enthalpy of Formation (ΔHf)
    • Heat change when 1 mol of a compound is produced from its elements in their standard states.
  • ΔHf
    of Elements
    • In its standard states
  • ΔHf of Compounds
    • Most compound have negative ΔHf
      • The compound is more stable than its components elements.
  • Determining ΔHrxn From ΔHf
    aA + bB = cC + dD

    Hrxn = [cΔHf (C) + dΔHf (D) – aΔHf (A) + bΔHf (B)]

    Hrxn = ( sum of ΔHf of all of the products ) – ( sum of ΔHf of all of the reactant )

Thermochemistry : 9.1 Concept of Enthalpy

Heat
-The energy transferred between a system and surrounding.

System
-Part of universe whose change we are going to observe.

Surrounding
-The rest of the universe outside the system.

Exothermic
-Gives off heat.
-From the system to the surroundings.
-Ex : 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) + energy

Endothermic
-Absorbs heat.
-From the surrounding to the system.
-Ex : energy + 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

Enthalpy
-Used to quantify the heat flow into or out of system in a process that occurs at constant pressure.

Enthalpy Change, ΔH
-Heat given off or absorbed during a reaction at constant pressure.
-ΔH = H(Products) – H(Reactants)
-Exothermic : H(Products) < H(Reactants)
-Endothermic : H(Products) > H(Reactants)

Enthalpy/Energy Profile Diagram

-Energy profile diagram for an exothermic reaction.

Units of Energy
-S.I. unit : Joule(J) [1J = 1kgm2/s2]
-Older unit : Calorie(cal) [1cal = 4.184J]

Some Important Types of Enthalpy Change(ΔH)
-Ex : Heat of combustion(ΔH comb)
            Heat of formation(ΔH f)
            Heat of neutralization(ΔH neut)
-Unit : kJ/mol
Enthalpy of Combustion(ΔH comb)
-Heat released when 1 mole of a substance completely combusted in oxygen gas.
-Ex : C4H10(l) + 13/2O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 5H2O(l) ΔH = ΔH comb

Enthalpy of Formation(ΔH f)
-Heat change when 1 mole of a compound is produced from its elements.
-Ex : K(s) + 1/2Br2(l) → KBr(s) ΔH = ΔHf

Enthalpy of Atomization(ΔHatom)
-Heat absorbed when 1 mole of gaseous atom is formed from its element.
-Ex : 1/2H2(g) → H(g) ΔH = ΔHatom
Na(s) → Na(g) ΔH = ΔHatom

Enthalpy of Neutralization(ΔH neut)
-Heat released when 1 mole of water formed when acid reacts with base.
-Ex : HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) ΔH = ΔHneut
HNO3(aq) + 1/2Ba(OH)2(aq) → 1/2Ba(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) ΔH = ΔHneut

Enthalpy of Solution(ΔHsoln)
-Heat change when 1 mole of solute dissolves in solvent/water to form infinite dilute solution.
-Ex : NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = ΔHsoln

Enthalpy of Hydration(ΔHhyd)
-Heat released when 1 mole of gaseous ion is hydrated in aqueous solution.
-Ex : Na+(g) → Na+(aq) ΔH = ΔHhyd

Enthalpy of Sublimation(ΔHsublim)
-Heat absorbed when 1 mole of substance in solid state sublimed.
-Ex : I2(s) → I2(g) ΔH = ΔHsublim
CO2(s) → CO2(g) ΔH = ΔHsublim
K(s) → K(g) ΔH = ΔHsublime = ΔHatom

ΔH°rxn or ΔH°(kJ/mol)
-Standard enthalphy of reaction.
-the enthalpy change of a reaction carried out at standard state (1 atm)
-standard enthalpy of formation, ΔH°f
-standard enthalpy of combustion, ΔH°comb
Standard enthalpy of neutralization, ΔH°neut

Standard states
-Gas: 1 atm & behave ideally
-Aqueous solution: 1 M
-Pure substance (element/compound): Most stable form of substance at 1 atm and temperature (usually 25°C)

Standard states of pure substance: oxygen,O2, H2, Na(s), Br2, H2O(l), NaCl(s)

Specific Heat Capacity (c)
-Amount of heat (q) required to raise temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 K (1°C)
c=q/mΔT
ΔT = Tfinal-Tinitial
-unit: Jg-1K-1/Jg-1°C-1

Molar Heat Capacity
-Amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 mol of a substance by 1 K/1°C
-unit: JK-1/J°C-1
C=mc    C=q/ΔT   q=CΔT

Calorimeter
-Device used to measure the heat released (or absorbed) by a physical or a chemical process.
Ø  Constant-pressure                                               
l  Coffee-cup calorimeter
Ø  Constant-volume
l  Bomb calorimeter

Bomb calorimeter
-To measure heat released in combustion reaction .

How bomb calorimeter works
-With continual stirring, the initial temperature of preweighed water bath is noted.
-The sample is ignited electrically.
-Heat released from the combustion reaction is transferred to the rest of the calorimeter.
-The maximum temperature is measured.

Calculation of ΔHrxn
qsys=qwater+qcal+qrxn
No heat enters/leaves the system
qsys=0
qrxn=-(qcal+qwater)
qwater=mcΔT
qcal=CcalΔT
Reaction at constant volume ΔH≈qrxn

Coffee-cup calorimeter
-To measure heat released in non-combustion reaction such as heat of neutralization &heat of solution.
-constant pressure calorimeter
-the process is opened to the laboratory atmosphere.
-no heat enters or leaves.

How coffee-cup calorimeter works
-The calorimeter consists of a known mass of water (or solution) in an insulated container equipped with a thermometer and a stirrer.
-Tinitial of water is measured
-The process takes place (addition of acid and base or soluble salt, etc)
-Contents are stirred.
-Tfinal of water is measured.

Calculation of ΔHrxn
qsys=qsoln+qcal+qrxn
No heat enters or leaves the system
qsys=0
qrxn=-(qsoln+qcal)
qsoln=mcΔT
qcal=CcalΔT
Reaction at constant P
ΔH=qrxn
Assume specific heat capacities &density same like water.

Sign of ΔH
-Depends on reaction is exothermic or endothermic
 -ve: exothermic                      +ve: endothermic
-A forward reaction has a opposite sign of the reverse reaction

Magnitude of ΔH
-Proportional to amount of substance reacting or produced.
2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) ΔH=-572kJ
H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → H2O(l) ΔH=-286kJ
 -286kJ if thermodynamically equivalent to 1 mole of H2
 -286kJ is thermodynamically equivalent to 1/2 mole of O2
 -286kJ is thermodynamically equivalent to 1 mole of H2O
