DEFINITION:
Reaction in which energy is taken in from surrounding, increasing energy level (temperature decreases)
EXAMPLE:

  • Burning
  • Neutralisation
  • Reaction between Water and Calcium Oxide
EXAMPLE:

  • Electrolysis
  • Thermal decomposition of Copper (II) Carbonate

CALORIMETRY EXPERIMENT FOR COMBUSTION:
s
CALORIMETRY EXPERIMENT - COMBUSTION
Diagram showing the Calorimetry Experiment for Combustion
METHOD:

  • Using a measuring cylinder, measure 100 cm3 of Water into a Copper can (copper provides efficient heat insulation)
  • Measure and record the initial temperature of Water
  • Filling the spirit burner with test substance, measure and record its mass
  • Place burner under Copper can and light the wick
  • Constantly stir the Water and continue heating until temperature rises by about 20 - 30°C, then B\blow out the flame
  • Measure and record the highest temperature of Water
  • Measure and record the final mass of burner and remaining Alcohol

CALCULATION:

Rise in Temperature of Water    =    Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

Mass of Alcohol Burnt     =    Initial mass - Final mass

CALORIMETRY EXPERIMENT - DISPLACEMENT, DISSOLVING AND NEUTRALISATION
Diagram showing Calorimetry Experiment for Displacement, Dissolving and Neutralisation
METHOD:

  • Using a measuring cylinder, measure 25 cm3 of Solution 1 into a Polystyrene cup
  • Measure and record the temperature of Solution 1
  • Add measured amount of reactant (solid for dissolving, solution 2 for displacement and neutralisation) into the Polystyrene cup and stir the mixture
  • Measure and record the highest temperature reached by mixture

CALCULATION:

Rise in Temperature    =    Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

Mass of Solution  =  Solution 1 + Solution 2  OR Solution 1 if solid is dissolved

3.3: Calculate the Heat Energy Change from a Measured Temperature Change Using the Expression Q = mc△T



HEAT ENERGY CHANGE:

Data from calorimetry experiment can be used to calculate the heat energy change of a reaction:

EQUATION:

* m = Mass of Water or volume of Water


*If Water is not used, this is replaced by mass or volume of other solutions

Example:
s
Energy from burning 0.5 g of Propane was transferred to 100 cm3 of Water to raise its temperature by 20°C. Calculate the heat energy change (in KJ)
s
Mass of Water =     100 cm3

Heat Capacity of Water =     4.2 j / g

Temperature Rise     =     20°C


Energy Transferred     =     100    x    4.2    x    20    =    8400 J

*1000 J = 1 KJ

So 8400 J   =  8.4 KJ

                                                                                      Energy Transferred = 8.4 KJ

3.4: Calculate the Molar Enthalpy Change (△H) from the Heat Energy Change, Q

Example:


Energy from burning 0.5 g of Propane was transferred to 100 cm3 of Water to raise its temperature by 20°C. Calculate the molar enthalpy change (in KJ / Mol)
s
Mass of Water =     100 cm3

Heat Capacity of Water =     4.2 j / g

Temperature Rise     =     20°C


Energy Transferred     =     100    x    4.2    x    20    =    8400 J


*1000 J = 1 KJ

So 8400 J   =  8.4 KJ


Mr of Propane = 44

Moles of Propane Burned     =     0.5     ÷     44     =     0.01136

Molar Enthalpy Change     =     8.4     ÷     0.01136     =     739


Reaction is exothermic so enthalpy change needs to be Negative

                                                                    Molar Enthalpy Change = - 739 KJ / Mol

Diagram showing the Enthalpy Change during an Endothermic Reaction
DEFINITION:
Reaction in which energy is given out to surroundings, decreasing energy level (temperature increases)

DEFINITION:
Reaction in which energy is taken in from surroundings, increasing energy level (temperature decreases)

EXPLANATION:

  • During an exothermic reaction, energy is given out to surroundings
  • Therefore, the energy of products will be lower than the energy of reactants, having -△H (this is represented in energy-level diagram above)

EXPLANATION:

  • During an endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from surroundings
  • Therefore, the energy of products will be higher than the energy of reactants, having +△H (this is represented in energy-level diagram above)

3.6C: Know that Bond-Breaking is an Endothermic Process and that Bond-Making is an Exothermic Process



ENDOTHERMIC AND EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS
s
Whether reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds form

ENDOTHERMIC:


  • If more energy is absorbed than it releases, reaction is Endothermic as more energy is absorbed to break bonds

3.7C: Use Bond Energies to Calculate the Enthalpy Change during a Chemical Reaction



BOND ENERGY: Energy required to break a bond
s
METHOD:
s
  • Add all bond energies for all the bonds in reactant - this is the ‘energy in’
  • Add all bond energies for all the bonds in products - this is the ‘energy out’
  • Calculate the energy change: energy in - energy out
s
EQUATION:


Energy Change     =     Energy In     -     Energy Out

Example: An Exothermic Reaction


Hydrogen and Chlorine reacts to form Hydrogen Chloride Gas:



H - H   +   Cl - Cl    →    2    x    (H - Cl)
s

Table below shows the bond energies relevant to this reaction:


BOND
BOND ENERGY ( KJ / MOLE )
    H - H
    436
    Cl - Cl
    243
    H - Cl
    432

Energy In    =     436     +     243    =    679 KJ / Mole

Energy Out     =    2    x    243    =    864 KJ / Mole

Energy Change    =    679    -    864    =    -185 KJ / Mole

*Energy change is negative, therefore showing that more energy is given out to the surroundings than taken in, indicating that this is an Exothermic Reaction

Example: An Endothermic Reaction


Hydrogen Bromide Decomposes to Form Hydrogen and Bromine:



2   x   ( H - Br )    →    H - H    +    Br - Br
s

Table below shows the bond energies relevant to this reaction:


BOND
BOND ENERGY ( KJ / MOLE )
    H - Br
    366
    H - H
    436
    Br - Br
    193


Energy In    =     2     x     366    =    732 KJ / Mole

Energy Out     =    436    +    193    =    629 KJ / Mole

Energy Change    =    732    -    629    =    +103 KJ / Mole

*Energy change is positive, therefore showing that more energy is taken in from the surroundings than is given out, indicating that this is an Endothermic Reaction
