ENTHALPY ∆H AND INTERNAL ENERGY ∆E INTERNAL ENERGY • Internal energy is the sum total of all kinetic and potential energy within the system. It denoted as U or E. The internal energy of the system has two components according to definition, these are kinetic energy and potential energy. • Kinetic energy component K.E consist of various types of the molecular motion and the movement of electron within the molecule. • Potential energy component P.E determined by attraction interaction between electron and nuclei and by repulsion interaction between electron and nuclei in individual molecules Cont… It is impossible to measure all these contributions accurately, so we cannot calculate the total energy of the system with any certainty. Changes in energy, on other hand, can be determined experimentally. Changes in the value of e and its relationship to other thermodynamic quantities are therefore used. E is a state function, as a specific system has a specific value at any given temperature and pressure. Thermodynamics therefore only deals with changes in E, denoted as ∆E. Cont… The first law of thermodynamics states that “the total energy of an isolated thermodynamic system is constant”. The law is often referred to as the conservation of energy, and implies the popular interpretation of the first law, namely that “energy cannot be created or destroyed”. In other words, energy may be lost from a system in only two ways, either as work or as heat. Cont... As a result of this, it is possible to describe a change in the total internal energy as the sum of energy lost or gained as work and heat, since ∆E cannot change in any other way. Thus, for a finite change: ∆E=q + w Where q is the heat supplied to the system w is the work done on the system. Internal energy ∆E is the sum of heat exchange between the system and the surrounding and the work done on or by the system ENTHALPY • The enthalpy change is the heat exchanged by the system under conditions of constant pressure. For a reaction involving a perfect gas, in which heat is generated or taken up, ∆H is related to ∆E by: ∆H=∆E+P∆V • Enthalpy is a state function because it depends only in the initial and final state or internal energy, pressure and volume are state function. Mathematically: Consider the process carried out at constant P where the only work allowed is pressure-volume work w=-P∆V ∆E=q+w ∆E=qp-P∆V qp=∆E+P∆V Cont… Where the subscript “p” denoted as constant pressure condition. We introduce a new thermodynamic function of a system called enthalpy (H). In a chemical reaction, the enthalpy change is equal to the difference in enthalpy between the reactants and products: ∆H(Reaction)=ΣH(Products) −ΣH(Reactants). The heat exchanged by a system at constant pressure is equal to the sum of the internal energy change of that system and the work done by the system in expanding against the constant external pressure. Cont…

exchange in a system at constant pressure qp=∆H ∆H=∆E+P∆V THE COMPARISON BETWEEN ∆H AND ∆E i. Reaction that do not involve gases. Gases do not appear in many reactions (precipitation, many acid- base and many redox reaction) For example, 2KOH (aq) +H2SO4(aq)→K2SO4(aq)+H2O(l) Since liquids and solids undergo very small volume changes, ∆V≈0, so P∆V≈0 and ∆H=∆E Cont… ii. Reaction in which the amount (mole) of gas does not changes. When the total amount of gaseous reactant equal to the amount of gaseous product, ∆V=0, so P∆V=0 and ∆E=∆H. For example, N2g +O2g →NO2g Cont… iii. Reaction in which the amount of gases does change.in this cases, P∆V≠0. however, qp is usually much larger than P∆V. foresentences, in the combustion OF H2, 3mole of gas yield 2mole. 2H2g+O2g →2H2Og In this reaction ∆H=-483.6kjmole-1 and the P∆V=-2.5kjmole-1, so from equation we get ∆E=∆H-P∆V=-483.6+(-2.5) =-481.1 kjmole-1 Obviously most of ∆E occurs as interfere, so ∆H≈∆E. The key point to realize from three cases is that for many reaction ∆H is equals, or is very close to ∆E. END
