Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry which deals with the thermal or heat changes caused by chemical reactions.

Specific heat (s)
Amount of energy required to raise the temp by 1ºC of 1 gm of a substance.
Unit → J/kg-K

Heat Capacity (ms)
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature by 1ºC or 1K of a given amount of a substance.
Units → J/K
Total heat given to increase the temperature by Δt.
q = msΔt

Molar Heat Capacity (Cm)
The amount of heat required to raise the temp by 1º of 1 mole of a substance.

Classification of Molar heat Capacity
(a) Molar heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp,m)
(b) Molar heat capacity at constant volume (Cv,m)

Relation between Cp and Cv
Cp - Cv = R (Mayor's formula)

Rules for Thermochemical Equation
(1) It is necessary to mention physical state of all reactants and products.

(2) A → B, ΔH = HB - HA
If A → B x kJ/mole
ΔH < 0 → (Exothermic reaction)
ΔH = -x kJ/mole
If A x kJ/mole → B
ΔH > 0 → (Endothermic reaction)
ΔH = + x kJ/mole

(3) After reversing a thermochemical eqn then sign of enthalpy also get changed.
Example:
A(g) + B(g) → C(g) + D(g) , ΔH = x kJ
C(g) + D(g) → A(g)+ B(g) , ΔH = - x kJ

(4) When two reactions are added their enthalpies are also get added with their sign.
Example:
A(g) + B(g) → C(g)  D(g) ΔH = x1 kJ
C(g) + E(g) → F(g) ΔH = - x2 kJ
A(g) + B(g) + E(g) → D(g) + F(g) , ΔH = x1- x2

(5) If a thermochemical equation is multiplied by a number then DH is multiplied by the same number.
Example:
A(g) + B(g) → C(g) + D(g) ΔH = x1 kJ
2A(g) + 2B(g) → 2C(g) + 2D(g) ΔH = 2x1 kJ

Intensive Property
The property which does not depend upon the mass of substance is called intensive property.
Example: density, refractive index, specific heat, etc.

Extensive Property
Mass dependent properties are called extensive properties
Example:
ΔH, ΔS, ΔG, V, U, Resistance, Number of moles etc.
* Two extensive property can be added
* Ratio of two extensive properties is Intensive.
* Intensive properties can not be added directly.
Example: We can not add the density of two liquids to get the density of the final mixture of the two.

Enthalpy (H)
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET
ΔH = ΔU +Δ(PV) = ΔU (P2V2 - P1V1)
(i) At constant Pressure, ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
(ii) At Constant Volume, ΔH = ΔU + VΔP

  • Enthalpy of ideal gas is function of temperature only.
    H = U +PV
    = U +nRT
  • Enthalpy is always defined at constant temperature and it varies with variation in temperature.

For ideal gas, ΔH = ΔU + Δ(PV)
= ΔnCVT +ΔnRT = ΔnT(CV + R)
→ ΔH = Δn CpT
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET
Where Δng = no. of moles of gaseous product - no. of moles of gaseous reactant.

Kirchoff's Equation
This gives the relation between enthalpy and temperature.

  • Physical state is changed at constant temperature.

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

According to Hess'Law
ΔH2  + Cp(T2-T1) = ΔH1 + Cp1 (T2- T1)
ΔH2 - ΔH1 = (Cp1 - Cp) (T2- T1)
= ΔCp (T2- T1)

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

Where
ΔCp = Molar heat capacity of product -- Molar heat capacity of reactant
Example:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇒ 2NH3(g)
ΔCp = 2Cp(NH3) - Cp(N2) - 3Cp(H2)

  • If the above formula (Kirchoff's eqn) is to be written for molar heat capacity at constant volume then

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

  •  If ΔCp is function of temperature
    ΔCp = T+ T
    Then
     Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

Heat of formation
Enthalpy change during the formation of 1 mole of a compound form its most stable common occurring form (also called reference states) of elements is called heat of formation.
C(s)  + O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g)
ΔH = ΔHf(CO2)
CO(g)  + 1/2O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g)
ΔH ≠ ΔHCO2(g)
(because CO2 has not been formed form its element in their most stable form)

Enthalpy At Standard State :-(ΔHº)
T = 25ºC = 298 K
P = 1 atm
Conc = 1M
ΔHº = Heat of formation at standard state
If A(g) + B(g) ⇒ C(g +D(g) is any reaction, Heat of reaction for any thermochemical equation can be written as

ΔHº = DHfº(product) - DHfº(Reactant)
If we use the above concept for the above given reaction then
ΔHº = DHfº(c) + ΔHfº(D) - ΔHfº(A) + ΔHfº(B)

Assumption :-
The heat of formation of most stable form of an element is taken as zero.
C(graphite)  + O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g)
ΔHº = ΔHfº(CO2) - ΔHfºC(s) - ΔHfº(O2)(g)
⇒ ΔHº = ΔHfº(CO2) (As ΔHfºC(s) = 0 and Δ HfºO2(g) = 0)
Another example can be taken as
H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) ⇒ H2O(l)

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

Example 1. From the following data,
C(s, graphite)  O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g)   DHº = -393.5 kJ/mole
H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) ⇒ H2O(l)   DHº = -286 kJ/mole
2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) ⇒ 4CO2(g)  6H2O(l) ΔHº = -3120 kJ/mole
Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of C2H6(g) (in kJ/mole)
Solution. From eqn(1) ΔHfº(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mole
From eqn(2) ΔHfº(H2O) = -286 kJ/mole
From eqn (3) ΔrHº = 4 ΔHfº(CO2) + 6ΔHfº(H2O) -2 ×ΔHfº(C2H6) - 7×ΔHfºO2(g) - 3120
= 4 ×(-393.5) + 6×(-286) - 2×ΔHfº(C2H6) (As ΔHfº O2(g) = 0)
⇒ -3120 = -1574 -1716 - 2 ×ΔHfº(C2H6)
⇒ -3120 + 3290 = - 2 ×ΔHfº(C2H6)
⇒ 170 = - 2 ×ΔHfº(C2H6)
⇒ ΔHfº = - 85 kJ/mole

Heat of Combustion
It is the enthalpy change (always -ve) when One mole of the substance undergo complete combustion.
C(s)  + O2 ⇒ CO2(g)
ΔHº = ΔHCºC(s) = ΔHfº(CO2) - ΔHfºC(s) - ΔHfº(O2)
ΔHº = = ΔHC ºC(s) = ΔHfº(CO2)
Other example

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

Note:
Heat of combustion is always exothermic

  •  N2 + O2 ⇒ 2NO

(It is an endothermic reaction)

  • O2  + F2 ⇒ OF2

(Since O has normally tendency to accept electron and opposite is happening above hence reaction is is considered endothermic)

  •  Heat of reaction for any thermochemical equation can be written as (in form of heat of combustion)

ΔHrº = Heat of combustion of reactant - Heat of combustion of reactant.
ΔHrº = ΔHCº (Reactant) - ΔHCº (Product)

Example 2. The enthalpy change for the reaction
C3H8(g) + H2(g) ⇒ C2H6(g) + CH4(g) at 25ºC is - 55.7 kJ/mole calculate the enthalpy of combustion of C2H6(g). The enthalpy of combustion of H2, and CHare - 285.8 and - 890.0 kJ/mole respectively. Enthalpy of combustion of propane is -2220 KJmol-1.
Solution. As we know any thermochemical eqn can be written in terms of heat of combustion as follows
ΔHrº = ΔHcº (Reactant) - ΔHCº (Product)
ΔHrº = ΔHcº (C3H8) +ΔHCº (H2) - {ΔHcº(C2H6)+ ΔHCº(CH4)}
- 55.7 = (-2220 - 285.8) - {-890 +ΔHcº(C2H6)}
⇒ ΔHcº(C2H6) (g) = - 1560.1 kJmol-1

Problems Based on Both HOC and HOF:
Example 3. At 300K, the standard enthalpies of formation of C6H5COOH(s), CO2(g) and H2O(l) are -408, -393 and -286 kJmol-1 respectively. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of benzoic acid at
(i) constant pressure
(ii) constant volume.
Solution. 7C(s)  + 3H2(g)+ O2(g) ⇒ C6H5COOH(s)  ΔHº = -408 kJ
⇒ ΔHfº(C6H5COOH) = - 408 kJ
C(s)  + O2(g) ⇒ CO2(g) ΔHº = -393 kJ
⇒ ΔHfº(CO2) = -393 kJ
H2(g)  + 1/2O2(g) ⇒ H2O(l) ΔHº = -286 kJ
⇒ ΔHfº(H2O) = -286 kJ
C6H5COOH(s)  + 15/2O2(g) ⇒ 7CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)
⇒ ΔHCº(C6H5COOH) = 7 ΔHfºCO2 + 3ΔHfº(H2O) - 4ΔHfº(C6H5COOH)
= 7 ×(-393) +3× (-286)- 4(408)
ΔHCº(C6H5COOH) = - 3609 408
= -3201 kJ/mol
⇒ enthalpy of combustion at constant pressure = - 3201 kJ mol-1
Also
ΔH = ΔU  + ΔngRT
-3201 = ΔU + (-0.5) × 8.31 × 10-3 × 300
(As Δn = 0.5, R = 8.314 × 10-3 kJ)
⇒ ΔU = - 3201 + 1.2471
ΔU = -3199.7529
⇒ enthalpy of combustion at constant volume = - 3199.7529

Bond Energy
It is defined for gaseous molecules. "The enthalpy change during the breaking of one mole of bond into isolated gaseous atoms is called bond energy of the compound"
Example:
H2(g) ⇒ 2H(g) , ΔHº = ∑H-H
ΔHº = ∑H-H = 2ΔHfºH(g) - ΔHfº(H2)

  • Let us consider the similar bond breaking In CH4
    CH4(g) ⇒ C(g)  +  4 H(g)
    ΔH = 4 ∑C-H =ΔHfºC(g) 4ΔHfºH(g) - ΔHfº(CH4)
  • Enthalpy of reaction in terms of bond energy for a thermochemical eqn can be written as
    ΔHfº = B.E.(Reactant) - B.E. (products)

Example 4. Using the bond enthalpy data given below, calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction

Data :
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET
Solution.
ΔrHº = Σreactant - Σproduct
ΔHrº = ΣC = C+4 ΣC-H+ΣH-H -ΣC-C -6ΣC -H
ΔHrº = 606.68 4×410.87 431.79 -336.81 -6×410.87 = 2681.95 -2802.03
ΔHrº = -120.08 kJ/mol

Heat of hydrogenation
"Enthalpy change during the addition of 1 mole of H2 to an unsaturated compound. is called heat of hydrogentation."
Hydrogenation is an exothermic process. of therefore heat of hytdrogentaiton is always -ve.

Example:
CH2 = CH2 + H2 ⇒ CH3 -CH3
ΔHrº = ΔHº (Hydrogenation of CH2 = CH2)

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET 
ΔHrº = ΔHº (Hydrogenation) of cyclohexene

Example 5. Compare the heat of hydrogenation of the following alkene
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

Solution

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

The above concept is true as long as no. of double bonds are equal as heat of hydrogenation is defined for per mole of double bond. It will be certainly larger for higher number of double bonds irrespective of their stability.
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

As we know trans > cis (stability)
⇒ Heat of hydrogen (trans) < Heat of hydrogenation (cis)

Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

of therefore decreasing order of heat of hydrogenation of alkene 5 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 >

Example 6. Find DHf of HCl(g) if bond energies of H2, Cl2 and HCl are 104, 58, 103 kcal/mole respectively. 
Solution. H - Cl ⇒ H(g)  + Cl(g)

∑H-Cl= ΔHfºH(g) + HfºCl(g) - ΔHfºHCl(g)
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET

⇒ ΔHfºHCl(g) = - 22 kcal/mol.

Heat of Atomisation
" When one mole of any substance is converted into gaseous atoms enthalpy change during the process is called heat of atomisation." It is always +ve.

Heat of sublimation
Enthalpy change during the conversion of one mole of solid to 1 mole of gaseous phase directly without undergoing into liquid phase is called enthalpy of sublimation or heat of sublimation,
It is always +ve due to endothermic nature of the process.

Example:
C(s) ⇒ C(g)
ΔHº = ΔHsubºC(s) = ΔHfº C(g) - ΔHfº C(s)
⇒ ΔHsubºC(s) = ΔHfº C(g)
⇒ ΔHsubºC(s) = ΔHfº C(g) = ΔHºatmosationC(g)

Example 7. Using the given data, calculate enthalpy of formation of acetone(g) [All values in kJmol-1] bond enthalpy of C-H = 413.4, C - C = 347.0 (C = O) = 728.0

Calculate C º C bond enthalpy.
Given that enthalpy of atomisation of 150 kcal and H - H bond enthalpy and C - H bond enthalpy are 103 kcal and 93.64 kcal respectively.
Solution. 
HC ≡ CH  + 5/2O2 ⇒ 2CO2    +  H2O
ΔHCº(CH ≡ CH) = 2ΔHfº(CO2) + ΔHfº(H2O) - ΔHfº(C2H2)
- 312 = 2 × (-94.38) + (-68.38) - ΔHfº(C2H2)
ΔHfº(C2H2) = 54.86
CH ≡ CH ⇒ 2C(g)  + 2H(g)
ΣC=C + 2ΣC-H = 2ΔHfºC(g) + 2ΔHfºH(g) - ΔHfº(CH º CH)
ΣC=C + 2 × 93.64 = 2 × 150 2 × (1/2) × 103 -54.86
⇒ ΣC=C = 160.86 kJmol-1

Resonance Energy
"The energy difference between resonance hybrid and most stable canonical structure is called resonance energy".Resonance energy is generally -ve as nature of the process is exothermic.

Solution. 2C(g) + 6H(g) ⇒ C2H6   ΔHº = -2839.2
C2H6 ⇒ 2C(g)  + 6H(g)     ΔHº = 2839.2
∑C - C + 6∑C - H = 2839.2    ΔHº = 2839.2
∑C - C + 6 × 410.87 = 2839.2
∑C - C = 373.98 ... (1)
2C(g) + 4H(g) ⇒ C2H4(g) ΔHº = -2275.2
C2H4 ⇒ 2C(g) + 4H(g) ΔHº = 2275.2
∑C = C + 4∑C - H = 2275.2
∑(C = C) = 631.72 ...(2)
6C(g) + 6H(g) ⇒ C6H6    ΔHº = -5506
⇒ C6H6 ⇒ 6C(g) + 6H(g)     ΔHº = 5506
⇒ 3∑C = C + 3∑C - C + 6∑C - H+ x  = 5506
Putting all the values from eqn , 1, & (2) we get x = 23.68

Note :-
(1) Heat of solution is always exothermic for the anhydrous form of salts which can form their hydrates.
Example:
CuSO4, Na2SO4, FeSO4, ZnSO4, CaCl2, LiCl etc.
CuSO4(s) aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq) ΔH < 0

(2) Heat of solution is endothermic for the hdyrated form of the salt.
CuSO4 . 5H2O aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq)ΔH > 0

ΔH = y - x
enthalpy change when the conc. of salt changes from one to another on the basis of dilution
⇒ ΔH = y - x = Heat of dilution

CuSO4(s)  + 5H2O ⇒ CuSO4.5H2O
ΔH = Heat of hydration of CuSO4(s)

Example 11. Heat of soln of CuSO4(s) and CuSO4.5H2O is 15.9 and 19.3 kJ/mol respectively. Find the heat of hydration of CuSO4(s)
Solution. CuSO4(s) + aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq) ......(1)
ΔH = -15.9
CuSO4.5H2O + aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq) ......(2)
ΔH = 19.3
Reversing eqn (1) and adding (2)
CuSO4(s)  + aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq)
ΔH = 15.9
CuSO4.5H2O  + aq ⇒ CuSO4(aq)
ΔH = 19.3
CuSO4.5H2O ⇒ CuSO4(s)

H  + Cl-  + Na  + OH⇒ Na  + Cl- + H2O
H (aq) + OH-(aq) ⇒ H2O(aq)
ΔHº = -13.7 Kcal
H2SO4(aq)  + 2NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na2SO4  + 2H2O
2H + SO42-  + 2Na +  2OH⇒ 2Na  + SO42- + 2H2O
2H  +  2OH⇒ 2H2O
⇒ ΔH = -13.7 × 2

Note:-
In case of weak Acid or weak bases the observed value is little lower because of a part of it is used in dissociating weak Acid or weak base which is not at all completely ionised at dilute solution unditions.
These are however, completely ionised at infinite dilution.

Example:
CH3COOH  + NaOH ⇒ CH3COONa + H2O
ΔH = -13.7 + x
As we know, H  + OH- ⇒ H2O , ΔH = -13.7 kcal ----(1)

Which statement is/are correct.
Given: HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl  + H2O 57 kJ
CH3COOH + NH4OH ⇒ CH3COONH4  + H2O 48.1 kJ
(A) Ethalpy of neutralisation of HCl v/s NH4OH is -52.5 kJ/mol
(B) Ethalpy of dissociation (ionisation) of NH4OH is 4.5 kJ/mol
(C) Ethalpy of dissociation of CH3COOH is 4.6 kJ/mol
(D) ΔH for 2H2O(l) ⇒ 2H+ (aq) + 2OH-(aq) is 114 kJ
Solution. 
(A) Total heat evolved due to the neutralization = C × Δt = 1.5 × 1.4 = 2.1
M. eq of H2SO4 = 100 ×0.5 = 50
M.eq of NH4OH = 20 × 0.2 = 40
Since NH4OH is limiting hence energy will evolved according to it.
⇒ 0.04 gm eq produces 2.1 kJ
Thermochemistry | Physical Chemistry for NEET
⇒ Heat of neutralisation = -52.5 kJ

(B) -57 + x = - 52.5
⇒ x = - 52.5  + 57 = 4.5
⇒ Enthalpy of dissociation of NH4OH = 4.5 kJ/mol

(C) 57-(x + y) = 48.1
⇒ x + y = 8.9
⇒ 4.5 y = 8.9
⇒ y = 4.4
⇒ enthalpy of dissociation of CH3COOH = 4.4 kJ/mol

(D) As we know
H+ + OH- ⇒ H2O  , ΔH = -57
⇒ 2H  + 2OH- ⇒ 2H2O , ΔH = -57× 2
⇒ 2H2O ⇒ 2H++ 2OH-  , ΔH = 114 kJ
⇒ Option A, B, and D are correct.

FAQs on Thermochemistry - Physical Chemistry for NEET

1. What is thermochemistry?
Ans. Thermochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and physical changes in substances. It focuses on the relationship between heat and other forms of energy, such as work, and the interconversion between them.
2. How is heat related to thermochemistry?
Ans. Heat is a form of energy that is commonly involved in thermochemical reactions. Thermochemistry studies the heat transfer that occurs during chemical reactions and physical processes. It quantifies the heat gained or lost by a system and relates it to the energy changes associated with the reaction or process.
3. What are exothermic and endothermic reactions in thermochemistry?
Ans. In thermochemistry, an exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat to the surroundings. It is characterized by a negative change in enthalpy (ΔH < 0). On the other hand, an endothermic reaction is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surroundings. It is characterized by a positive change in enthalpy (ΔH > 0).
4. How is enthalpy related to thermochemistry?
Ans. Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic property that measures the heat content of a system. In thermochemistry, enthalpy change (ΔH) is used to quantify the heat gained or lost by a system during a chemical reaction or physical process. It represents the difference in enthalpy between the products and reactants.
5. What is the relationship between thermochemistry and the study of energy?
Ans. Thermochemistry is closely related to the study of energy as it focuses on the energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and physical processes. It helps in understanding how heat and other forms of energy are transferred, transformed, and conserved in various chemical and physical systems.
