Chem 300 - Ch 19/#1 Today’s To Do List • Start Chapter 19: 1st Law • P-V work • State Functions • 1st Law • Adiabatic Processes
Thermodynamics • Based on 3 fundamental laws • Natural laws • Summaries of experimental facts • No known exceptions • Macroscopic • Concerned with change in a system
System & Surroundings • System • Part of world we are looking at • Surroundings • Rest of the universe
1st Law of Thermo • Deals with: • Conservation of Energy • Changes in energy of a system • expressible in terms of work and heat
work & heat • Methods of energy transfer between a system and its surroundings: • Heat: • due to a temperature difference • Work: • due to unbalanced forces
Heat Transfer • Surroundings ---->>> System • Positive quantity • Tsurr > Tsys • System --->>> Surroundings • Negative quantity • Tsurr < Tsys • Example: “hot” coffee cup, “cool” surroundings… • heat flow: cup-->surroundings
PV Work • Consider a gas in a container (system) • apply an external force (in surroundings) to compress the gas • work (w) = force x displacement • pressure (P) = force/area
PV work • w = -PextdV • at constant Pext • w = - Pext (Vfinal - Vinit) • If compression, Vfinal < Vinit & w > 0 • If expansion, Vfinal > Vinit & w < 0
Work • depends upon the path • PV work depends upon value of Pext
Ideal Gas & PV Work • In general w = -PextdV • for any reversible process • P = f(V) in order to integrate • for IG • P = RT/Vm • w = -PextdV = -(RT/V)dV • If T = const (isothermal)
Isothermal Reversible PV work for an IG • w = -RTdV/V = - RT ln(Vfin/Vinit) • Value of w depends on the path between Vinit & Vfin
Energy • A property of the system • A state function • Path independent
1st Law • U = q + w • U is state function (path independent) • q & w not state functions (they are path functions) • A system contains an amount of energy (U) but no work or heat. • For a process where q is transferred & w is done, the energy change for the system is U = q + w
Adiabatic Process • Adiabatic process: q = 0 • No heat transfer • Example: styrofoam cup
Energy & Ideal Gas • For IG, U only depends on T • U = f (T) (prove this later) • Specifically: dU = Cv dT • C = heat capacity • U = Cv (Tf - Ti) • For isothermal process, U for IG is constant
Next Time • Adiabatic Processes & T • Enthalpy • More on Heat Capacity • Heats of Transition
