Main Ideas and Lessons (Thermochemistry – Kelas 11 IPA)

Meaning of Thermochemistry

  • The term thermochemistry comes from Greek:
    • thermos = heat (or temperature)
    • chemistry = chemistry
  • Therefore, thermochemistry is chemistry that studies the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.
  • It is used by scientists/engineers to analyze and apply energy/heat changes in chemical processes.

Real-Life Applications

Thermochemistry is used in:

  • Everyday activities, such as:
    • Boiling water
    • Lighting a campfire to warm the body
  • Scientific/industrial contexts, for example:
    • Chemists: calculate heat of combustion of compounds
    • Chemical engineers: design factories and determine energy needed in industrial processes

Key Concepts Taught

1) Enthalpy (and how it changes)

  • Enthalpy (H) is the total energy of all forms possessed by a substance/material, consisting of:
    • Internal energy (E)
    • Work (W)
  • Relationship:
    • H = E + W
  • Work of the system (W):
    • Defined as: W = P × V
      • where P = pressure, V = volume
    • Sign convention (as stated):
      • W is positive if the system does work
      • W is negative if the system receives / does work on the system (implying opposite direction of work)
  • Internal energy (E):
    • Increases when the system absorbs/receives heat
    • Decreases when the system releases heat
  • What can be measured
    • Absolute values of internal energy or enthalpy are not directly measurable in this context.
    • What is measurable is the change:
      • ΔE = change in internal energy
      • ΔH = change in enthalpy
  • Enthalpy change (ΔH) for a reaction
    • Defined as:
      • ΔH = H(product) − H(reactant)
    • Represents the amount of heat released or absorbed in the chemical reaction.

2) System and environment

  • System: the part of the world being observed/studied
  • Environment: everything outside the system

Example: Reaction of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid in an Erlenmeyer flask

  • The mixture in the Erlenmeyer flask = system
  • The Erlenmeyer flask (outside the system) and the surrounding air = environment
  • Heat transfer occurs between system and environment.

3) Types of reactions based on heat transfer

Chemical reactions in thermochemistry are divided into two types:

A) Exothermic Reactions (Release Heat)

  • Definition: reactions that release heat from the system to the environment.
  • Conditions: system temperature becomes higher than the surroundings (ambient temperature).
  • ΔH sign: ΔH is negative
    • Reason: H(product) < H(reactant)
  • Concept/graph idea:
    • Enthalpy of reactants is greater than enthalpy of products
    • The vertical difference corresponds to ΔH
  • Example:
    • Burning wood (campfire)
    • The heat released is absorbed by the body, warming it.

B) Endothermic Reactions (Absorb Heat)

  • Definition: reactions that absorb heat from the environment into the system.
  • Conditions: system temperature becomes lower than the surroundings (environmental temperature).
  • Heat flow: from environment → system
  • ΔH sign: ΔH is positive
    • Reason: H(product) > H(reactant)
  • Concept/graph idea:
    • Enthalpy of reactants is lower than enthalpy of products
    • The difference corresponds to ΔH
  • Example:
    • Ice cubes melting
    • Environmental temperature is higher, so heat flows into the ice and causes melting.
