① Overview

○ Definition : Internal energy with added concept of work

○ Enthalpy can be defined even when pressure is not constant

○ Enthalpy is equal to the heat transferred at constant pressure

○ Enthalpy is equal to the heat transferred without expansion

○ Originally thought enthalpy was only defined under constant pressure, but this understanding changes after looking at the following equation

② Characteristics

○ State function : Enthalpy is only a function of temperature. It remains constant if the initial and final temperatures are the same

○ Enthalpy has no absolute value, so the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is important

○ If a reaction proceeds in reverse, the sign of ΔH is reversed

○ Magnitude property : Proportional to the quantity of substance

○ Measured with simple calorimeter at constant pressure : CP is the heat capacity at constant pressure, but dh = mCPdT holds even when pressure is not constant

③ Reaction Enthalpy

○ Combustion enthalpy (ΔHC) : Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely combusted

○ Solvation enthalpy

○ ΔHsol : MN(s) → M+(aq) + N-(aq)

○ ΔH lattice (＞ 0) : MN(s) → M+(g) + N-(g)

○ Absolute value of lattice enthalpy is larger for smaller metal ions and larger charges on individual ions

○ Gas : No intermolecular forces between molecules. Heat is transferred as kinetic energy of motion. The slope is largest.

○ Relationship with internal energy

○ Gas reactions : If there is no change in the gas molar ratio between reactants and products, ΔH = ΔU.

○ Reactions in liquids and solids can be considered at constant pressure, and work is almost negligible, so ΔH = ΔU.

3. Second Law of Thermodynamics

⑴ Overview

① Entropy : A state function that represents disorder.

② Reversible process : A process with a total entropy change of 0.

③ The second law of thermodynamics can be expressed in four different ways.

⑵ Expression 1

① Spontaneous change : Change that occurs without external influence.

② Law : Spontaneous changes occur in the direction of increasing the universe’s entropy.

③ Surroundings’ entropy ΔS_surroundings : Independent of whether the reaction is reversible or irreversible.

○ The application of the second law of thermodynamics is possible only when an isolated system is formed by the system of interest and its surroundings.

○ Calculation of ΔS_surroundings : Independent of reversible · irreversible reactions. Assumes constant temperature and pressure in the surroundings.

○ Although ΔS_surroundings is not as simple as described above, it is important to note that it is composed of values derivable from the system.

④ Conclusion : If ΔS_total > 0, spontaneous; if ΔS_total < 0, non-spontaneous.

⑶ Expression 2: Clausius Inequality

① Clausius’s expression : Heat flows from hot to cold. It cannot spontaneously flow from cold to hot.

② Formulation (with equality condition for reversible processes)

③ Proof

○ To do work on the system, the external pressure must be increased along with the rise in external pressure.

○ Therefore, the reversible condition does more work on the surroundings than the irreversible condition.

○ If the initial and final states of reversible and irreversible processes are the same (applying physical representation),

○ Hence, the following equation is obtained.

④ Derivation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics : If the system is isolated from the surroundings, dq = 0, so dS ≥ 0.

⑤ Free Expansion

○ Free expansion and isothermal expansion have the same entropy change intuitively.

○ In free expansion, there is no heat exchange.

○ In free expansion, since it’s not a reversible process, the above formula cannot be applied.

⑷ Expression 3: Carnot Engine

① Kelvin-Planck’s expression : It’s impossible to create a heat engine that converts all absorbed heat into work.

② In other words, an engine with 100% efficiency cannot be created.

③ Carnot engine efficiency is 70% : With 100 units of heat, only 70 units can be converted into work.

⑸ Expression 4: Statistical Mechanical Definition

① Defined by Boltzmann’s equation, also known as Boltzmann entropy.

② State number W : Number of ways the molecules of the system can be arranged while keeping the total energy constant.

○ Positional probability : The greater the disorder of molecular arrangement, the more cases there are in that direction for the reaction to proceed.

○ Molecular motion states : More cases for molecular arrangement occur at different energy levels, preferred at higher temperatures → Entropy increases with higher temperatures.

○ Absolute value of entropy and definition of entropy at 0 can be defined → Third Law of Thermodynamics.

③ Equivalence of Thermodynamic and Statistical Mechanical Definitions

○ Assume that the microscopic state number given to a single molecule is proportional to its volume.

○ For N molecules, the total state number is represented as follows

○ The statistical entropy during isothermal expansion of an ideal gas is as follows

○ Ultimately, the definition of statistical entropy is equivalent to the definition of thermodynamic entropy.

○ It’s conjectured that Boltzmann performed reverse calculations to extract profound meaning from thermodynamic definition.

④ Classical Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Statistical Mechanics

○ Classical Statistical Mechanics : Initiated by Boltzmann’s thermodynamic concepts.

○ Quantum Statistical Mechanics : Characterized by quantum mechanical concepts such as orbital theory.

⑹ Application of Entropy

① Application 1: General Thermodynamic Process

② Application 2: Predicting Entropy Change in Gas Reactions

○ Reaction entropy ΔS : In reactions where the number of gas molecules increases, ΔS > 0.

③ Application 3: Expansion in Vacuum

○ ΔT = 0, W = 0 → Q = 0

○ Thermodynamic definition doesn’t apply in this situation.

○ Approaching the problem with the concept of state number from statistical mechanics is similar to isothermal expansion.

④ Application 4: Entropy of Phase Transition

○ Under constant pressure, phase transition temperature T_transition is constant, and Q_p = ΔH.

○ Standard molar entropy of phase transition ΔS° : Entropy change during transition at standard conditions (1 bar).

○ Trouton’s rule : Most liquids have a standard vaporization entropy of about 85 J/K.

○ Water has a relatively large ΔS°vap (∵ liquid water has low entropy).

Table. 2. Standard Vaporization Entropy of Liquids at Normal Boiling Points

⑤ Application 5: The reason time flows in one direction is related to the second law of thermodynamics.

4. Third Law of Thermodynamics

⑴ Nernst’s Heat Theorem

① Expression 1: Entropy change associated with physical or chemical changes approaches 0 as temperature approaches absolute zero.

② Expression 2: The entropy of all perfect crystalline substances is 0 at T = 0.

⑵ Residual Entropy

① The entropy actually measured at T = 0.

② Example 1: Residual entropy of CO : Random orientation allows relatively free motion, increasing residual entropy.

○ Considering two CO molecules, CO ··· CO and CO ··· OC are two possible arrangements. According to Boltzmann’s statistical definition, the absolute entropy is k ln (2×2) = k ln 4. When expanded to 1 mole (6.02 × 10^23 molecules), the predicted residual entropy is S = NAk ln 2 = 5.76 J/K. The actual measured value is 4.6 J/K, which is quite similar.

③ Example 2: Residual entropy of HCl : Only one type of arrangement is possible, making the residual entropy close to 0.

⑶ Standard Molar Entropy

① Absolute zero : Defines the entropy of a pure solid crystal as 0 at 0 K.

② Calculation of standard molar entropy of substances

③ Characteristic 1: Sm(s) < Sm(ℓ) < Sm(g) : Entropy becomes more disordered as it goes from solid to gas.

④ Characteristic 2: Molar entropy of heavy elements is higher than that of light elements.

⑤ Characteristic 3: Larger and more complex chemical species have higher molar entropy than smaller and simpler ones.

⑥ Standard Molar Entropy at 25°C

Table. 3. Standard Molar Entropy of Substances at 25°C (J/K · mol)

⑷ Standard Reaction Entropy

5. Gibbs Free Energy (G)

⑴ Definition : A state function that indicates the spontaneity of a reaction.

① Applying the second law of thermodynamics requires considering both the system and the surroundings, which is cumbersome.

② Gibbs free energy requires only the properties of the system to judge the spontaneity of the reaction, making it easier.

○ (Note) If properties of the system and surroundings are considered separately, the calculation process becomes more complicated.

③ Meaning 1: ΔG < 0 indicates a spontaneous reaction, ΔG > 0 indicates a non-spontaneous reaction, ΔG = 0 indicates equilibrium.

④ Meaning 2: For a constant temperature and pressure, the maximum reversible work obtainable from a reaction.

⑤ Limitation : The change in the surroundings’ entropy is not that simple.

⑵ Proof

Since at constant temperature and pressure, dq = dH and dq_surroundings = -dH, the equation changes as follows.

Multiplying both sides by -T yields the Gibbs free energy equation.

Since spontaneous reactions have dS_total > 0,

⑶ Physical Interpretation : ΔG = Maximum non-expansion work

① Electrochemistry and Gibbs Free Energy (where E = reduction potential)

⑷ Relationship between ΔG and Reaction Rate

① Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) Principle : Gibbs free activation energy is proportional to reaction Gibbs free energy.

② This principle, like Hammond’s Postulate, seems to be an empirical rule.
