According to Hesss law, the enthalpy change for the overall equation (which is the equation we want) equals the
sum of the enthalpy changes for the two steps. So, if we can find the enthalpy changes for the two steps; their sum
would give us the required enthalpy.
We can determine the enthalpy change for the first step by simply burning graphite in an excess of oxygen. Theresult (found experimentally) is 393.5H kJ = per mole of 2CO formed. For 2 moles of 2 ,CO we multiply
by 2.
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )2 22 2 2 ; 393.5 2.C graphite O g CO g H kJ + = The second step, decomposition ofCO
2, is not an easy experiment. However, the reverse of this decomposition is
simply the combustion ofCO. We could determine the H for that combustion by burning CO in an excess of
oxygen. (In fact, the reaction is similar to the one for the combustion of graphite to2.CO )
2 22 ( ) ( ) 2 ( ); 566.0CO g O g CO g H kJ + = From the properties of thermochemical equations we know that the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction is
simply (1) times the original reaction.
2 22 ( ) 2 ( ) ( ); ( 566.0 ) ( 1)CO g CO g O g H kJ + = If we now add these two steps and all their enthalpy changes, we obtain the chemical equation and the enthalpy
change for the combustion of ,CO which is what we wanted

Chemistry/Thermodynamics
Hesss law is more generally useful, however, in that it allows us to calculate the enthalpy change for one reaction
from the values for others, whatever their source. (We will illustrate this in the examples that follow.)
Important points
1. Hesss law is a consequence of the fact that enthalpy is a state function.
2. We can calculate H for any process, as long as we find a route for which H is known for each step.
This important fact permits us to use a relatively small number of experimental measurements to calculate
H for a vast number of different reactions( we will illustrate this as we move ahead in this chapter.)
3. Will the final value ofH for a reaction depend on the way in which we break it down to use Hesss law?
BecauseHis a state function, we will always get the same value ofH for an overall reaction, regardless
of how many steps we employ to get to the final products.
4. It should be noted that in applying Hesss law, the individual steps need not be realisable in practice. They
may be hypothetical reactions and the only requirement is that their chemical equations should balance.
Suppose we are given the following data :
2 2( ) ( ) ( ); 297S s O g SO g H kJ + = ...(1)
3 2 22 ( ) 2 ( ) ( ); 198SO g SO g O g H kJ + = + ...(2)
How could we use these data to obtain the enthalpy change for the following equation ?
2 32 ( ) 3 ( ) 2 ( )S s O g SO g + ...(3)
Critical thinking
We need to multiply equations (1) and(2) by factors (perhaps reversing one or both equations) so that
when we add them together we obtain equation (3). We can usually guess what we need to do to the first
two equations to obtain the third one.
Note that Equation (3) has a coefficient of 2for S(s). This suggests that we should multiply equation (1) by
2 (and multiply the H by 2). Note also that 3( )SO g in equation (3) is on the RHS. This suggests that we
should reverse equation (2) (and multiply the H by -1)
Solution: Following the process described above, the whole problem boils down to this :

The next example gives another illustration of how Hesss law can be used to calculate the enthalpy
change for a reaction from the enthalpy values for other reactions. In this case, the problem involves
three equations from which we obtain a fourth. Although this problem is somewhat complicated than
the one we just did, the basic procedure is the same : Compare the coefficients in the equations. See
by what factors we need to multiply the equations whose H s we know to obtain the equation we
want.

Critical thinking
We need to multiply equation (1), (2) and(3) by factors so that when we add the three equations we obtain
the desired equation for the formation of WC(s). To obtain these factors compare equations (1), (2) and(3)
in turn with the desired equation. For instance, note that Equation (1) has 2W(s) on the left side, whereas
the desired equation has W(s). Therefore, we multiply equation (1) (and its H) by1 .

Compare Equation (2) with the desired equation. Both have C(graphite) on the left side; therefore, we
leave equation (2) as it is. Now, compare equation (3) with the desired equation. Equation (3) hasWC(s) on the left side, whereas the desired equation has WC(s) on the right side. Hence we reverse
equation (3) and multiply it (and its H ) by 1 .2

Critical thinking
1. We want one mole of C (graphite) as reactant, so we write down equation (1) as it is.
2. We want two moles of 2 ( )H g as reactants, so we multiply equation (2) by 2.
3. We want one mole of4 ( )CH g as product, so we reverse equation (3).
4. We do the same operations on each H value.
5. Then we add these equations term by term. The result is the desired thermochemical equation; all
unwanted substances cancel. The sum of the H values is theH for the desired reaction.

STANDARD STATE
Before we delve into standard enthalpies of formation, we will have to study and understand clearly, so as to what
does the standard state of a substance means and why is it needed. We have seen earlier in this chapter that the
magnitude of enthalpy change of any reaction depends upon the state (gas, liquid or solid) of reactants and products.
However, this is not the only factor on which enthalpy change depends. It depends also upon the conditions of
temperature and pressure of the reactants and products. So, we can make out from this that depending upon
variousvarying conditions we will get different enthalpy changes for the same reaction.
To understand so as to what problem this poses in our study of reactions, consider two arbitrary reactions.
Suppose H for the first reaction at 2 bar, 30C is 150kJ and that for the second reaction at 5 bar , 200C
is 250 kJ. Then can we say that the second reaction is more exothermic than the first one ? The answer is NO.
We can say that a certain reaction is more ( or less)exothermic (or endothermic) than another reaction only when
we are comparing theirH's under same conditions of temperature and pressure.
So, this means that, in order to compare the enthalpy change of different reactions we need to have a certain
standard condition of temperature and pressure.
The term standard state refers to the standard thermodynamic conditions chosen for substances whenlisting or comparing thermodynamic data : 51 (1 10 )bar Pa and a specified temperature ( if the
temperature is not specified we assume it to be 25C.)
So, thisshouldmean that the physical state of a substance at a pressure of 1 bar and a specified temperature is the
standard state of that substance at that particular temperature. But we still have an anomaly to deal with. Many
substances exist in the same physical state (gas, liquid or solid) in two or more distinct forms. For example, oxygen
in any of the physical states occurs both as dioxygen (commonly called simply oxygen.) with2O molecules, and as
ozone, with 3O molecules. So, at a specified temperature and pressure of 1 bar, which one of the two should be
considered as the standard state of oxygen ? We resolve this anomaly as follows :
-

7/31
LOCUSLOCUSLOCUSLOCUSLOCUS 29
Chemistry/Thermodynamics
Oxygen with its two different forms under same conditions is said to exist in different allotropic forms. Anallotrope
is one of two or more distinct forms of an element in the same physical state.
Further, we define reference form of an element as the stablest form (physical state and allotrope) of the
element under standard thermodynamic conditions.
With these two terms defined we have all that we need to define standard state without any ambiguity. If at a
particular temperature and pressure of 1 bar, a substance exists in two or more allotropic forms, we choose the
stablest (i.e. reference form) of them as the standard state of that substance at that particular temperature.
So, now, we can say that the standard state of a substance is the physical state of the substance (at 1 bar
and a specified temperature) in its reference form. Reference form of some substances (at 25C) are mentioned
here :
Substance Reference form
Hydrogen H2, gas
Oxygen O2, gas
Carbon C, graphite
Sulphur S, rhombic.
Important Points
1. It is a general misconception to confuse standard thermodynamic conditions with STP for gases. They are
not identical.
2. Another widespread misconception is regarding the temperature in standard thermodynamic conditions.
Please read the definition and note that although the standard pressure has been fixed at 1 bar, no fixed
temperature is mentioned. So, substances can have various standard states at different temperatures. For
example, standard state of2H O at 5C is solid; at 5C it is liquid and at 105C it is gas.
3. However, if no temperature is mentioned, we assume it to be 25C.
4. The standard enthalpy change, reactionH (abbreviated generally as rH ), for a reaction,
reactantsproducts
refers to the H when the specified no. of moles of reactants, all at standard states, are convertedcompletely to the specified number of moles of products, all at standard states. We allow the reaction to
take place, with changes in temperature or pressure if necessary; when the reaction is complete, we return
the products to the same conditions of temperature and pressure that we started with, keeping track of
energy or enthalpy changes as we do so. When we describe a process as taking place at constant Tand
P, we mean that the initial and final conditions are the same. Because we are dealing with state functions,
the net change is the same as the change we would have obtained hypothetically with TandPheld
constant.

STANDARD ENTHALPIES OF FORMATION
If a compound is formed from its constituent elements, then the enthalpy change for the reaction is calledenthalpy
of formation, . fH For example,
2 2 1(diamond) ( ) ( ); 395.4C O g CO g H kJ + =
1H is the enthalpy of formation of 2CO here as it is being formed from the elements that constitute it. But the
following reaction gives enthalpy of formation of2CO as well :
2 2 2(graphite) ( ) ( ); 393.5C O g CO g H kJ + =
Under same thermodynamic conditions we can see that1 2.H H Besides for a formation reaction ( i.e. a
reaction where a substance is formed from its constituent elements), the enthalpy of formation will vary with
changing number moles of the reactants.
To resolve these anomalies, we define standard enthalpy of formation : The standard enthalpy of formation
(also called the standard heat of formation) of a substance is the enthalpy change for the formation ofone mole
of the substance in a specified state from its elements in their reference form and in their standard states. It is
denoted by .fH
To understand this definition, consider the standard enthalpy of formation of liquid water. Note that the stablest
forms of hydrogen and oxygen at 1 atm and 25C are2 ( )H g and 2 ( ),O g respectively. These are therefore the
reference forms of the elements. We can write the formation reaction for liquid water as follows :
2 2 22 ( ) ( ) 2 ( ); 571.6H g O g H O l H kJ+ =
The standard enthalpy change for this reaction is 571.6 kJper two moles of2H O formed. But according to
the definition of fH we need the enthalpy change for only 1 mole of the substance being formed. So, we
divide the thermochemical equation above by 2 to get :
2 2 21( ) ( ) ( ); 285.82 fH g O g H O l H kJ+ =
So, the standard enthalpy of formation of liquid water at 25C is 285.8 kJ.
The standard enthalpies of formation of the elements in their reference state are zero, by definition. Therefore
fH of pure graphite is zero. Note that the standard enthalpy of formation of an element will depend upon the
form of the element. For example, the fH for diamond equals the enthalpy change from the stablest form of
carbon (graphite) to diamond. The thermochemical equation is :
(graphite) (diamond); 1.9fC C H kJ

On the other hand, the fH for graphite equals zero. Here, we list fH
of some compounds and elements. You
are not expected to memorise this table. But it is expected that you study this table and at least memorise the
reference states of elements (when there 0).fH

Listing out standard enthalpies of formation, actually helps us calculate standard enthalpy of any reaction. Let us
see how to use standard enthalpies of formation to find the standard enthalpy change for a reaction. We will first
look at this problem from the point of view of Hess law. But when we are done we will note a pattern in the result,
which will allow us to state a simple formula for solving this type of problem.

The set up of this calculation can be greatly simplified if we closely examine what we are doing. Note that thef
H
of each compound has been multiplied by its coefficient in the chemical equation whose H we are calculating.
Moreover, the fH for each reactant is multiplied by a negative sign. For example, the coefficient ofHCl in the
original equation is 4 and we see that we have multiplied the fH ofHClby 4 itself.
We can symbolise the enthalpy of formation of a substance by writing the formula in parantheses following .fH

Important Points
1. The superscript zero in fH signifies standard pressure, 1 bar. Negative values of fH
describe
exothermic formation reactions, whereas positive values for fH describe endothermic formation reactions.
2. Remember that all our calculations are based on enthalpy changes, not on actual enthalpy values. So,
defining fH of elements (in their reference forms) as zero does not mean that the enthalpy of the elements
is zero. It only means that we are establishing a thermochemical reference point, from which all changes
are measured.
VARIOUS TYPES OF HEAT OF REACTIONS
Depending upon the type of reaction, heat of reactions are named after these types. We study the important oneshere :
(a) Heat of combustion
Enthalpy change accompanying the complete combustion of1 mole of a substance in an excess of
oxygen is known as the heat of combustion of that substance.
Example :
4 2 2 2( ) 2 ( ) ( ) 2 ( ); 887CH g O g CO g H O l H kJ + + =
(b) Heat of formation
We have already studied this under standard enthalpies of reaction.
(c) Heat of solution
The heat of solution of a substance is the heat evolved or absorbed when 1 mole of that substance is
dissolved in a stated quantity of solvent (usually the solvent is water)
Example:
( ) ( ) ( ); 5NaCl s Na aq Cl aq H kJ+ + =
(d) Heat of ionisation
The heat of ionisation of a substance is the amount of heat absorbed when 1 mole of a compound
completely dissociates into ions.
Example :
( ) ( ) ( ); 46HCN aq H aq CN aq H kJ+ + = +

Chemistry/Thermodynamics
(e) Heat of neutralisation
Heat of neutralisation is the heat change accompanying an acid neutralising a base forming 1 mole of
2H O and salt. (another definition of heat of neutralisation is : it is the amount of heat liberated when 1 gm-equivalent of an acid is completely neutralised by 1 gm-equivalent of base)
Some important points about neutralisationH are :
(i) When a strong acid reacts with a strong base (i.e. they are completely ionised in water by themselves)
then the neutralisationH is same for any pair of strong acid and strong base. We can understand this by
the following example:
Neutralisation of a strong acid by a strong base should be written in ionic form as the actual reaction
takes place in ionic form. Consider neutralisation of4HClO ( a strong acid) by NaOH ( a strong
base) written in ionic form :
4( )H aq ClO+ + ( ) ( )aq Na aq++ OH Na ++ 4( ) ( )aq ClO aq
+ 2 ( )H O l+
After cancelling we get the net ionic equation :
2( ) ( ) ( ); 57.27H aq OH aq H O l H kJ+ + =
The 57.27H kJ = per mole of liquid water formed. We can see that the reaction of any strong
acid with any strong base boils down to the same net ionic equation as above. So, H accompanying
any strong acid and base will be same i.e.neutralisation
57.27H kJ = for reaction between a strong
acid and strong base.
(ii) However, when any of the acid or base is weak (i.e. they dont completely ionise in the water), the
accompanying heat released is less than 57.27 .kJ This is because some of the heat is utilised in
ionising the weak acid or base. Some examples of weak acids are 3, ,HCN CH COOH etc. and
examples of weak bases are4 ,NH OH etc. (A detailed discussion on acids and bases will be taken up
in the unit on ionic equilibrium.)
(f) Heat of vapourisation
Vapouration is the change of a liquid to the vapour state. For example :
2 2 vap( ) ( ); 44H O l H O g H kJ =
the H accompanying such a process is called heat of vapourisation. Here,
vapH (at 25C) = 44kJ.
(g) Heat of fusion
Fusion (or melting) is the change of a solid to the liquid state. For example,
2 2( ) ( ); fusH O s H O l H
the H accompanying such a process is called heat of fusion.

(h) Heat of sublimation
Sublimation is the change of solid directly to the vapour state. For example ,
2 2 sublimation
dry ice
( ) ( );CO s CO g H
the H accompanying such a process is called heat of sublimation.
Please attempt the following basic problems before seeing their solution.
The heat of fusion (also called heat of melting), ,fusH of ice is the enthalpy change for
2 2( ) ( ); .fusH O s H O l H
Similarly, the heat of vaporisation, ,vapH of liquid water is the enthalpy change for
2 2( ) ( ); .vapH O l H O g H
How is the heat of sublimation, ,subH the enthalpy change for the reaction
2 2( ) ( ); subH O s H O g H
related to fusH and ?vapH
Solution: You can think of the sublimation of ice as taking place in two stages. First, the solid metals to liquid,
then the liquid vaporises. The first process has an enthalpy .fusH The second process has an enthalpy
.vapH Therefore, the total enthalpy, which is the enthalpy of sublimation, is the sum of these two
enthalpies:

2 2( ) ( ); vapH O g H O l H

of the enthalpy of vapourisation. The enthalpy change for the preparation of one mole of liquid water,
H is the sum of the enthalpy changes for these two steps :

Consider the breaking of an H2molecule into two hydrogen atoms:
2( ) ( ) ( )H g H g H g + ....(1)
What has been essentially done in this process is that anHHbond has been broken to produce twoHatoms.
This must have required energy. This energy has helped form atoms by dissociating a bond. We define this as:
Energy required to break a particular type ofcovalent bondis called Bond dissociation energy.
Let us consider the corresponding thermochemical equation of (1):
0
2 ( ) ( ) ( ); 435.8H g H g H g H kJ + =
i.e. the correspending standard molar enthalpy change of (1) is + 435.8 kJ. This is Bond dissociation enthalpy of
(1). The Bond dissociation enthalpy is defined as enthalpy change accompanying breaking of 1 mole of a bond of
particular type ingaseous state.

We see that bond dissociation enthalpy forCHbond in both the cases is different. This is owing to the different
molecules from which the bonds have been broken.
So, we cannot specify the exact bond dissociation enthalpy of a C H bond. However, we see that the two
values are pretty close to each other. This suggests that the enthalpy change for the dissociation of a CHbond
may be about the same in other molecules. Comparisons of this sort lead to the conclusion that we can obtain
approximate values of energies of various bonds.
We define theA Bbond energy as the averageenthalpy change for the breaking of 1 mole of A B bondin a molecule in the gas phase to form A and B in gas phase. It is also sometimes referred to as bond enthalpy.
It is denoted by ( )A B . We make the distinction between bond dissociation energy and bond energy moreclear in the following example:
Given the following bond dissociation energies, calculate the average bond enthalpy for the Ti Cl
bond.
( / )H kJ mol
4 3( ) ( ) ( )TiCl g TiCl g Cl g + 335

2( ) ( ) ( )TiCl g TiCl g Cl g + 444
( ) ( ) ( )TiCl g Ti g Cl g + 519
Solution: If the above dissociation process was written as one equation, it would be:
4 ( ) ( ) 4 ( ); 1721TiCl g Ti g Cl g H kJ + =
Where the 1721H kJ = is sum of all the bond dissociation energies for breaking each ofTi Cl bonds. The bond disssociation energies are different for subsequent bond breaking owing to different
entities from which the bonds are broken.
So, the enthalpy change accompanying this bond dissociation is actually a sum of various bond
dissociation energies. But the Bond enthalpy is defined for 1 mole of bonds broken. But here 4 molesof Ti Cl bonds have been broken. To obtain average bond enthalpy for 1 mole ofTi Cl bondswe must divide 1721 by 4 to get the required value.
, the average bond enthalpy1721

So, we may conclude that the bond energy of a diatomic molcule likeH2, O
2,HCl, etc. is same as their
bond dissociation energy but for bonds which are found only in polyatomic molecules, the bond
dissociation energies will be different from the bond energy. (as illustrated in the example above).

We can use Bond energies to estimate heats of reaction or enthalpy changes, ,H for gaseous
reactions. To illustrate this, let us find the H for the following reaction:
4 2 3( ) ( ) ( ) ( )CH g Cl g CH Cl g HCl g + +We can imagine that the reaction takes place in steps involving the breaking and forming of bonds.
Starting with the reactants, we see that one CHbond and the ClClbond break. i.e.
H C H + Cl Cl
H

H C + H + Cl + Cl

The enthalpy change is ( ) ( )C H Cl Cl + . Now we reassemble the fragments to give theproducts:
H C + H + Cl + Cl
H
H
H C Cl + H Cl
H
H
In this case, CClandHClbonds are formed, and the enthalpy change equals the negative of
the bond energies i.e. ( )C Cl and ( )H Cl . So, the net H for the overall reactionmay be written as:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )H C H Cl Cl C Cl H Cl + !
Because the bond energy concept is only approximate, the H obtained above will also be approximate.(In fact the experimental value is 101 kJand the value obtained by above method is 104 kJfor the
above reaction. Approximate, but close! Isnt it?)
In general the enthalpy of a reaction is obtained (approximately) using:
reactants products(Bond energy) (Bond energy)H =
The above method of calculating reactionH using bond enthalpies is used only when the thermochemical
data are not known by another approach.
Important points
1. The definition of bond energies is limited to the bond breaking process only and doesnt include any
provision for changes of state. Thus it is valid only for substances in the gaseous state. Therefore the
calculations of this section apply only when all substances in the reaction are gases. If liquids or solids were
involved, then additional information such as heats of vapourisation and fusion would be needed to account
for phase changes.
2. Bond energies are perhaps of greatest value when we try to explain heats of reaction to understand the
relative stabilities of compounds. In general a reaction is exothermic (gives off heat) if weak bonds are
replaced by strong bonds. In the reaction we just discussed, two bonds were broken and replaced by two
new, stronger bonds.

BORN-HABER CYCLE
Lattice energy cannot be determined directly by experiment. It can, however, be calculated by envisioning the
formation of an ionic compound as occurring in a series of well-defined steps. We can then use Hesss law to put
these steps together in a way that gives us the lattice energy for the compound. By so doing, we construct a
Born-Haber cycle.
Let us try to understand the Born-Haber cycle using the example ofNaCl.
In the Born-Haber cycle forNaClwe consider the formation ofNaCl(s) from the elementNa(s) and Cl2(g) by
two different routes, as shown in the Figure:

Notice that both of these processes are endothermic; energy is required to generate gaseous sodium and chlorine
atoms.
In the next two steps we remove the electron fromNa(g) to formNa+(g) and then add the electron to Cl(g) to
form Cl (g). The enthalpy for these processes equal the first ionisation energy ofNa,I1(Na), and the electron
affinity ofCl, denoted byE(Cl), respectively.:

Finally, we combine the gaseous sodium and chloride ions to form solid sodium chloride. Because this process is
just the reverse of the lattice energy (breaking a solid into ions), the enthalpy change is the negative of the lattice
energy, the quantity that we wish to determine:

are one mole of C Cl bonds and one mole of H Cl bonds. We need to take into account only the bonds
that are different on the two sides of the equation. As in the last example, we add and subtract the appro-
priate bond energies.
