• Energy change before and after the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen (overview)
  • 　The energy content of a substance changes before and after a chemical reaction. Learn what these differences mean.

    　The figure below shows the energy breakdown before and after the reaction that produces water from hydrogen and oxygen under standard conditions (25°C, 1 atm).

    　Before the reaction (original form), two components, H₂ and O₂, exist, and the enthalpy (total energy possessed by the substance) of each substance is written as HH₂ and HO₂. The breakdown of enthalpy is internal energy (U) and PV. It is important to note that P is not the total pressure (1 atm), but the partial pressure of each component. The sum of the partial pressures of each component (total pressure) is 1 atm under standard conditions. (Just imagine injecting hydrogen and oxygen gas into a soft plastic bag.)

    　Since hydrogen and oxygen exist in the same space, the volume V is common to both components. Internal energy is divided into binding energy and Helmholtz free energy. The sum of Helmholtz free energy (F) and PV is Gibbs energy (G).

    　The total enthalpy of the original form is expressed as [ HH₂＋HO₂ ], and similarly, the total Gibbs energy of the original form is expressed as [GH₂＋GO₂].

    　When pure hydrogen and oxygen react, water (H2O) is produced.

    ・Total enthalpy of generated form：HH₂O

    ・Total Gibbs Energy：　　GH₂O

    ・Difference in Gibbs energy between generated form and original form（⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}）：　GH₂O－（GH₂＋GO₂）

    ・Difference in binding energy between generated form and original form（T⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}）：　　　T・SH₂O－（T・SH₂＋T・SO₂）

    ・Enthalpy difference between generated form and original form（⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}）：　　　　HH₂O－（HH₂＋HO₂）
    

    
    

    Now, there is a difference in the total enthalpy of the original form and the generated form. In other words, when hydrogen and oxygen react to form water, the total energy of the reaction system decreases. In other words, it escapes to the outside world as heat. ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】} is equal to the amount of heat (⊿Q). This is the heat of reaction. From the perspective of the system, it is losing heat, so it has a minus sign.
    

    
    

    
    

• Formula for energy change before and after reaction
  • The enthalpy of the original form and generated form is written on the right side, and the breakdown is written as the binding energy and Gibbs energy on the left side.

     

    original form： T・S_hydrogen＋G_hydrogen＋T・S_oxygen＋G_oxygen＝　H_hydrogen＋H_oxygen

                  generated form：            T・S_water＋G_water                    　　　　＝　H_water

     

    Here, take the difference on both sides of the generated form and original form ([generated form] - [original form])

    T・S_water＋G_water －（T・S_hydrogen＋G_hydrogen＋T・S_oxygen＋G_oxygen） ＝ H_water －（H_hydrogen＋H_oxygen）

    To summarize this,

    T⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}）＋ ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】} ＝ ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}

    
    

     

    
    

    ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝T⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}）＋ ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}

     

    What this means is that the total energy difference (⊿H) before and after the chemical reaction is distributed to

                  【Change in binding energy required to adjust the collective state of matter：T・⊿S】

                                                            and

                  【Free energy difference that can be used as work：⊿G】

    
    

     

     

    　Now, when we consider the direction in which chemical reactions progress and the conditions for chemical equilibrium, the law of "increasing entropy" comes into play.

    
    

• Entropy including the reaction system and the outside world, direction of reaction progress
  • 　H2 and O2 exist in the original form of the reaction system, and H2O exists in the product form (see the figure below). The binding energy change of the reaction system including the generated form and original form is T・⊿S_{【generated form】―【original form】}(in the figure below, it is shown as T・⊿S system). When this reaction occurs, the heat of reaction (⊿Q) is transferred to the outside world. Considering the outside world, the outside world receives heat ⊿Q, so the entropy of the outside world increases by ⊿Q/T. However, the outside world is sufficiently large, and the temperature T, including the outside world, remains the same before and after the reaction.
    

    
    

    
    

    外界outside world　系と外界を含めた全体のエントロピー変化を⊿S_全体とするLet the entropy change of the whole including the system and the outside world be ⊿S_entire　生成系と原形のエントロピー変化Entropy change of generation system and original form　外界のエントロピー変化Entropy change in the external world　外界は十分に大きくて、反応前後で温度変化なしThe outside world is large enough that there is no temperature change before and after the reaction.
    

    If the overall entropy change including the reaction system and the outside world is ⊿S_entire, then

     

    ⊿S_entire　＝　⊿S_{【generated form】-【original form】} + ⊿Q／T

     

    holds true. Since this system including the outside world is sufficiently large and there is no temperature change, it can be considered an adiabatic system. In other words, in this system, the entropy increases (S_entire > 0).
    

    
    

    If we impose the condition of increasing entropy,
    

     

    ⊿S_entire　＝　⊿S_{【generated form】-【original form】} + ⊿Q／T＞ 0   ①

     

    Substitute the following formula obtained earlier into this.

     

    ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝T⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}＋ ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}

                  →　T⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}－ ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}

                  →　⊿S_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T－ ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T

    Assign to ⊿S in ①

    ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T  － ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T  ＋⊿Q／T ＞ 0              ②

     

    Since the enthalpy change and the reaction heat (-⊿Q) are equal (⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝－⊿Q) and T>0,

    (The minus sign of -⊿Q is because heat is lost from the system's perspective.)

    
    

    ② is ⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T  － ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T  －⊿H_{【generated form】－【original form】}／T ＞ 0

     

                  －⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}＞ 0

     

    So

    The reaction progresses in the direction of ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}＜ 0 

    
    

    A chemical reaction is in equilibrium when the entropy of the reaction system and the outside world does not change. In other words, the following conditions hold.

     

    ⊿G_{【generated form】－【original form】}＝ 0　

     

    
    

    In the next course, we will combine this conditional expression with the thermodynamic function to derive the chemical equilibrium conditional expression that we covered earlier.
