Thermodynamics Review
Heat Capacity (c)
- The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of an object.
Molar Heat Capacity
- Amount of substance in moles.
Specific Heat Capacity
- Amount of substance in grams.
Constants and Values
Heat Capacity at Constant Volume and Pressure
- C_M = \frac{#J}{mol \cdot K}
- C_V = \frac{#J}{g \cdot K}
- Constant Volume:
- Constant Pressure:
- For monatomic gases:
- Because (in Kelvin) = (in Celsius), K and °C can be interchanged when calculating temperature differences.
Heat Capacity at Constant Volume (Cᵥ)
- Ideal Gas:
- No change in volume () means no work is done.
- Translational movement:
Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure (Cₚ)
- translational + work
Heat Capacity Problem (Non-Monoatomic Ideal Gas)
- Water has a heat capacity of .
- A block of iron heated to is added to of water at .
- The water's final temperature is .
- Goal: Find the heat capacity of iron.
- Final temperature of iron & water is the same due to the 0th Law Consequence.
- 1st Law Consequence:
- This calculates the heat needed to change the temperature of a mass of a substance.
- .
State Functions 9.1
- A state function depends only on its present position, not how it got there.
- Also called pathway-independent functions.
Examples of State Functions
- P, V, T, E, H, G, S (Entropy)
Examples of Non-State Functions
q and w
If Not state function, but state function.
State Functions
- If ,
- q and w are pathway dependent.
- Conclusion: is a state function, while q and w are not.
, q, w, and Pathways
- The work is the area under the curve on a P-V diagram.
- Pathways 1 and 2:
- because is path independent
, q, w, and Pathways
- System: 1.0 mole of monatomic ideal gas in a 5.0 L cylinder at 5.0 atm.
- Final state: 1.0 L and 7.0 atm.
- Calculate q, w, and (in J) for two paths:
- Compression in volume, then increase in pressure.
- Increase in pressure, then compression in volume.
- Important Equations:
Path 1
Path 1: A -> B -> D
- A -> B: (5.0 L, 5.0 atm) -> (1.0 L, 5.0 atm) *constant P
- B -> D: (1.0 L, 5.0 atm) -> (1.0 L, 7.0 atm) *constant V
Step IA: A → B
Step IB: B → D
Total:
Path 2
Path 2: A -> C -> D
a) 5.0 L, 5.0 atm to 5.0 L, 7.0 atm
b) 5.0 L, 7.0 atm to 1.0 L, 7.0 atm
Step 2A: A→C
- (5.0L, 5.0 atm) -> (5.0L, 7.0 atm) *const V
Step 2B: C→D
- (5.0L, 7.0 atm) -> (1.0L, 7.0 atm) *const P

Enthalpy (H) and Its Relationship to Internal Energy (E) 9.2
Enthalpy
- By definition: . Thus, . E, P, and V are all state functions, so H is also a state function.
Work
- \Delta E = q + w => q_P = \Delta E + P \Delta V
- This is why enthalpy is sometimes called a heat.
Hess's Law 9.5
- Hess's Law states that because is a state function, we can calculate an unknown by generating a thermocycle from a series of known values.
