10Fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics
CH4003 Lecture Notes 2 (Erzeng Xue)
Thermodynamics Review
- First Law of Thermodynamics - ENERGY CONSERVATION
- One of many expressions
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In a
process energy changes from one form to another
form and the total amount of energy remains
constant. - Second Law of Thermodynamics - DIRECTION of
change in a process - One of the several expressions states
- Processes occur in a direction of decreasing
quality of energy. - Third Zeroth Laws of Thermodynamics
-Temperature definition measurement - Third Law - Entropy definition
- The entropy of a pure crystalline substance at
absolute zero temperature is zero. - Zeroth Law - Temperature measurement
- If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a
third body, they are also in thermal equilibrium
with each other.
11State of System
CH4003 Lecture Notes 2 (Erzeng Xue)
Thermodynamics Review
- State
- A state represents a snapshot of a system at a
given time - All the system properties have fixed values at a
certain state - (but you dont have to write down all system
properties to specify a state, only a few
independent properties are sufficient, the number
depending on the system) - Change of state
- For a change of state, one needs to specify
- the initial state and the final state
- the path of process of change
- if it is a reversible or irreversible process
- Equilibrium
- A special state at which no more change is
possible
12Properties of System
CH4003 Lecture Notes 2 (Erzeng Xue)
Thermodynamics Review
- Properties of system - characteristics of system
- Intensive properties - independent of the system
size - e.g. Temperature, pressure, density etc. (value
does not change by the division) - Extensive properties - dependent on the system
size - e.g. mass, volume, internal energy etc. (value
changes by the division)
13Basic System Properties
CH4003 Lecture Notes 2 (Erzeng Xue)
Thermodynamics Review
- Temperature, T
- T is the measurement of the hotness of a
substance/system - Several scales are in use C, F, K and R (less
common). - Pressure, P
- P is the force exerts by a fluid to a system per
unit area - absolute pressure and gage pressure
- Several units are commonly used (Pa, bar, mmHg,
psi, atm.) - Volume, V
- The volume of a system
- Entropy, S
- S is a measure of molecular disorder, or
molecular randomness - S has an energy unit but is NOT a form of energy
- important S is not conserved in a process.
14Other System Properties

15Substance in a System
CH4003 Lecture Notes 2 (Erzeng Xue)
Thermodynamics Review
- Substance
- Pure substance - has a fixed and uniform chemical
composition. - Mixture of pure substances
- properties of a mixture depend on the properties
of each individual component / constituent and
the amount of each in the mixture - Phases of substances
- solid molecules are arranged in 3-D pattern that
is repeated throughout. The attractive forces
between molecules are large and keep the
molecules in fixed positions - liquid The molecular spacing is in the same
order as in a solid and molecules remain ordered
structure but the molecules position is not
fixed in 3-D structure - gas Molecules are far apart they move freely
and collide each other - The energies contain in the various phase
following the order gas gt liquid gt solid. - Property-relation diagrams
- Type of diagrams commonly used to describe
property-relations of a substance - T-V, P-V, P-T, P-V-T, T-S and H-S diagrams.

17Chemical Reaction - The Process
CH4003 Lecture Notes 3 (Erzeng Xue)
- Consider a chemical reaction A B C D
- meaning molecules A react with molecules B,
producing molecules C D
Step 3 A reacts with B giving CD
Step 4 C D move apart
Step 1 Add A B
Step 2 A meets B
activation reaction
product molecules travel to apart
reactant molecules travel to meet
Reaction Process
18Diffusion
CH4003 Lecture Notes 3 (Erzeng Xue)
Chemical Reaction Process
- The process for a molecule to travel through the
pool of molecules is called diffusion. - The reactant A can be molecules in a gas phase or
a liquid phase or a solid phase so can reactant
B, the products C and D - The media (pool of molecules) for either reactant
molecules or product molecules to diffuse through
can also either be a gas, a liquid or a solid - The rate of diffusion (diffusivity) has an order
of gasgtliquidgtsolid. Most industrial reactions
take place either in gas phase or in a liquid
phase, or multi-phases
19Rate of Diffusion vs. Rate of Reaction
CH4003 Lecture Notes 3 (Erzeng Xue)
Chemical Reaction Process
- It is important to remember that the practical
rate of a reaction cannot be larger than the
rates of diffusion, which means that - when the theoretical rate of a reaction is lower
than the rate of diffusion, the maximum rate of
reaction is then determined by the rate of the
chemical reaction - - we say reaction is kinetic control
- when the theoretical rate of a reaction is higher
than the rate of diffusion, the maximum rate of
reaction which can be achieved is the rate of
diffusion - - we say the reaction rate is diffusion control
- both the rate of reaction and the rate of
diffusion can vary with the reactor design
reaction conditions applied (e.g. T, P, pH etc.)
however, the dependence of the reaction rate
differs from that of diffusion rate on those
reaction parameters.
20Molecular Diffusion
CH4003 Lecture Notes 3 (Erzeng Xue)
Chemical Reaction Process
- Molecules travel randomly in all directions
- Change direction upon collisions
- Net effect is molecule A diffusing from high
density (concentration) region (1) to low density
(concentration) region (2) - Molecular diffusion involved at least 2
components - The model is valid for both gas and liquid systems

- Q. A reaction A B C D. Will it proceed in
the direction indicated? - Is there a general way to know reaction
direction? - A. We can tell from the change of Gibbs free
energy in a reaction, DG -
- The 2nd Law of Thermodyn. - Processes occur in a
direction of decreasing quality of energy. - We need to study reaction system in terms of
energies and their changes - The energies associated with a reaction system
- Many energy terms, a, U, H, G, - all depend on 4
basic parameters P, T, V, S - Usually P, T, V are specified by given reaction
conditions. S is related to the substances in
the reaction (reactants/products) and reaction
conditions (P, T, V) - Knowing P, T, V and S, all other energy terms can
be determined. The most important ones in
relation to chemical reactions are H and G.

CH4003 Lecture Notes 4 (Erzeng Xue)
Chemical Reaction
- DG is one of the most important thermodyn.
properties for a chemical reaction system. - It determines the direction of reaction to
proceed - DGlt 0 is the pre-condition which MUST be met for
any process (not limited to chemical reaction
systems) to occur (spontaneous process). - DGlt0 indicates a specified reaction has tendency
to proceed however, it CANNOT tell how fast that
reaction will occur - reaction kinetics tell the
rxn rate. - A process/reaction proceeds always in the
direction of MINIMISING Gibbs free energy. This
is a very important concept. - A process/reaction will stop at DG0, this is
called equilibrium state.
31Important Notes about DS, DH and DG
CH4003 Lecture Notes 4 (Erzeng Xue)
Chemical Reaction
- DS, DH and DG are widely used in analysing
various systems. Our current discussion of these
function is limited to the application to a
reaction system. - A clear definition of the reaction conditions is
necessary before start calculation of these
properties. - There are many ways these thermodynamic
properties can be determined. Only most commonly
used ones in relation to a chemical reaction are
given. - It is very important to understand the study a
chemical reaction by means of thermodynamics
tells only state - a snapshot of system, and
how a process proceeds from one state to another
(reversible-irreversible, with or without work
done / exchange heat with surrounding). There is
no factor of time involved.

41Chemical Reaction - The Rate
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
- What is reaction rate?
- The rate of a chemical reaction refers to the
reactant consumption or the product formation per
unit time. - It is a quantitative measure of how fast a
reaction can proceed. - some reactions proceed very fast, other reactions
may proceed very slow - In thermodynamics where only the starting and
ending states are characterised - Why study the reaction rate?
- in industry we need to know how long do we need
to produce a certain product - the size and type of a reactor
- we also need to know what is the best reaction
conditions we should apply - using proper conditions such as T, P,
concentration etc. to speed up the desired
reaction - to suppress undesired side reactions
- when apply a catalyst how effective it is on the
desired / undesired reaction - A study of reaction rate often reveal information
on the reaction mechanism - A good understanding of reaction mechanism helps
us to find a more effective way to carry out a
reaction and sometimes leads to discovery of new
means of reaction - A study of reaction rate is often referred as a
study of Reaction Kinetics

- For a reaction vAA vBB vCC vDD
- The reactant consumption or the product formation
per unit time can be written as -
-
-
- similarly we can write (eqn.1)
- Are these the same rate?
- Depending on the stoichiometry coefficients. The
equivalent rate is - e.g. N2 3H2 2NH3
- The appearance of rate expression depends on the
way reaction equation is written. We use the
format (eqn.1) if there is no need to specify the
equivalent rates.
43Rate Equations (or Rate Laws) (1)
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- For a reaction vAA vBB vCC vDD (1)
- Consider molecules in a reaction system
- The more reactant molecules in the system, the
more chance for reactant molecules to meet - the
more effective collision between these molecules,
which lead to reaction to occur, thus - rate µ AB (2a)
- Reactant A molecules may differ from B molecules
in leading to reaction, this may be written as - rate µ AaBb (2b)
- If a reaction approaches equilibrium conversion,
the more product molecules in the system, the
more chance for product molecules to meet -
causing the reverse reaction, thus - reverse rate µ CD or rate µ 1/CD
C-1D-1 (3) - Considering the effectiveness of product C and D
molecules in causing the reverse reaction, we
have rate µ C lDd - Reaction rate, ri, in relation to
reactant/product i, in general form - where k is reaction rate constant
44Rate Equations (2)
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- Different appearances of rate equation
- For a reaction vAA vBB vCC vDD (1)
- If reaction is far away from equilibrium
conversion, the reverse reaction is negligible, - If reactant A in large excess, which means that
the conc. of A can be considered as constant, - Some reactions do not depend on the concentration
of neither reactant nor product, - There exist other more complicated forms of rate
equations. - How do we study different types of reaction? Or,
how we characterise these rate equations?
45Reaction Order
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- Definition
- Reaction order with respect to a specific
component (either reactant or product) to which
the conc. of that component is raised in the rate
eqn - For a reaction vAA vBB vCC vDD (1)
- If rate equation is
- the order w.r.t. A is a, the order w.r.t. B is
b, the order w.r.t. C is l, etc. - Overall Reaction order - is the sum of orders of
all reactants products - The overall order of the above reaction is
N(ab ld) - Note 1) A reaction order do not have to be an
integral, it can be a fraction. - e.g. C4H103.5O2C4H2O34H2O
- 2) Some rate eqns. are very complicated - we do
not use the term reaction order. - e.g. COH2OCO2H2
46Reaction Rate Constant
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- For a reaction vAA vBB vCC vDD
- The general form of rate equation
- k is the reaction rate constant
- Independent of reactant / product concentration
- Dependent on the reaction temperature
- The unit of k depends on the unit of all other
terms in the rate equation - e.g. (mol g-1 h-1), and Pi is the partial
pressure in bar - the unit of k
- Initially k is found to be temperature dependent,
further study shows that -
- or often written as
47Rate Constant Arrhenius Equation
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- The Arrhenius Equation (1)
- where A pre-exponential factor
- Ea is the reaction activation energy
- R is the gas constant
- T is the reaction temperature in Kelvin
- Eqn.1 was initially found from fitting
experimental results. After molecular kinetic
theory was established, the relation can be
derived directly from the theory - Usually A is related to the molecule collision
frequency or thermodynamically to the entropy - Ea is an energy term which related to the
- energy barrier for a reaction has to overcome
-
Arrhenius parameters
48Exp. Determination of Arrhenius Parameters
CH4003 Lecture Notes 6 (Erzeng Xue)
Reaction kinetics
- From the Arrhenius Equation (1)
- To determine A and Ea
- Take log
- Compare with linear equation yabx, where
ylnk, a lnA, b-Ea/R and x1/T - If when can measure k at various temperature Ts
- Note As k is a function of temperature, the k
value measured - at each T as mentioned above should be
different. - Therefore, the above method, strictly speaking,
gives - average values of Ea and A within the Ts
applied.
