                                      ENERGETICS

      Energetics is an important topic for both jee main and advanced
      It is a high scoring chapter and a good hold on concepts and
      formulae will be enough to score well. Energetics consists of
      both thermodynamics and thermochemistry. Thermodynamics
      forms an integral part of physics for jee advanced while
      thermochemistry is exclusive to chemistry.

      Important Points:

      1. When energy is transferred as heat, the transfer stimulates
           random motion. When a system does work, it stimulates
           orderly motion.
     
      2.  In chemistry, work done by the system on the surroundings
           is given a negative sign.

      3.  Internal energy does not include the kinetic energy arising 
           from the motion of a system.

      4.  Internal energy is a state function.
  
      5.  In an ideal gas, the internal energy is independent of the
           volume occupied by the gas.

      6.  Internal energy increases with increase in temperature.

      7.  Both work and heat are path functions.


      



      
      Intensive and Extensive properties:

      Intensive -  Temperature , Density, Resistance, Pressure ,
                         standard electrode potential , molar volume 

      Extensive - mass, volume, internal energy , heat capacity ,
                         enthalpy , entropy, Gibbs energy , mole


      Enthalpy:

      1. It is the energy supplied as heat at constant pressure.
   
      2. H = U + PV

      3. For an ideal gas only ,  H = U + nRT

      4. Enthalpy is a state function


      Important formulae :


        
               
         
      

       Thermochemistry:

       
       Important Points:

       



    

       
       Note:
     
       Heat of formation of nitrous oxide ,  nitrogen dioxide , nitric
       oxide are positive.

      Most stable form of phosphorous at 1 atm is black phosphorous.

      Calorific value -  It is the value of heat produced by burning 
                                  1 gram of fuel.
  
      

     I have attached 2 questions from P. Bahadur which will
     strengthen your hold on thermochemistry. 

   


      

      


    
       
     
    Third Law of Thermodynamics:

    1. At 0 K, the entropy of a pure crystal is 0.

    2. However there are exceptions to this. eg. Ice , CO2 etc.
        These compounds have some residual entropy.


     I am certain that all of you will be comfortable in calculating
     work done in the common processes. Hence , i have not covered
     this. Remember that the direct formula in the case of adiabatic
     process is applicable only in the reversible case. Polytropic
     processes will be covered in physics and are generally not 
     asked in chemistry.

    Thank you all for reading the notes for this chapter.
                               Always remember

                           CHEMISTRY IS EASY
