Part of JPC-04 — Chemical Thermodynamics: Enthalpy, Entropy & Gibbs

Kirchhoff's Equation

by Notetube Official72 words8 views

deltaHdelta_H at temperature T2 = deltaHdelta_H at T1 + deltaCpdelta_{Cp}(T2 - T1). deltaCpdelta_{Cp} = sum(Cp products) - sum(Cp reactants). This allows calculation of enthalpy at non-standard temperatures. Similarly: deltaUdelta_U(T2) = deltaUdelta_U(T1) + deltaCvdelta_{Cv}(T2 - T1). If deltaCpdelta_{Cp} > 0, the reaction becomes more endothermic (or less exothermic) with increasing temperature. If deltaCpdelta_{Cp} < 0, it becomes more exothermic with increasing temperature. JEE rarely tests this directly but it appears in advanced problems.
