Title: Physical Chemistry - In-depth Notes
1. Introduction to Physical Chemistry:
Definition: Physical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study
of the physical properties and behavior of matter, as well as the energy changes
that occur during chemical reactions.
Scope: Physical chemistry combines principles of physics and chemistry to
understand the fundamental principles governing chemical systems.
Definition: Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations in
chemical systems.
Laws of Thermodynamics:
First Law: Conservation of energy; energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
Second Law: The entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over
time.
Third Law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a pure
crystalline substance approaches zero.
Concepts:
Enthalpy (H) and internal energy (U): Measure of energy in a system.
Entropy (S): Measure of disorder or randomness.
Gibbs Free Energy (G): A measure of the spontaneity of a process.
Hess's Law: Total enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the path
taken.
