Enthelpy of Reaction under Constant Volume?

In summary, under isobaric conditions, enthalpy is equal to internal energy. However, under isochoric conditions, the change in internal energy is equal to the heat added, while the change in enthalpy is equal to the heat added plus the pressure times the change in volume. Therefore, enthalpy is not equal to internal energy under isochoric conditions.

Homework Statement


So we know Enthalpy under constant Pressure and Internal Energy under Constant Volume. By

H = U + dPdV

U= I + W

W= -PdV

under Isobaric conditions


H = I -PdV + dPdV
= U

Enthalpy = Internal Energy
_________________________________________
Under Isochoric Conditions
W= O because change in V =o

so U = q + 0
Internal Energy = q

But wouldn't Enthalpy also = q under constant volume since dPdV = 0 as well if volume isn't changing?

Homework Equations


H = U + dPdV

U= I + W

W= -PdV

The Attempt at a Solution


( Outlined above)

Am i confusing the dPdV specific to enthalpy and PdV in work?

Looks confusing. what's the question?

H = U + PV so dH = dU + pdV + Vdp
dH = dU + Vdp under isochoric
but dU = dQ - pdV = dQ under isochoric
so dH = dQ + Vdp under isochoric.

Is that something like what you're looking for?

Yeah. I see. So Enthalpy = Internal Energy + Change in Pressure times volume.
While change in internal energy (dU) = q + Change in Volume times pressure.

is this correct?

enthalpy = internal energy plus pressure times volume ... basic statement, always true
change in internal energy = heat added minus pressure times change in volume. "Change" should read "differential change". To get change you integrate differential changes.

No, you are not confusing the two. The dPdV in the equation for enthalpy (H = U + dPdV) represents the change in pressure and volume at constant temperature, whereas the PdV in the equation for work (W = -PdV) represents the work done on or by the system due to a change in volume. In the equation for enthalpy, dPdV can also be written as dPV because pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature. Therefore, in a constant volume process, dPdV (or dPV) is equal to zero, but the PdV in the work equation is not. This is why enthalpy and internal energy are equal under constant volume, but the work done is not necessarily zero.
 

1. What is enthalpy of reaction under constant volume?

Enthalpy of reaction under constant volume is the change in heat energy of a chemical reaction that occurs at a constant volume. It is a measure of the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

2. How is enthalpy of reaction under constant volume calculated?

The enthalpy of reaction under constant volume can be calculated using the equation: ΔH = Q - PΔV, where Q is the heat released or absorbed, P is the pressure, and ΔV is the change in volume.

3. What is the difference between enthalpy of reaction under constant volume and enthalpy of reaction under constant pressure?

The main difference between enthalpy of reaction under constant volume and enthalpy of reaction under constant pressure is that the former measures the heat change at a constant volume, while the latter measures the heat change at a constant pressure. This can result in different values for the enthalpy of reaction, as the volume and pressure can change during a chemical reaction.

4. How does enthalpy of reaction under constant volume affect the temperature of a system?

Enthalpy of reaction under constant volume can affect the temperature of a system by changing the internal energy of the system. If the reaction releases heat (exothermic), the temperature of the system will increase. If the reaction absorbs heat (endothermic), the temperature of the system will decrease.

5. Can enthalpy of reaction under constant volume be negative?

Yes, enthalpy of reaction under constant volume can be negative. This indicates that the reaction is exothermic and releases heat energy. A positive value indicates an endothermic reaction, where heat energy is absorbed.
