Physical Chemistry Professor Jeffrey R. Reimers FAA School of Chemistry, The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia Room 702 Chemistry School CCNU Tutor: Dr. Jia Falong Text: Atkins 9 th Edition assumed to be read before each lecture starting from the beginning slow and deep treatment Chapter 1 this week next week Chapter 2 or Chapter 3??? must know tomorrow Assessment: to be finalized next week - 50% exam (mid semester and end semester) - 20% tutorial exercises - 30% tutorial discussion plus challenge questions Challenge Questions- small assignments set in lectures for volunteers to do talk to me or Dr. Jia after the lecture for help, make small presentation to class at next lecture. To be shared amongst those that want to do them.

Page 1 Chapter F: Assumed Fundamentals Atomic mass M g/mol back cover M = 1,12,14 for H,C,N etc see text Molecules are made up of atoms at well defined geometries Molecular mass is the sum of its atomic masses Number of moles = actual mass / molecular mass n = m / M There are Avagadro s number of molecules per mole N A = 6.022 x 10 23.
Molecules are held together by bonds single, double, triple covalent bonds ionic bonds other types too
Physical Chemistry Fundamentals: Figure F.1
Physical Chemistry Chapter 1: Figure F.2
Polar bonds arise owing to mixing of covalent and ionic character dipole, quadrapole, octapole moments Eg. Water Q= 0.33 e H Q= -0.66 e O H Dipole Moment Q= 0.33 e µ = 4.8 3 atoms i= 1 = 1.8 Debye rq i i e = magnitude of the charge on the electron, 1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs The atomic charges provide a simple model depicting the average locations of the electrons. The dipole moment is a physical observable that is measured very accurately using microwave spectroscopy.
Intermolecular interactions cause molecules to condense into liquids and solids (including biological material) - Eg., electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, dispersion interactions Electrostatic interactions given by Coulomb s Law: - Unlike charges attract - condensation lowers the Coulomb potential energy V V 12 mol 1 mol 2 = i j QQ i 4πε r 0 j ij
Thermal motion opposes condensation: Kinetic Energy = atoms 1 mv 2 dr Atomic velocity = v i i = dt kt Classical mechanics : the average energy = per degree of freedom 2 k = Boltzmann's constant, T = temperature every atom in a moleule has 3 degrees of freedom representing motion in x, y, and z directions E k = i 2 i
- Classical mechanics predicts that motion stops at absolute zero T = 0 (note don t need to say 0 K, the unit is meaningless here; also room temperature is 298 K or 25 C) - Quantum mechanics indicates that motion can never stop H O 104.5 r OH = 0.9572 Å H 1 Å (Ångstrom) = 10-10 m Minimum allowed motion of each atom in each direction ± 0.1 Å!!!
Quantum mechanics allows only discrete energy levels for rotational, vibrational, and electronic motions Commonly used units of energy: hc E = hν = Spectroscopists: λ wavenumber = 1 / wavelength Physicists: E = QV ev energy = charge voltage Chemists: kcal/mol Text books: kj/mol 1 ev 8065 cm -1 1 kcal/mo l= 4.184 kj/mol 1 ev = 23.06 kcal/mol 1 kcal/mol 350 cm -1 At 298 K, RT = 2.479 kj/mol = 0.592 kcal/mol = 0.0257 ev 207.2 cm -1. R = gas constant = N A k
Quantum mechanics demands that the relative populations of each energy level be given by the Boltzmann Equation N N i j = ( E E )/ kt e i j where i and j are the level indices, N their populations, and E their energies
Physical Chemistry Chapter 1: Figure F.5 Increasing temperature Relative population N N N i j = ( E E )/ kt e i j
Physical Chemistry Chapter 1: Figure F.6 E N E 1 100 1000 20000 cm -1 1 0 / N 1 0 0.995 0.62 0.008 1 10-42 Relative populations at room temperature kt = 207.2 cm -1. N i N Vibrational & Electronic: 0 = e ( E E )/ kt Rotational: i 0 N i N 0 i = (2i + 1) e ( E E )/ kt 0
But translational motions not quantized Quantum mechanics reduces to the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann Equation v = velocity of molecule M = molar mass of molecule f(v)= probability distribution
