Thermochemistry is the study of the heat changes that occur during chemical reactions. It involves understanding concepts such as energy, heat, enthalpy, temperature, and specific heat. This text provides an overview of these concepts and explains how to calculate heat changes in various scenarios.

Thermochemistry Study of the heat changes that occur during a chemical reaction
Energy The capacity to do work or generate heat
When bonds are made, energy is released. When bonds are broken, energy is absorbed.
Heat (q) Energy that is transferred between objects that have a temperature difference
Law of Conservation of Energy In any process, energy is neither created nor destroyed
Some reactions absorb energy (heat) and some give off energy(heat).
Exothermic Reaction A reaction that releases heat into the surroundings (heat exits)
Endothermic Reaction A reaction that absorbs heat from the surroundings (heat goes en)
Enthalpy Change (DH) Amount of heat lost or gained in a reaction (unit = kJ)
Temperature (T) A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
Heat (Q) Energy that is transferred between objects that have a temperature difference
Heat (Q) Is measured in Joules (J) (or kJ) 1 kJ = 1000 J
So…how do we measure heat? We can only measure changes in heat (absolute heat doesn’t exist)
Specific Heat Amount of heat needed to raise the temp of 1g of a substance 1°C Unit =
The Heat Equation Q = mCpDT Q = heat (joules-J) m = mass (grams) Cp = specific heat (J/g °C) DT = change in temp (°C)
How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 350 grams of water from 0.0°C to 25°C? 37000 Joules
A 450 gram sample of water cools from 55°C to 10.0°C. How much heat is lost? 85000 Joules
A 15.8-gram piece of zinc increases in temperature from 5.5°C to 6.9°C when 8.5 Joules of heat are added. What is the specific heat of zinc? 0.38 J/g°C
calorie (cal) Quantity of heat needed to raise the temp of 1g of pure water 1°C
How much heat is needed to increase the temperature of 10g H2O from 35°C to 45°C? 100 cal
1000 calories = 1 Calorie(Calorie is the kind on food labels, etc)
Calorimeter An insulated chamber used to measure the amount of heat absorbed or released during a reaction
What happens when the phase is not changing: When heat energy is added, the molecules move faster and faster, increasing the temperature
What happens during a phase change: When heat energy is added, instead of increasing the temperature (increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules), the intermolecular bonds are broken, changing the phase of the substance.
Heat of Fusion (Hf) Amount of heat necessary to convert a given amount of a solid into a liquid Q = mHf
Heat of Vaporization (Hv) Amount of heat necessary to vaporize a given amount of liquid at its boiling point Q = mHv
