Study Notes

Thermochemistry

  • Studies energy changes during chemical reactions and state changes.

Chemical Potential Energy

  • Energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.

Heat

  • Energy transferred between objects due to temperature differences.

System

  • A defined part of the universe focused on during analysis; can vary in size.

Law of Conservation of Energy

  • Energy cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical processes.

Endothermic Process

  • Absorbs heat from surroundings leading to a temperature drop in the environment.

Exothermic Process

  • Releases heat into the surroundings, increasing external temperature.

Heat Capacity

  • The amount of heat needed to increase an object's temperature by 1ºC.

Specific Heat

  • The heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1ºC.

Calorimetry

  • Technique for measuring heat flow into or out of a system during chemical and physical changes.

Calorimeter

  • Insulated device designed to measure heat absorption or release.

Enthalpy (H)

  • Represents the heat content of a system at constant pressure.

Thermochemical Equation

  • A chemical equation that incorporates the enthalpy change associated with the reaction.

Heat of Reaction

  • Enthalpy change for a specific chemical equation as written.

Heat of Combustion

  • The enthalpy change associated with the complete burning of one mole of a substance.

Molar Heat of Fusion (∆Hfus)

  • Heat absorbed to convert one mole of a solid into a liquid at a constant temperature.

Molar Heat of Solidification (∆Hsolid)

  • Heat released when one mole of a liquid solidifies at a constant temperature.

Molar Heat of Condensation (∆Hcond)

  • Heat released by one mole of vapor when it condenses into a liquid at constant temperature.

Molar Heat of Solution (∆Hsoln)

  • Enthalpy change occurring during the dissolution of one mole of a substance.

Hess's Law of Heat Summation

  • States that the total heat of reaction can be found by adding heats of individual reactions.

Standard Heat of Formation (ΔHf)

  • Enthalpy change when forming one mole of a compound from its elements, measured under standard conditions (25°C).
