    Study Notes

    Thermochemistry

    • Thermochemistry is the study of heat change in chemical reactions.
    • It focuses on the energy changes, particularly the system's energy exchange with its surroundings.
    • It is useful in predicting reactant and product quantities throughout a given reaction.

    Learning Objectives

    • Explain the energy changes during chemical reactions.
    • Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic processes.
    • Explain the first law of Thermodynamics.
    • Do exercises on thermochemical calculations.
    • Explain enthalpy of a reaction.

    Activity #2: Physical or Chemical Changes?

    • A series of images will be flashed on the screen.
    • Students must identify if the image shows a physical or chemical change.
    • No erasing or pencil/frixion pen usage is allowed.

    Physical Changes Examples

    • Melting of ice cream
    • Moist formation on glass

    Chemical Changes Examples

    • Deterioration of metals
    • Formation of precipitate (a solid formed by a change in a solution)
    • Sublimation of solid iodine

    Thermochemistry: Common Applications

    • Thermocolor cup - a special temperature-sensitive ink called thermochromic leucodyes change color when there is a temperature change of about 5°C (9°F) or more
    • Vacuum flask - also called a thermos flask or Dewer flask, it preserves liquefied gases by preventing the transfer of heat; minimized radiation by silvering glass or steel
    • Fuels and combustion: Understanding the amount of energy produced during fuel burning helps in creating more efficient power plants, heating systems and engines.
    • Refrigeration and air conditioning: Endothermic processes in air conditioners and refrigerators absorb heat to cool air. Thermochemistry aids energy efficiency.
    • Cooking: Heat is essential for cooking, altering food content and structure. Endothermic reactions (e.g., activating yeast for bread rising) are used.
    • Metabolism: The human body uses chemical processes that generate heat, absorb, and release energy, supporting physical activity.
    • Battery technology: Exothermic reactions power lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and smartphones.
    • Explosives and fireworks: Exothermic reactions produce heat, light, and sound as the basis of explosives and fireworks. Compounds burn, releasing energy.

    Heat

    • The transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures.
    • Represented by "q"
    • Implies the transfer of energy in absorption or release during a process.

    System and Surroundings

    • "Universe" is the area where constant heat energy flows.
    • "System" is the part of the universe under study or focus.
    • "Surroundings" is everything else in the universe.

    Types of Systems

    • Open system: exchanges mass and energy (usually heat) with surroundings.
    • Closed system: allows transfer of heat energy but not mass.
    • Isolated system: does not allow transfer of either mass or energy.

    Endothermic vs. Exothermic

    • Endothermic: Thermodynamic reaction/process absorbs heat.
      • Heat is supplied to the system by the surroundings.
    • Exothermic: Thermodynamic reaction/process releases heat.
      • Heat is supplied to the surroundings by the system.

    First Law of Thermodynamics

    • It shows that the change in energy of a system is equal to the heat absorbed by the system and the work done on it.
    • Expressed as U = q + w, where
      • ∆U = change in internal energy of the system
      • q = heat exchange between the system and its surroundings
      • w = work done on or by the system

    Calorimetry

    • Derived from Latin "calor" (heat) and Greek "metron" (measure).
    • Performed using a calorimeter.
    • First ice calorimeter used by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace to measure heat in chemical changes.

    Specific Heat

    • The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1°C.
    • Formula: q = mcΔT (where q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is change in temperature).
    • It is an intensive property. Specific heat values for various substances are given
