    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
