Unit 5: Thermochemistry
  1. Thermochemistry
    1. the study of the transfers of energy as heat that accompany chemical reactions and physical changes
    2. Temperature and heat are related but not idential
      1. Calorimeter
        1. The energy absorbed or released as heat in a chemical or physical change is measured in a calorimeter
        2. Therefore, the energy given off (or absorbed) during the reaction is equal to the energy absorbed (or given off) by the known quantity of water.
          1. The amount of energy is determined from the temperature change of the known mass of surrounding water.
          2. The data collected from calorimetry experiments are temperature changes because energy cannot be measured directly; but temperature, which is affected by the transfer of energy as heat, is directly measurable.
            1. For calculations in thermochemistry, we use the Celsius and Kelvin scales. Celsius and Kelvin temperatures are related by the following equation.
              1. K = 273.15 + °C
                1. For most calculations in this book, 273.15 is rounded to 273.
                2. Heat
                  1. energy transferred between samples of matter because of a difference in their temperatures.
                  2. Energy transferred as heat always moves spontaneously from matter at a higher temperature to matter at a lower temperature.
                  3. Temperature
                    1. a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
                      1. The greater the kinetic energy of the particles in a sample, the higher the temperature is and the hotter it feels
                      2. Joule
                        1. the SI unit of heat as well as all other forms of energy.
                          1. The joule, abbreviated J, is derived from the units for force and length.
                            1. N x m = kg x m^2 / s^2
                            2. Specific heat
                              1. amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree (1°C) or one kelvin (1 K) (because the sizes of the degree divisions on both scales are equal).
                              2. enthalpy change
                                1. the amount of energy absorbed by a system as heat during a process at constant pressure.
                                2. The enthalpy of reaction
                                  1. the quantity of energy transferred as heat during a chemical reaction.
                                  2. thermochemical equation
                                    1. an equation that includes the quantity of energy released or absorbed as heat during the reaction as written.
                                      1. In any thermochemical equation, we must always interpret the coefficients as numbers of moles and never as numbers of molecules.
                                      2. in an endothermic reaction—products have a larger enthalpy than reactants.
                                        1. Thermochemical equations are usually written by designating the value of ∆H, rather than by writing the energy as a reactant or product. For an exothermic reaction, ∆H is always negative because the system loses energy
