Thermochemistry is the study of heat
  changes that accompany chemical
  reactions and phase changes.
There are two types of energy
   Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy


As temperature increases, the kinetic
 energy (motion) of particles increases.

 Potential energy is stored energy.
 Potential energy is stored in chemical
 bonds.
There are two types of energy
   Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

 Energy can be converted between the
 two types but it cannot be created or
 destroyed
 = The law of conservation of energy
Heat (q) is energy that flows from a
 warmer object to a cooler object.
• When the warmer object loses heat, its
  temperature decreases and molecules
  move slower.

• When the cooler object absorbs heat, its
  temperature rises and its molecules speed up.

• Heat flows until both objects have
  the same temperature.
HEAT        vs. TEMPERATURE
     Energy         measures average
                      kinetic energy

 Depends on the           Independent of
amount of substance         sample size

A drop of boiling water on your hand doesn’t
hurt as much as a pot of boiling water.
Same temperature (100ºC), but different
amounts of heat.
Cold and hot

• Cold is the sensation of molecules
  slowing down (decreasing temperature)

• Hot is the sensation of molecules
  speeding up (increasing temperature)



Hot and cold are relative. A warm cup can feel
very hot if your hand has been in snow.
In thermochemistry, it is useful to
  divide the universe into two parts
The system- The thing we are studying
The surroundings- Everything else

  universe = system + surroundings
• Enthalpy (H) is the heat content of
  a system at constant pressure.

• Most processes involve a change in enthalpy (ΔH)
  which can be measured in a lab.


 • ΔH is measured in J or kJ
The change in enthalpy for a reaction is called the
 enthalpy (heat) of reaction (∆Hrxn).
∆Hrxn is the difference between the enthalpy of
 products and the enthalpy of the reactants.




 The total enthalpy change is a sum of all bonds
 that are broken or formed during a reaction.

Bond breaking = requires energy
Bond forming = releases energy
A process or reaction is either

 EXOTHERMIC or ENDOTHERMIC
Heat (energy) goes Heat (energy) goes
out of the system   into the system
ΔH is negative       ΔH is positive
energy is given off      energy is absorbed
EXOTHERMIC =
Products have
lower energy than
reactants



ENDOTHERMIC =
Products have higher
energy than reactants
TNT



Higher energy   →     lower energy
                         +
                    energy released!
You can tell if a reaction is
  endothermic or exothermic by touch.

Remember- the system determines the
sign of ΔH and we are part of the
surroundings

A reaction that feels
cold has heat going
from your finger
INTO THE SYSTEM
= endothermic


A hot reaction has heat
coming OUT OF THE
SYSTEM = exothermic
Equations for endothermic
processes have energy as a reactant.
 sunlight + 6CO2(g) + H2O(l) 
                C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)

Equations for exothermic processes
have energy as a product.
 Propane(g) + O2(g) 
             CO2(g) + H2O(g) + heat
