This document provides an overview of thermochemistry and key concepts related to heat and energy transfers during chemical and physical processes. It defines important terms like heat, temperature, enthalpy, and heat capacity. It also distinguishes between endothermic and exothermic reactions, and describes heat changes associated with phase changes like melting, vaporization, solidification, and condensation. Specific concepts covered include Hess's law of heat summation, standard heats of formation and reaction, and calculating heat changes using thermochemical data.
2. 2
Thermochemistry- is the study of the transfer
of energy as heat that accompany chemical
reactions and physical changes
Introductory Objectives
1. Explain the relationship between energy
and heat
2. Distinguish between heat capacity and
specific heat
Thermochemistry
3. 3
Energy
Energy - the capacity for doing work or supplying heat
Chemical potential energy – the energy stored within
the structural units of chemical substances
Different substances store different amounts of energy.
The kinds of atoms and their arrangement in the
substance determine the amount of energy stored in
the substance.
All energy in a process can be accounted for as work,
stored energy, or heat
Law of Conservation of Energy – In any physical or
chemical process, energy is neither created nor
destroyed
4. 4
Heat (Q)
Heat – energy that transfers from one object
to another because of a temperature
difference between them
Cannot be detected by the senses or
instruments
Only changes caused by heat can be
detected!!!
Always flows from a warmer object to a cooler
object
If two objects remain in contact, eventually
the temperature of both objects will be the
same
5. 5
Systems
System- part of the universe on which you
focus your attention
Surroundings – include everything else in the
universe
Universe – the system and the surroundings
Example: Chemicals and water are in a
beaker. (Universe) Your system includes the
chemicals and water. The beaker is the
surrounding.
6. 6
Endothermic and Exothermic
Reactions
Endothermic reaction: heat, Q, flows INTO a system (heat
is absorbed); measured in joules (J) and is always
a positive number.
Examples: melting of ice, evaporation of a puddle,
sublimation of a mothball, heat used to cook food
During endothermic phase changes, energy absorbed
does not increase the temperature because the energy is
being used to overcome attractions between particles.
(Think of water and ice being able to simultaneously
exist at 0°C)
These reactions will
feel COLD as heat
is drawn in
7. 7
What value of q is endothermic?
Exothermic reaction: heat, Q, flows OUT of the system
(heat is given off), joules will be a negative number.
Examples: combustion of fossil fuels, cooling of skin as
perspiration evaporates, freezing of water
Bond-formation
These reactions feel HOT
as heat is given off
8. 8
Heat vs. Temperature
Temperature: a measurement of the average
kinetic energy of the particles
Not the same thing as:
Heat: the energy transferred between
samples of matter because of a difference in
their temperatures.
9. 9
Think!
Suppose two identical candles are used to heat
two samples of water. One sample is a cup of
water; the other is 10 gallons of water in a drum.
1. How will the change in temperature of the
samples compare?
Practically no change in the drum; a large increase
in the cup
2. How will the amount of heat received by each
container compare?
Both containers receive the same amount of heat
10. 10
Specific Heat Capacity
Q = m c ΔT
c = specific heat capacity (J/g٠K)
Q = heat transferred (J)
ΔT = change in temperature (K)
m = mass (g)
Do problems 7-9 on page 552
J g (J/g٠K) K
11. 11
Specific Heat Capacity
Refer to Table 1 on page 533
Note that the temperature of water changes
less than the temperature of iron because the
specific heat capacity of water is larger.
Specific heat capacity (specific heat) – the
amount of heat it takes to raise the
temperature of 1 g of the substance 1°C
Specific heat (c) is a measure of a substance
to store heat. The specific heats of
substances can be compared because the
quantity (1 g) of matter involved is specified.
12. 12
Joule – the SI unit of heat and energy
A joule of heat raises the temperature of 1 g
of pure water 0.2390 °C
1 J = 0.2390 cal 4.184 J = 1 cal
Heat capacity – amount of heat needed to
increase the temperature of an object exactly
1°C
Besides varying with mass, the heat capacity
of an object also depends on its chemical
composition
13. 13
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
calorie- the quantity of heat needed to raise
the temperature of 1g of pure water 1°C
Calorie = 1000 calories (refers to energy in
food)
1 Calorie = 1kilocalorie = 1000 calories
“10g of sugar has 41 Calories” means that
10g of sugar releases 41 kilocalories of heat
when completely burned to produce carbon
dioxide and water
14. 14
Do Now
What is the relationship between a joule and
a calorie? Calorie and a dietary calorie?
What is the difference between specific heat
capacity and heat capacity? Give examples.
Explain how you could manipulate a liquid to
bring it to a boil.
15. 15
Objectives
1. Construct equations that show the heat
changes for chemical and physical processes
2. Calculate heat changes in chemical and
physical processes
Think! A match won’t ignite unless you strike
it and add the heat produced from friction. Is
the burning of a match an endothermic
reaction?
Is there a way to measure how much heat is
released from a burning match?
16. 16
Answer to Think!
No; the reaction releases more energy in the
form of heat and light than the amount of
energy it absorbs to start.
Yes, but only indirectly. If the reaction were
confined, then any temperature changes in
the surroundings could be attributed to heat
transfer from the reaction.
17. 17
Calorimetry
The accurate and precise measurement of heat
change for chemical and physical processes
Need insulated container
1. Constant pressure calorimeter
2. Bomb calorimeter – constant volume
Measures the heat released from burning a
compound; closed system: the mass of the system is
constant
The heat released by the system is equal to the heat
absorbed by its surroundings
18. 18
Enthalpy (H)
Heat changes for reactions carried out at
constant pressure, represented by a ΔH
The text uses heat and enthalpy
interchangeably
Heat change for a chemical reaction carried
out in aqueous solution:
Q = ΔH = mcΔT
If Exothermic: ΔH = negative number
If Endothermic: ΔH = positive number
19. 19

The physical state of the reactants and products
must be given
Standard conditions = 101.3 kPa (1atm) and 25
°C
Amount of heat absorbed or released depends
on the number of moles
21. 21

one mole of a substance
Refer to Table 11.4 on page 305

Review
Specific heat capacity (specific heat) – the amount of heat it
takes to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance 1°C
C = q ÷ (m x ΔT)
Enthalpy (H) - Heat changes for reactions carried out at
constant pressure
Heat change for a chemical reaction carried out in aqueous
solution:
q = ΔH = m x C x ΔT
Like other heats of reaction, heats of combustion are reported
as the enthalpy changes when the reactions are carried out at
101.3 kPa of pressure and the reactants and products are in
their physical states at 25 °C
H is enthalpy or heat content
ΔH represents a change in the heat content

The molar heat of fusion is the heat absorbed
by one mole of a substance in melting from a
solid to a liquid at a constant temperature.
The heat lost when one mole of a liquid
solidifies at a constant temperature is the
molar heat of solidification. Because energy is
conserved in all chemical and physical
changes, the quantity of heat absorbed by the
melting solid must equal the quantity of heat
lost when the liquid solidifies.

ΔHfus = - ΔHsolid
ΔHvap = - ΔHcond
Values are numerically the same, but the
values have different signs
Fusion—endothermic—Vaporization (+)
Solidification – exothermic—Condensation (-)

temperature will not rise above 0°C until all of
the ice has melted.

change in enthalpy that accompanies the
formation of one mole of a compound from its
elements with all substances at their standard
states at 25°C

element in its standard state is arbitrarily set
at 0. (Includes diatomic molecules and
graphite form of carbon)

of one mole of a substance
Examples: (Refer to page 312)
1. Exothermic molar heat of solution:
sodium hydroxide dissolved in water, hot
pack that mixes calcium chloride and water
2. Endothermic molar heat of solution: cold
pack that allows water and ammonium nitrate
to mix (Heat is released from the water and
the temperature of the solution decreases.)
