THERMOCHEMISTRY
A branch of chemistry that focuses on the relationship
of heat and chemical reactions.
Energy (physics) is the ability to do work.
In chemistry, energy is not only utilized in physical
activities, but also in chemical reactions.
Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is
neither created nor destroyed, but is converted from
one form to another.
Energy and Its Forms
Kinetic – energy in motion
Potential – energy at rest
Mechanical – results from physical work
Radiant or Light – results from electromagnetic waves
Electrical – comes from moving charge
Thermal or Heat- comes from the constant motion of
molecules
Chemical – stored within the structure units of
substances
Nuclear – comes from nuclear reactions
Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
Heat is defined as the transfer between the system
and its surroundings due to a temperature difference.
System is the part of the universe being studied.
Surroundings is the part of the universe outside the
system separated by a boundary.
Classification of System
Open system allows the transfer of mass and energy.
For example, hot water in a cup evaporates and
eventually cools to the surroundings temperature
Isolated system do not allow the transfer of mass and
energy . Example is the contents of a leak proof
thermos bottle
Closed system allow the flow of energy but not mass.
An example is a closed bottle containing hot coffee
Exothermic / Endothermic
The process of transferring heat from the system to
the surroundings is known as exothermic process.
For example, burning of wood.
If the flow of heat is from the surroundings to the
system, it is known as endothermic process. For
example, melting of ice.
THERMODYNAMICS
THERMODYNAMICS
The study of the relationship between heat and other
forms of energy.
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS is similar to
the law of conservation of energy. It measures the
change in internal energy (∆E). Mathematically, it is
expressed as:
∆E = q + w
Wherein:
q = heat w = work
In solving problems, the following sign convention must
be used:
Energy entering a system is positive
Heat absorbed by the system (+)
Work done on the system (+)
Energy leaving a system is negative
Heat given off by the system (-)
Work done by the system (-)
Example
1. What is the change in internal energy of a system
that absorbs 523 J of heat and does 452 J of work as a
result?
Solution:
Given: heat added to the system ,q= +523 J
work done by the system,w = - 452 J
Computation: ∆E = q + w
= 523 J + (-425 J )
= 98 J Endothermic
2. A system receives 450 kJ of heat from its surroundings
and the surroundings do 50.0 kJ of work on the
system. What is the change in internal energy?
Solution: Because heat is received by the system (Q is
+), and work is done on the system ( w is +), so
∆E = Q + w
= 450 kJ + 50.0 kJ
= 500 kJ

HOW CAN WE
MEASURE HEAT?
CALORIMETER
Calorimetry is the measurement of the heat released
or absorbed during a physical or chemical process. It is
carried out within a device called calorimeter.
● two ways:
○ specific heat capacity (c)
○ molar heat capacity (cmol)
Specific Heat Capacity (c)
● the amount of energy needed to raise
the temperature of 1 gram of a given substance
by 1 oC or 1 K.
q = mc∆T
= 225 g X (4.18 J/(g0C) X (100.0 0C – 20.00C)
= 75,240 J
