1. Aim: What is thermochemistry?

2. Law of Conservation of Energy In any chemical or physical process, energy is neither created nor destroyed. There are different forms of energy and energy can be changed from one form to another. Chemical energyElectrical energy Electromagnetic radiationHeat (thermal) energy Mechanical energyNuclear energy

3. Heat Heat q is energy that transfers from one object to another because of a temperature difference between them.

4. Heat Flow Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object until the temperature of both objects is the same.

5. Exothermic and Endothermic Process Exothermic process: Energy is GIVEN OFF in a chemical reaction from the system to the surroundings. ◦System become cooler Endothermic process: Energy is ABSORBED in a chemical reaction by the system from the surroundings ◦System becomes hotter

6. How do we measure energy? Energy is measured in units of calories or joules. ◦1 Calorie = 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories ◦1000 joules = 1 kilojoule ◦1 J = 0.2390 cal ◦4.18 J = 1 cal

7. Heat Formula (how much heat in joules is absorbed or released) q = mCΔT q = heat m = mass C = specific heat capacity ΔT = change in temperature ( T final – T initial)

8. Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance 1 o C. Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g C ◦4.18 joules is needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 o C

9. Problem 1 How many kilojoules of heat are absorbed when 1.00 L of water is heated from 18 C to 85 C?

10. Problem 2 The temperature of a 95.4 g- piece of copper increases from 25 C to 48 C when copper absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specific heat of copper?

11. Practice 1. How much heat is absorbed when 500. g of water, C = 4.184 J/gC, goes from 25.0 o C to 35.0 o C? 2. How much heat is absorbed when 500. g of copper, C = 0.385 J/gC, goes from 25.0 o C to 35.0 o C? 3. How much heat is released when 150. g of iron cools from 525 o C to 100 O C? (C = 0.44 J/gC) 4. A 50.0 g block of glass (C = 0.50 J/gC) absorbs 333 joules of heat energy. How much does the temperature of the glass rise?

12. Practice 5. The temperature of a silver coin (C= 0.24 J/gC) falls by 353 o C as it releases 5,550 Joules of heat. What is the mass of the coin? 6. An aluminum can with a mass of 12.5 grams (C =.90 J/gC) absorbs 245 Joules of heat. How much does the temperature rise?
