1. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 3
Thermodynamics
Temperature: the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
Energy: the ability (or capacity) of a system to do work or supply (or produce) heat.
Heat: heat is the transfer of energy between two objects due to temperature differences.

Temperature
K = 0C + 273
Water boils at 100 0C or 212 0F or 373 K
Water freezes at 0 0C or 32 0F or 273 K
Absolute Zero (0 K = -2730C): theoretical temperature at which all atoms cease motion

3. Law of Conservation of Energy
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.”
The total amount of energy in the universe is constant. There is no process that can increase or decrease that amount.
However, we can transfer energy from one place (a system) in the universe to another (surroundings), and we can change its form.
Energy is stored in chemical bonds of matter.

4. Units of Energy
Calorie (cal) is the amount of energy needed to raise one gram of water by 1 °C.
kcal = energy needed to raise 1000 g of water 1 °C.
food calories = kcals.

12. Effect of Catalyst on Reaction Rate
What is a catalyst? What does it do during a chemical reaction?
Catalyst lowers the activation energy for the reaction.
No catalyst

reactants
Potential Energy
A catalyst lowers the activation energy for the reaction. This allows the reaction to occur at a much faster rate. The catalyst is not a reactant or product. It is not consumed during the chemical reaction.

An LP gas tank in a home barbecue contains 11.8 X 103g of propane (C3H8). Calculate the heat (in kJ) associated with the complete combustion of all of the propane in the tank. The heat of reaction is kJ/mol C3H8.

17. Heat Gain or Loss by an Object
The amount of heat energy gained or lost by an object depends on 3 factors: 1. how much material there is 2. what the material is 3. how much the temperature changed. Amount of Heat = Mass x Specific Heat x Temperature Change
q = m x C x DT

19. Heat Capacity
Heat capacity is the amount of heat a substance must absorb to raise its temperature by 1 °C.
cal/°C or J/°C.
Metals have low heat capacities; insulators have high heat capacities.
Specific heat = heat capacity of 1 gram of the substance.
cal/g°C or J/g°C.
Water’s specific heat = J/g°C for liquid.
Or cal/g°C.
It is less for ice and steam.

20. Specific Heat Capacities

21. Calorimetry q = m . C . DT ΔT = TF - TI m . C . DT = - [m . C . DT]
Object gaining heat = Object losing heat
+q = q
m . C . DT = [m . C . DT]
Material whose temperature increases gains heat while
materials whose temperature decreases lose heat.
Metals generally lose heat, while liquids (such as water)
generally gain heat in a system. We must account for all of the
heat energy in the system due to conservation of energy.
