Exothermic Process
A process that loses heat to surroundings
Endothermic process
A process that absorbs heat from the surroundings
System
the part of the universe being studied
Heat capacity
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object exactly 1 degree celsius
Enthalpy (H)
the amount of heat that a system has at a constant pressure
Heat of combustion
The heat of reaction for the complete burning of 1 mole of substance
Calorimetry
The measurement of heat changes for chemical/physical processes
Molar heat of: fusion / solidification / vaporization / solution
- Fusion: the heat absorbed by 1 mol of a substance in melting
- Solidification: The heat lost when 1 mol of a liquid solidifies at a constant temperature
- Vaporization: The amount of heat necessary to vaporize 1 mol of liquid
- Solution: the heat change caused by dissolving 1 mol of substance
ΔHvap = ?
ΔHvap = -ΔHcond
Standard heat of formation
The change in enthalpy that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its elements
Hess’s Law of Heat Summation
In a specific chemical reaction, the enthalpy change is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps
Symbol for standard heat of formation
ΔH0/f
ΔH0
Sum of products - sum of reactants
