Chem thermo Flashcards
calorimetry
measurement of heat change
calorimeter
device that measure the amt/ of heat absorbed/released
ex. styrofoam cup
coffee cup calorimeter
record temp change as chem react
bomb calorimeter
food lit on fire
temp change is dependent on
- amt. of heat added
- mass of substance
- composition of the substance
specific heat (c)
amt. of heat needed to raise the temp of 1 gram of a substance by 1 celsius
units of specific heat
cal/g’C
J/g’C
specific heat of H2O
4.18 J/g’C
1 cal/g’C
q=mct
q=heat (J or cal)
m=mass (g)
c= specific heat
t= change in temp (‘C), T final - T initial
thermochemistry
study of heat changes
energy
ability to do work/supply heat
heat
form of energy
temp
measure of heat
chem potential energy
stored energy in bonds
law of conservation of energy
energy can’t be created or destroyed only converted
