Unit 12
Thermochemistry
THERMOCHEMISTRY
A branch of thermodynamics which focuses on the
study of heat given off or absorbed in a chemical
reaction.
Heat absorbed: A + B + heat C
Heat given off: A + B C + heat

HEAT is the transfer of energy from one body to another as a
result of a difference in temperature or a change in
phase.
• Expressed as Q in math equations.
• Units used to measure heat is joules or kilojoules
Direction of Heat or Q.
Excited atoms’ vibration (more
energy) cause atoms nearby to
also vibrate vigorously.
Therefore, you can say heat
transfer from hot to cold. Temperature:
100 C
Temperature 0 C
Heat from the body is warmer than
the temperature of the surrounding.
Therefore, heat will transfer
towards the direction that is colder.
The person may lose enough body
temperature (heat) and can
experience hypothermia.
EXAMPLES
Heat from the body is transferred to
the ice pack so that the injured
muscle tissues can heal.
Heat
EXAMPLES The temperature that is surrounding
the icy water is warmer than the ice
water. Therefore, the heat will
transfer from the surrounding
(warmer) to the ice water (colder).
One observes the ice (solid water)
changing phase (liquid water) or
melting because heat has moved in.
And also one observes
condensation which is water vapor
from the surrounding air (gaseous
water) changing phase (liquid
water) on the glass because the
glass temperature is colder than the
surrounding (warmer).
TEMPERATURE is the measure of the average kinetic energy (KE) of the
particles in a sample of matter.
• Expressed as T in math equations
• or ΔT – change in temperature.
• Units used Celsius (ºC) or Kelvin (K).
Lower temperature means the particles have a lower average
kinetic energy. Higher temperature means the particles have
higher average kinetic energy.

HEAT vs TEMPERATURE
Heat is a measure
of transferred
energy.
Temperature is a
measure of average
kinetic energy
contained in that
matter.

SPECIFIC HEAT is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature
of a substance by one degree Celsius
• Expressed as c in math equations
897 j/kg·K
(specific heat)
is required to
raise the
temperature of
aluminum by
1ºC.
Different materials heat up at different rates
(different specific heat).
Example of different SPECIFIC HEAT
So which material has the highest specific heat?
So which material has the highest specific heat?
Water has the highest specific heat on this chart.
That is why water is used sometimes as coolant because it
takes a lot of heat (4.18 j/g·ºC) in order for it to only raise
its temperature by 1ºC.
• Water and lead do not transfer heat at the same value.
Water has a specific heat (C) = 4.18 J/goC
lead has a specific heat (C) = 0.13 J/goC
• What does their specific heat numbers mean?
It means it requires 4.18 Joules of energy to heat 1 gram of
water to 1oC more and only 0.13 Joules of energy to heat 1
gram of lead to 1oC more.
Water heats up slowly and requires a lot of energy whereas
lead does not.
In other words…
if you compare water to lead,
That is why water is used sometimes as coolant because it
takes a lot of heat (4.18 j/g·ºC) in order for it to only raise
its temperature by 1ºC.

Example 1- SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
How much heat is required to be absorbed to raise
the temperature of 6 g of water, 5 ˚C?
(specific heat of water is 4.18 J/ g·˚C)
The question looks complicated at first so break the process
down to solve.
Example SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
How much heat is required to be absorbed to raise
the temperature of 6 g of water, 5 ˚C?
(specific heat of water is 4.18 J/ g·˚C)
First, circle what is it that they are asking for and then underline the
given data.
Example SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
How much heat is required to be absorbed to raise
the temperature of 6 g of water, 5 ˚C?
(specific heat of water is 4.18 J/ g·˚C)
Second, decide which formula to use by looking at the what you have
circled or what they are asking for.
Q = m c ∆T or c = Q
m ∆T This stands for heat. This stands for
specific heat.
Example SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
How much heat is required to be absorbed to raise
the temperature of 6 g of water, 5 ˚C? (specific
heat of water is 4.18 J/ g·˚C)
They are asking about heat (what we circled) so we will use the first
formula.
Q = m c ∆T or c = Q
m ∆T This stands for heat. This stands for
specific heat.
Example SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
Q = m c ∆T
Q = (6g) (4.18 j/g●°C) (5 °C)
Q = 125.4 j
How much heat is required to be absorbed to raise
the temperature of 6 g of water, 5 ˚C?
(specific heat of water is 4.18 J/ g·˚C)
So in the calculator, it should read 6 · 4.18 · 5 =
Δ T = Tfinal – Tinitial
Δ T = 5 ºC – 0 ºC
= 5 ºC
Example 2- SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
Find the specific heat of a material if a 5 gram sample
absorbs 50 J when it is heated from 30˚C to 50ºC.
Remember to circle the unit that they are asking for and underline the given
data.
Example 2- SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
Find the specific heat of a material if a 5 gram sample
absorbs 50 J when it is heated from 30˚C to 50ºC.
Next, decide on the formula to use which depends on what it was asked.
Q = m c ∆T c = Q
m ∆T or
This stands for
specific heat.
Example 2- SPECIFIC HEAT problems:
Find the specific heat of a material if a 5 gram sample
absorbs 50 J when it is heated from 30˚C to 50ºC.
On the calculator, it should look like 50/(5 · 20) =
c = Q
m ∆T
C = 50 j
5 g • 20 ºC
Δ T = 50 ºC – 30 ºC
= 20 ºC
C = 0.50 j/g·ºC
