CHEM1011 - Resources for Week 8
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Thermochemistry
explain the difference between heat and temperature
appreciate that heat is mostly associated with changes kinetic energy and chemical reactions are mostly associated with changes in potential energy
First Law of Thermodynamics
explain the difference between heat and temperature
identify a process as endothermic or exothermic from the temperature change
relate temperature and heat change using specific and molar heat capacities
calculate internal energy changes using the bomb calorimeter
define the difference between internal energy and enthalpy
obtain the enthalpy change using a coffee-cup calorimeter
use Hess's Law
estimate reaction enthalpies from bond energies
define standard states
combine enthalpies of formation to work out the enthalpy change for chemical reactions
combine enthalpies of reactions to work out the enthalpies of formation
explain the advantages and disadvantages of solid, petroleum, hypergolic and cryogenic (hydrogen) fuels
work out the efficiency of fuels
