Thermochemistry

Energy

• The capacity for doing work or supplying heat.
• Weightless, odorless, and tasteless.

Heat

• A form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another due to the tempreature difference between them

Endothermic reaction

• Heat is absorbed
• Heat is on the reactant side
• feels "cold"
• Product is higher than the reactants
• It's positive

Exothermic reaction

• Heat is released
• Heat is a product
• Feels warm
• The product is lower than the reactants.
• It's negative

Calorimetry

• Calorie: The energy needed to raise 1g of water 1 degree.
• Joule: A unit of energy.
• Heat Capacity: The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of an object 1 degree.
• Specific Heat Capacity: The heat needed to raise 1g of a substance 1 degree.
