Concept Builders - Thermal Chemistry

Let's turn up the heat on learning with these Concept Builders as you learn about Entropy, Heat, explosive thermochemical equations, and more.

Activities

Measuring the Quantity of Heat

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use the equation Q = m•C•∆T to relate the heat released to the surroundings to the mass and temperature change of the surroundings and to the enthalpy change of the system.

Which One Doesn't Belong? - Energy and Chemical Reactions

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To interpret various representations of a thermochemical reaction and to identify which one is not consistent with the others.

Enthalpy Change

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use calorimetry data and the amount of reactant to determine the enthalpy change for a stated reaction and to include the energy term on the proper side of a thermochemical equation.

Thermal Stoichiometry

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use a thermochemical equation to relate the mass and the moles of reactant to the amount of energy released in a combustion reaction.

Hess's Law

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To apply Hess’s Law in order to determine the ∆H of a reaction if given the ∆H of two or more related reactions.

Heat of Formation

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To identify the meaning of heat of formation and to use heats of formation values for reactants and products to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction.
