Topic 5.1: Energetics – Measuring energy changes
The enthalpy changes from chemical reactions can be calculated from their effect on the temperature of their surroundings.

• Understanding: Heat is a form of energy.

▪ Heat (thermal energy): form of energy that is transferred from a warmer body to a cooler body through that can do work
• Process of heat transfer: conduction, radiation and convention
• When heat is transferred to an object, there is an increase in the average kinetic energy of particles

• Understanding: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

▪ Temperature: measure of the average kinetic energy of the particle
• Temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy of particles
• Absolute zero: temperature in which all particle motion theoretically stops

• Understanding: Total energy is conserved in chemical reactions.

▪ Law of conservation of energy: states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; can only be converted
• Energy, therefore, is conserved in chemical reactions and merely transferred

• Understanding: Chemical reactions that involve transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings are described as
endothermic or exothermic.

▪ Surroundings: rest of the universe distinct from the system (apparatus, external devices etc. not directly involved in reaction)
▪ System: content in which the chemical reaction takes place (all reactants, products, and any solvents)
• Open system: transfer of matter and energy is possible across its boundary
• Closed system: transfer of energy is possible but not the transfer of matter

Enthalpy change (∆H) Positive Negative
Surrounding temperature Decreases Increases
Example Liquid to gas state change Combustion, acid-base neutralization

• Understanding: The enthalpy change (∆H) for chemical reactions is indicated in kJ mol -1.

▪ Enthalpy change (∆H): heat transferred between system and surrounding in a closed system during a chemical reaction
• Enthalpy change is indicated in kJ mol-1
• ∆H° reaction = Σ(∆Hf° products) − Σ(∆Hf° reactants)

▪ Standard enthalpy change of formation (∆Hf°): energy associated with the formation of 1 mol of a substance from constituting
elements in their standard state
• Must be 1 mol of substance; even if it gives a fraction of diatomic molecules in the reaction side

• Understanding: ∆H values are usually expressed under standard conditions, given by ∆H°, including standard states.

▪ Standard conditions: temperature of 25°C/298K, pressure of 1000 kPa, with species in their standard state
• Standard condition is denoted by a ° symbol; ∆H° denotes enthalpy change in standard condition

▪ Standard state: normal, stable state of a substance measured at 100 kPa

• Applications and skills: Calculation of the heat change when the temperature of a pure substance is changed using 𝑞 = 𝑚c∆𝑇.

▪ Specific heat capacity (c): amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1 K
• Intensive property: specific heat capacity does not vary with the size of the system and is always the same
• Specific heat capacity of water: used in enthalpy change in aqueous systems (4.18 kJ Kg-1 K-1)

▪ Process of finding enthalpy change (∆H) with temperature change
• Volume of system is identified (in aqueous, the volume of water)
• Specific heat capacity is identified (in aqueous, heat capacity of water)
• Temperature change is identified
• Enthalpy change is determined through formula of 𝑞 = 𝑚c∆𝑇
