heat always flows from a
warmer objecct to a cooler object
what happens if two objects remain in contact
heat will flow from the warmer object to the cooler object until the temperature of both objects is the same
all chemical reactions and changes in physical state involve
either the release or the absorption of heat
in studying heat changes, it is useful to define a _______ as the part of the universe on which you focus your attention
system
includes everything else in the universe
the surroundings
what is a good approximation to consider in thermochemical experiments
the region in the immediate vicinity of the system as the surroundings
together, the system and its surroundings constitute the
universe
what is a major goal of studying thermochemistry
to examine the flow of heat from the system to its surroundings, or the flow o heat from the surroundings to the system
states that in any chemical or physical process, energy is neither created nor destroyed
law of conservation of energy
all of the energy involved in a process can be accounted for as
work, stored energy, or heat
in thermochemical calculations the direction of the heat flow is given from
the point of view of the system
heat flowing into a system from its surroundings is defined as
positive
a process that absorbs heat from the surroundings is called an
endothermic process
what happens in an endothermic process
the system gains heat as the surroundings cool down
heat flowing out of te system into its surroundings is
negative
a process that releases heat to its surroundings is called an
exothermic process
what occurs in an exothermic process
the system loses heat as the surroundings heat up
exothermic (chart)
heat flows out of the system

heat change < 0 (negative)
endothermic
heat flows into the system

heat change > 0 (positive)
what does it mean to "burn calories"
during exercise, your body generates heat, and this heat is measured in units called calories
how is the heat generated in your body
as your body breaks down sugars and fats into carbon dioxide and water
what accomplishes the same result as if there were an actual fire burning the sugars and fats within your body
chemical reactions
In breaking down 10 grams of sugar, your body generates a certain amount of heat.

When would the same amount of heat be produced?
if 10 grams of sugar were completely burned in a fire, producing carbon dioxide and water.
what is defined as the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of pure water 1 *C
a calorie
what refers to the energy in food
dietary Calorie
when are calories not used
when referring to energy contained in food
1 dietary Calorie =
1 kilocalorie
1 kilocalorie =
1000 calories
what does the statement "10 grams of sugar has 41 Calories" mean
that 10 grams of sugar releases 41 kilocalories of heat when completely burned to produce carbon dioxide and water
what is a calorie related to
a joule
what is the SI unit of heat and energy
joule
who is the joule named after
English physicist James Prescott Joule
a joule is slightly less than _____ of a calorie
1/4
1 joule of heat raises the temperature of 1 gram of pure water
0.2390 *C
1 J =
0.2390 cal
4.184 J =
1 cal
the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1 *C is the ___________ of that object
heat capacity
what does the heat capacity of an object depend on
its mass as well as its chemical composition
the greater the mass of an object
the greater its heat capacity
different substances with the same mass may have
different heat capacities
_________________ or _________ of a substance is the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance 1 *C
specific heat capacity
specific heat
what has a very high specific heat compared to other substances in the table
water
what has low specific heats
metals
Heat affects the temperature of objects with a high specific heat much less than
the temperature of those with a low specific heat
just as it takes a lot of heat to raise the temperature of water,
water also releases a lot of heat as it cools
how do you calculate the specific heat of a substance
you divide the heat input by the temperature change times the mass of the substance
q
heat
m
mass
C
specific heat
delta T
change in temperature
how is delta T calculated
delta T = Tf - Ti
Tf
final temperature
Ti
initial temperature
C =
q / m x delta T

heat(joules or calories) / mass(g) x change in temp (*C)
specific heat may be expressed in terms of
joules or calories

most physical and chemical changes you will encounter occur at
constant pressure
a variable that takes constant pressure into account
enthalpy
how can you measure the energy changes that accompany chemical and physical processes?
by defining a thermodynamic variable
heat that is released or absorbed during many chemical reactions can be measured by
calorimetry
the accurate and precise measurement of heat change for chemical and physical processes
calorimetry
in calorimetry, the heat released by the system is equal to

dissolve the reacting chemicals (the system) in known volumes of water (the surroundings)

then measure the initial temperature of each solution and mix the solutions in the foam cup
