6.1 Energy
Energy – the capacity to do work or produce heat. Law of Conservation of Energy (1st law of
thermodynamics)– Energy is neither created nor destroyed. (Energy of universe is constant)
Potential Energy – energy stored due to position
or composition.
Kinetic Energy – energy due to motion of an
object = ½ mv2
Energy is a state function (or property) – a

System – a defined environment Surroundings – everything else
The text is written from the system’s perspective
6.1 Components of Energy
Heat (q) – transfer of energy due to a temperature
difference.
q is positive, Esys increases q is negative, Esys decreases
Work (w) – force acting over a distance.
w is positive, Esys increases w is negative, Esys decreases
Unlike energy, heat and work are not state
functions.

Enthalpy (H) is the heat involved in a chemical
reaction at constant pressure. It is defined as:
H = E +

E = system energy
P = system

V = system volume
Since E, P and V are all state functions, so is H.
H represents only heat exchanged; E

Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat.
Specific heat capacity (Cp; s in Zumdahl) – the heat
required to raise 1 g of a substance by 1 ºC (or 1 K).
Molar heat capacity – the energy required to raise 1

down.)

absorb large amounts of energy with very little change in temperature.

Constant-pressure
calorimeters are run at
atmospheric pressure and are used to determine H for
reactions in solution.
Any observed temperature
increase is due to release of energy, calculated by:
s = specific heat capacity
m = mass of solution
T = increase in temperature
Specific heat capacity problem
12.00 g of a metal at 100.0 ºC is poured into a styrofoam cup calorimeter
containing 75.0 g of water at 20.0 ºC. The final temperature of the metal + water is 22.1 ºC. What is the specific
heat capacity of the metal? For H2O(l) , s
= 4.18 J/g ·ºC
H = s · m · T
H (water) = 4.18 J 75.0 g 2.1ºC = 660 J

s (metal) = H = 660 J = 0.71 J/g ºC

6.2 Constant Volume Calorimetry
Constant-volume calorimeters
are called bomb calorimeters. The reaction occurs in an
internal steel chamber.
Since the volume of the
chamber is constant, no work is done. All the energy,
therefore, is released as heat.
