Heat (q) Flows From Hot to Cold
Depends on the Temperature, # and Type
of Atoms Present
The Hotter an Object Is, the More Kinetic
Energy It’s Constituent Atoms Posses
5.2 Heat Capacity (C)
q = CDT
-The heat required to induce a
temperature change in a substance
Is Heat an Intensive or
Extensive Property?
C = q/DT -The capacity of a substance to
absorb heat as its temperature
changes
*Note: Heat capacity describes an object and has
units in terms of energy per degree temperature

Specific Heat Capacity
Specific Heat Capacity
c=q
mDT
-the heat capacity per gram of substance
q = mcDT
q = Heat or Energy (cal or joule)
m = Mass (in grams)
c = Specific heat, the heat required to raise one
gram of a substance by one degree Celsius
DT = Change in Temperature (Tfinal - Tinitial)
Is Specific Heat Capacity an
Intensive or Extensive
Property?
•Specific heat capacity describes a type of
substance and not a specific object.
•Has Units of J/goC or cal/ goC
• To know how much heat capacity an object has
you need to know how much of it you have (it’s
mass times it’s specific heat capacity).
What Is the Specific
Heat of Water?
c(H2O) = 1cal/(goC)

10 g piece of aluminum has a heat
capacity of 9.02 J/K.
How much Energy is Required to raise 1.000
gallon of water from 0.000 deg C to 100.0 deg
C?
dwater = 1 g/ml, 1 gal = 3.7854 L
c: Specific Heat Capacity describes a
material, aluminum has a specific heat
capacity of 0.902 J/(g-K).
Heat Problem
What would be the final temperature if a 250 g piece
of aluminum at 20.oC absorbed 1.5 kJ of energy?
First Law of Thermodynamics
-Total amount of energy of the universe
is constant
DE = q + w
The change in the internal energy of a system
is equal to the heat transfer and work done
on/by the system with the surroundings.

DE = Ef - Ei = Q + W
DE > 0, the system gains energy
DE < 0, the system loses energy
Endothermic Reaction - heat is added
to the system (q is positive and the
surroundings lose the heat)
Exothermic Reaction - heat is lost from
the system (q is negative and
surroundings gain the heat)

Work
-Work occurs when something
moves against an opposing force
Enthalpy
DH = Enthalpy change, the heat transfer in/out
of a system at constant P
- Lets investigate the work of expansion at
constant pressure
W = FDX
F = Force, X = distance
W=
P = F/A, F = P.A
V = X.A, X = V/A
(P.A)(DV/A)
W = -PDV
DH = qp
DE = q + w
w = -PDV
DE = q -PDV
DH = qP = DE + PDV
Why is this negative?
State Functions
Enthalpy & Internal Energy are State
Functions - their values are “path
independent” and only depend on their
current states, not how they were attained
Is Work a State Function?
5.5 DH and Chemical Reactions
Reactants + Heat --> Products
-endothermic, heat was added to
the reaction
Sign Conventions of Energy
Transfer
Endothermic Reactions - absorb heat
from the surroundings (DH > 0)
Exothermic Reactions - release heat
to the surroundings (DH < 0)
DHrxn is associated with a
chemical equation
C(s) + 2H2(g) --> CH4(g) DH = -74.8kJ
What do the units of the DH in the
above reaction mean?
Reactants --> Products + Heat
-exothermic, heat was released by
the reaction
74.8 kJ are released for every mole of
carbon or for every 2 moles of
hydrogen consumed

Is the Following Reaction
Endothermic or Exothermic?
CaO(s) + CO2(g) --> CaCO3(s) DH = -178 kJ
DHForward = - DHreverse

What is DH For the reaction:
CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Would this reaction heat the
surroundings?
5.6 Calorimetry
What happens when a hot object comes
into thermal contact with a cold object?
Calorimetry
What is the final temperature if 2g of gold at
100oC is dropped into 25 ml of water at 30oC in
an ideal calorimeter? cAu = 0.128J/g.oC.
Heat lost by Au = Heat gained by water
Insulated Jacket
-Qhot = Qcold
(First Law)
Calorimetry
5.7 Hess’s Law
Conservation of Energy
What is the final temperature if 2g of gold at
100oC is dropped into 25 ml of water at 30oC in
a real calorimeter? cAu = 0.128J/g.oC, Ccal =
36J/oC
Heat lost by Au = Heat gained by water + calorimeter
-Qhot = Qcold
If the products of one reaction are
consumed by another, the two equations
can be coupled into a third equation.
The energy of the third reaction will be
the sum of the energies of the first 2
reactions

Why are Enthalpies Additive?
-Enthalpy is a state function
-Its value is only dependent on the state
of the system, not the path
-It’s a consequence of the conservation
of energy
S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g)
DH=-296.8kJ
2SO2(g) + O2(g) --> 2SO3(g) DH= -197.0kJ

Note, to cancel SO2, multiply first eq by 2
