THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
 During physical and chemical
processes, energy may change
form, but it may never be
created nor destroyed.
 If a chemical system gains
energy, the surroundings lose
energy
 If a chemical system loses
energy, the surroundings gain
energy
Examples:
 When octane (C3H8, the main
component of gasoline) is burned
in your car engine, chemical bond
energy (potential energy) is
converted into mechanical energy
(pistons moving in the car engine;
kinetic energy) and heat.
 When we turn on a light switch,
electrical energy is converted into
light energy and, you guessed it,
heat energy.
DO YOU REMEMBER??
EXOTHERMIC
ENDOTHERMIC
 A change in a chemical
 A change in chemical energy
energy where energy/heat
EXITS the chemical system
 Results in a decrease in
chemical potential energy
where energy/heat ENTERS
the chemical system
 Results in an increase in
chemical potential energy

SYSTEMS
Types of Systems
 System: the part of the universe
we are interested in studying
 Surroundings: the rest of the
universe
 Open: exchange matter &
energy
 Closed: doesn’t exchange
matter, but does energy
 Isolated: doesn’t exchange
matter or energy
open
closed
isolated
An Introduction to Thermodynamics
 Kinetic Energy (Ek) is related to the motion of an entity
 Molecular motion can by translational (straight-line),
rotational and vibrational
 Chemical Potential Energy (Ep) is energy stored in the
bonds of a substance and relative intermolecular forces
 Thermal Energy is the total kinetic energy of all of the
particles of a system. Increases with temperature.
 Symbol (Q), Units (J), Formula used (Q=mcΔT)
 Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy
of the particles in a system
 Heat is a transfer of thermal energy. Heat is not possessed by
a system. Heat is energy flowing between systems.
An Introduction to Thermodynamics
 Which has more thermal energy, a hot cup of coffee
or an iceberg?
 An iceberg!
Put very roughly, thermal energy is related to the amount of
something you have multiplied by the temperature.
Let's assume your iceberg is at the freezing point of water - 0
degrees Celsius (~273 Kelvin). Now your cup of coffee might
be 75 degrees Celsius (~350 Kelvin).
350 isn't a whole lot more than 270, but an iceberg is
thousands of times larger than a cup of coffee. Even though
the iceberg is at a lower temperature, it contains more
thermal energy because the particles are moving and it's
much larger than the cup of coffee.
An Introduction to Thermodynamics
 Heat energy transferred will be related to
the temperature change of the system.
 It takes different amounts of heat energy
to raise the temperature of 1 g of different
substances by 1 oC.
 This number is called the specific heat
capacity (c), and is measured in units of
J
g C
Thermal Energy Calculations
There are three factors that affect thermal energy
Q = mcΔt
 Mass (m) – unit is g or kg
 Type of substance (c) – unit is J/goC or kJ/kgoC
 Temperature change (Δt)
Water’s Specific Heat Capacity
Water has a c value of
4.19 J g C
(can also use 4.19kJ/kgoC)
This means that it takes 4.19 J of heat to raise the
temperature of 1 g of water by 1oC
Water has a very large c compared to most other common
substances.
Consider a bathtub and a teacup of water! They both contain water with the same
heat capacity, but it would take much longer to heat up the water in the bathtub!
Thermal Energy Calculations
After coming in from outside, a student makes a cup of
instant hot chocolate by heating water in a microwave.
What is the gain in thermal energy if a cup (250 mL) of tap
water is increased in temperature from 15oC to 95oC?
(1mL of water = 1g)
Thermal Energy Calculations
A backpacker uses an uncovered pot to heat lake water on a
single-burner stove. If the water temperature rises from
5.0oC to 97oC, and the water gains 385 kJ of thermal energy,
what is the mass of water heated?
Thermal Energy Calculations #2
 A 750 g sample of ethanol absorbs 23.4 kJ of
energy. Its initial temperature was 35oC. The
specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.44 J/goC .
What is the final temperature of the ethanol
sample?
Thermal Energy Calculations
Experiments have shown that a thermal energy change is
affected by mass, specific heat capacity, and change in
temperature. What happens to the thermal energy if
a) The mass is doubled?
b) The specific heat capacity is divided by two?
c) The change in temperature is tripled?
d) All three variables are doubled?
Thermal Energy Calculations
If the same quantity of energy were added to individual
100g samples of water, aluminum, and iron, which
substance would undergo the greatest temperature
change? Explain. (see page 3 of data booklet)
How do we measure Q?
With a simple laboratory calorimeter, which
consists of an insulated container made of three
nested polystyrene cups, a measured quantity of
water, and a thermometer.
The chemical is placed in or dissolved in the
water of the calorimeter.
Energy transfers between the chemical system
and the surrounding water is monitored by
measuring changes in the water temperature.
“Calorimetry is the technological process of
measuring energy changes of an isolated system
called a calorimeter”
Includes: Thermometer, stirring rod,
stopper or inverted cup, two
Styrofoam cups nested together
containing reactants in solution

Other Calorimetry assumptions. . .
• All the energy lost or gained by the chemical system is gained or lost
(respectively) by the calorimeter; that is, the total system is isolated.
• All the material of the system is conserved; that is, the total system is
isolated.
• The specific heat capacity of water over the temperature range is
4.19 J/(g•°C). (** IN YOUR DATA BOOK)
• The specific heat capacity of dilute aqueous solutions is
4.19 J/(g•°C).
• The thermal energy gained or lost by the rest of the calorimeter (other
than water) is negligible; that is, the container, lid, thermometer, and
stirrer do not gain or lose thermal energy.
Calorimetry Questions
•Remember to keep the system and the surroundings separate in
your calculations.
Because we assume the system is isolated, then we assume that:
1. the energy lost by the system = energy gained by the
surroundings (water)
OR
2. the energy gained by the system = the energy lost by the
surroundings.
