Thermochemistry
Study of energies given off by or absorbed by
reactions.
Thermodynamics
Study of energy transfer (flow)
Energy (E)
Ability to do work or to transfer heat.
Kinetic Energy (KE)
Energy of motion

1 = lower T
2 = higher T
At higher T, distribution shifts to higher KE

Kinetic Energy Distribution
Temperature
Average KE of all atoms and molecules in object
Average speed of particles
Kelvin Temperature of sample
T(K) Avg MKE = ½ mvavg2
At higher temperature
Most molecules moving at higher average speed
Cold object = Small average MKE
Hot object = Large average MKE
Note: At 0 K KE = 0 so v=0

Kinetic Theory: Liquids and Solids
Atoms and molecules in liquids and solids also
constantly moving
Particles of solids jiggle and vibrate in place
Distributions of KEs of particles in gas, liquid
and solid same at same T.
At same T gas, liquid, and solid have
Same average KE
But very different PE
Extensive property
Depends on two factors
1. Sample size or amount (mass)
Doubling amount doubles heat capacity
2. Identity of substance
Water vs. iron

Learning Check: Heat Capacity
A cup of water is used in an experiment. Its heat
capacity is known to be 720 J/ °C. How much
heat will it absorb if the experimental
temperature changed from 19.2 °C to 23.5 °C?
