THERMOCHEMISTRY
Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the heat energy
involved in chemical reactions and changes in physical states of matter. It explores how heat energy is
absorbed or released during chemical reactions, and how this energy affects the properties of substances
involved.
Thermochemistry involves concepts such as heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free
energy, which help quantify and understand the energy changes that occur in chemical systems. These
concepts are crucial for understanding and predicting the behavior of chemical reactions, from simple
combustion reactions to complex industrial processes. Thermochemistry also plays a significant role in
various fields such as materials science, environmental science, and biochemistry.
Here are some key formulas used in thermochemistry:
1. Total Heat Released (𝒒𝑻 )

𝑞𝑇 = 𝑞 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 × 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Where:
• 𝑞 is the heat transferred,
2. Heat Capacity (q)
𝑞 = 𝑚𝑐∆𝑇
Where:
• 𝑞 is the heat transferred,
• 𝑚 is the mass of the substance,
• 𝑐 is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and
• ∆𝑇 is the change in temperature.
3. Enthalpy Change (∆𝑯)
∆𝐻 = 𝑞
Where:
• ∆𝐻 is the enthalpy change of the system.
4. Enthalpy Change for Reaction:
∆𝐻𝑟𝑥𝑛 = ∑ ∆𝐻𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑠 − ∑ ∆𝐻𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠
Where:
• ∆𝐻𝑟𝑥𝑛 is the enthalpy change for the reaction,

• ∆𝐻𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑠 is the sum of enthalpies of formation of the products, and
• ∆𝐻𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 is the sum of enthalpies of the reactants.

5. Enthalpy of Formation (∆𝐻𝑓° )
∆𝐻𝑓° = ∑ ∆𝐻𝑓,𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑠 − ∑ ∆𝐻𝑓,𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠
Where:
• ∆𝐻𝑓° is the enthalpy change for the reaction,

• ∆𝐻𝑓,𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑠 is the sum of enthalpies of formation of the products, and
• ∆𝐻𝑓,𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 is the sum of enthalpies of the reactants.
6. Entropy Change (∆𝑆)
𝑞𝑟𝑒𝑣
∆𝑆 =
𝑇
Where:
• ∆𝑆 is the entropy change,

• 𝑞𝑟𝑒𝑣 is the heat transferred reversibly, and
• 𝑇 is the temperature in Kelvin.
These formulas provide a framework for understanding and calculating energy changes in
chemical reactions and processes.

1. Calculate the Enthalpy Change:

Given the following reaction:
2𝐻2 (𝑔) + 𝑂2 (𝑔) → 2𝐻2 𝑂(𝑙)
If the enthalpy change for the reaction is -483.6 kJ/mol, how much heat is released when 5.00
moles of H2 react completely with excess O2?
2. Enthalpy of Formation Calculation:

Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation, ∆𝐻𝑓° , for C2H5OH (l) given the following data:
𝐶(𝑠) + 𝑂2 (𝑔) → 𝐶𝑂2 (𝑔) ∆𝐻 ° = −393.5 𝑘𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙
2𝐻2 (𝑔) + 𝑂2 (𝑔) → 2𝐻2 𝑂(𝑙) ∆𝐻 ° = −483.6 𝑘𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙
2𝐶2 𝐻5 𝑂𝐻(𝑙) + 5𝑂2 (𝑔) → 4𝐶𝑂2 (𝑔) + 6𝐻2 𝑂(𝑙) ∆𝐻 ° = −1368.8 𝑘𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙
3. Entropy Change Calculation:

The molar entropy of liquid water at 25°C and 1 atm pressure is 69.91 𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙 ∙ 𝐾, and the
molar entropy of gaseous water vapor at the same conditions is 188.8 𝐽/𝑚𝑜𝑙 ∙ 𝐾. Calculate
the entropy change when 1 mole of liquid water at 25°C vaporizes into steam at the same
temperature and pressure.
