  • What is thermochemistry?
    Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of heat energy changes in chemical reactions.
  • What is chemical energy?
    Chemical energy is a form of potential energy that is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
  • What is the enthalpy of fusion?

    It is related to phases, which are the energy required to convert solid to liquid.
    ΔHfus is what it is referred to as.
  • What is heat capacity?
    The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree.
  • The value of ΔHrxn of a particular reaction depends on the difference in enthalpy between its products and reactants
  • What is thermochemical equation?
    A representation of a chemical reaction that includes the enthalpy change.
  • How can the value of qcalorimeter be measured?
    By measuring the temperature change and heat capacity in the calorimeter.
  • what is the formula of qcalorimeter?

    qcalorimeter = m × c × ΔT
    In reactions involving dilute aqueous solutions, you use the specific heat of liquid water.
  • What is the formula of ΔHrxn?
    The formula for ΔHrxn is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the products minus the sum of the enthalpy changes of the reactants.
