  • Define enthalpy
    Total Heat content of a system
  • what do we need to take it to account when measuring the enthalpy change of a reaction?
    The mass
    specific heat capacity
  • define specific heat capacity
    the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1 kelvin
  • what is the equation for heat energy
    q = m x c x ΔT
    q= heat transferred (J)
    m= mass of water g
    c= specific heat capacity
    ΔT = the temperature change
