THERMOCHEMISTRY
WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THIS TOPIC:
1) Know the meaning of heat and work, and their relationship to energy (the First Law of
Thermodynamics).
2) Relate temperature changes and changes of state to the corresponding amounts of heat,
using specific heats, heats of fusion, and heats of vaporization.
3) Use standard calorimetric data (temperatures, masses, and specific heats) to calculate the
amount of heat released or absorbed for a chemical reaction.
4) Use the heat and work for a chemical reaction to calculate the E and H for that
reaction. (Note that the heat is often found using standard calorimetric data.)
5) Relate the E and H for experimental amounts of reactants/products to the E and H
for a balanced chemical equation (i.e. energy stoichiometry.)
6) Interconvert E and H for a reaction, and calculate the pressure-volume work that
occurs under constant-pressure conditions.
7) Calculate the heat produced by a reaction under constant-pressure or constant-volume
conditions, given the masses of reactants and either E or H for the reaction.
8) Understand the meaning of enthalpy of formation (Hf) and use enthalpies of formation
to calculate H for a reaction.
9) Use Hesss Law to calculate H for a reaction, given appropriate H values for other
reactions.

CHEM 101A
7) Gaseous XeF6 reacts with gaseous water to form solid XeO3 and gaseous HF. The balanced
equation is: XeF6(g) + 3 H2O(g) XeO3(s) + 6 HF(g)
a) Calculate H for the reaction of 10.0 grams of gaseous XeF6 with excess gaseous water,
using enthalpies of formation ( H of ) from the textbook.
b) How much heat is given off if 25.0 grams of XeF6 and 15.0 grams of H2O are mixed and
allowed to react under constant-pressure conditions?
8) Using your answer to problem 4 and the enthalpies of formation from the textbook, calculate the
enthalpy of formation of liquid C2H4O (acetaldehyde).
