Calorimetry
Calorimetry is the measurement of
heat flow.
So, q = - 452kJ
Heating a Substance with
No Phase Change
Also known as a sensible heat process.
Depends on Specific Heat Capacity
Specific Heat Capacity--The amount of
energy required to raise one gram of a
substance one degree Celcius.
Every substance and every phase of that
substance has its own unique specific
heat capacity.
Water’s Specific Heat (as a liquid)
= 4.184 Joules/gram oC
or unit cans be J/gK
Specific heat (J/goC) = heat capacity
(J/oC)
You will see both terms used.
You can also use Molar Heat Capacity
This is the heat energy required to raise 1
mole of a substance 1oC or 1K.
Molar heat capacity can be determined
from the specific heat by multiplying it by
the molar mass of the substance.
Energy to Change Temperature
Change in Temperature
Heat Tfinal – Tinitial
Measured in Joules In OCelcius or kelvin
q = (mass) ( C ) ( T )
Solid
Freezing Sublimation
Deposition
Melting
Vaporization
Liquid Gas
Condensation
Example #3
How much energy is needed to heat
80grams of water from 10oC to 55oC at
constant pressure?
q=mC T = m C (Tfinal – Tinitial )
q = + 15062 joules
divide by 1000 to get kilojoules
15062 J 1 kJ = 15.06 kJ absorbed
1000J
Example #4 -How much energy is needed to
change 150grams of ice from 0oC to 50oC?
Step 2 - Calculate heat required to heat liquid water from 0oC to 50oC
q = mC T = (150g)(4.184 J/goC)(50oC)
= 31380 J convert to kJ = 31.38kJ
*Add both heat values together for your final answer
50 kJ + 31.38kJ = 81.38 kJ heat absorbed.

Calorimetry
Experimental way of measuring heat
generation/consumption by essentially catching
all the heat energy in a water bath or water bath
+ metal apparatus.
Coffee Cup Calorimetry
Styrofoam cup insulates the contents so any
heat generated or consumed in the water can be
measured by the temperature change
q = -(Hrxn) = mCH2O∆T
Reactions must take place in water, then you
measure the change in temperature.
Bomb-Calorimeter
Used to measure heats of reaction.
Usually do combustion reactions in it.
Metal innards absorb heat. You have to
keep track of heat absorbed by metal and
water.
q = mCH2O∆T + Cp ∆T
qwater + qapparatus
∆H = q = mC∆T
Since density is 1g/mL , all volumes are gram
values.
Total volume must be used = 200mLs =
200grams.
∆T = Tfinal – Tinitial = 29.8oC – 25oC = 4.8oC
q = mC ∆T = (200g)(4.18J/gK)(4.8K)
q = 4013 J = 4.013 kJ
∆H = - 4.013 kilojoules
Since temperature of water increased, it is
exothermic, which means a - ∆H
