25 views2 pages

Document Summary

The quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of the sample of substance by one degree celsius (or one kelvin). The heat capacity for one mole of substance is considered its molar heat capacity. Quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree. Celsius (or one kelvin) at constant pressure. s = specific heat of the substance m = mass in grams. T = temperature change q s m t. A calorimeter is a device used to measure the heat absorbed or evolved during a physical or chemical change. For a chemical equation that can be written as the sum of two or more steps, the enthalpy change for the overall equation equals the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps. When reactants in their standard states yield products in their standard states, the enthalpy of reaction is called the standard enthalpy of reaction, dh .
