Document Summary

Nearly all chemical reactions involve either the release or the absorption of heat, a form of energy. Thermodynamics = the science of the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. Thermochemistry = one area of thermodynamics that concerns the study of the quality of heat absorbed or evolved (given off) by chemical reactions. Knowing such values, you are able to calculate the amount of energy needed to break a particular kind of chemical bond and so learn something about the strength of that bond. Heat measurements also provide data needed to determine whether a particular chemical reaction occurs and if so, to what extent. Energy = the potential or capacity to move matter. Energy is a property of matter not a material thing. Exists in different forms that can be interconverted. Energy can exist in different forms, including heat, light and electrical energy and these different forms can be interconverted.
