Calorimeter
Calorimeter
- device used to measure the heat released (or absorbed) by a
physical or chemical process
- there are two types of calorimeter :
+ bomb calorimeter (constant pressure)
+ coffee-cup calorimeter (constant volume)
- to measure heat released in non-combustion reaction such as heat of neutralization and heat of solution.
How a coffee-cup calorimeter works?
1.The calorimeter consist of a known mass of water (or solution) in an insulated container equipped with a thermometer and stirrer.
2. Initial temperature of the water is measured.
3. The process take place (addition of acid and base of soluble salt)
4. The contents are stirred.
5. Final temperature of water is measured.

Bomb Calorimeter
- to measure heat released in combustion reaction
How a bomb calorimeter works?
1. With continual stirring, the initial temperature of preweighed water bath is noted.
2. The sample is ignited electrically
3. Heat released from the combustion react is transferred to the rest of the calorimeter.
4.The maximum temperature is measured.
Coffee-cup Calorimeter
- to measure heat released in non-combustion reaction such as heat of neutralization and heat of solution.

Calculation of ΔHrxn
qsys = qwater + qcal + qrxn
no heat enters or leave the system
qsys = 0
qrxn = -(qcal + qwater)
qwater = mcΔT
qcal = CcalΔT
Capacity
Specific Heat Capacity, (c)
Amount of heat (q) required to raise temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1k (1°C).
Eg : H2O(l) = 4.18 J/g·°C meaning it takes 4.18 Joules of
energy to heat 1.0 grams of water 1.0 °C.
Heat Capacity, (C)
Amount of heat (q) required to raise temperature of a given quantity of substance by 1k (1°C).
Every object has its own capacity.

Endothermic and Exothermic Reaction
Endothermic and Exothermic are two terms used to describe what happens to the energy of a system undergoing a change.
Endothermic processes require energy to take place. The system has to absorb energy from its surroundings. Eg : ice melting
Exothermic processes give off energy. The system releases energy to the surroundings. Eg : water freezing

Types of Enthalphy
- Enthalpy of Formation, ΔHf
Heat change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from
its elements at standard condition.
H2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) → H2O (l) H= −286 kJmol−1its elements at standard condition.
- Enthalpy of Combustion, ΔHcomb
Heat released when 1 mole of substance is
burn completely in excess oxygen at standard conditions.
C (s) + O (g) → CO (g) H= −393 kJmol−1
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (aq) H = kJmol−1
Na (s) → Na (g) H= 109 kJ mol−1
I (s) → I (g) H= +106 kJ mol−1
Na+ (g) → Na + (aq) H= − 406 kJ mol−1

Introduction
Nowadays, people are living in the world full of technology and chemistry. Chemistry is always around us and chemical reaction is happened every second without we realise. We have been assign to do an assignment on one of the topic in matriculation syllabus for chemistry that is chapter one, thermochemistry. So, we choose blog as a medium for us to share the information about thermochemistry in interesting way.
We have five members in our group which is..
1. Mohammad Fahrulazri bin Jaini
2. Muhammad Izzuwan bin Ismail
3. Alia Athira binti Ibrahim
4. Ayshah binti Abdul Rahman
5. Nor Shazwana binti Badrul Zaman
