Thermodynamics vs. Kinetics
Some Big Ideas Low energy low in potential energy more stable. If a system absorbs energy, the natural tendency is to release it. That is, achieving low potential energy is “natural”. Ground state preferred over excited state. Energy is converted from one form to another but is NOT created nor destroyed. First law of thermodynamics. Energy is a state function (heat and work are not).
Determining Hrxn Since H = qp, determine the heat transferred at constant pressure. This is termed calorimetry. Since energy is conserved, we can often determine Hrxn for one reaction given values of Hrxn for others. Uses the principle in Hess’s Law. Use standard enthalpies of formations for reactants and products (we have tables of these).
