Enthalpy Changes and Calorimetry
Measuring heat changes in chemical reactions and using Hess's Law to calculate enthalpy indirectly.
Key Questions
- 1How can we measure the energy content of a fuel using simple calorimetry?
- 2Why is Hess's Law considered a specific application of the Law of Conservation of Energy?
- 3How do we account for heat loss in experimental enthalpy determinations?
