1. Balance chemical equation
required to raise 1.0 g
2. Draw Lewis structure to see bonds of each
of l h20 by 1 *Celsius
atom/molecule
C (specific heat) Amount of E required
• 0*C = melting 3. Write down bond enthalpies values for bond
to raise the temperature
• 100*C = boiling 4. Multiply bond enthalpies values by
of 1.0 g of it by 1 *C or

5. Add values of bonds broken and formed

Calorimeter: measure the amount of heat q = mcΔT


produced by a chemical rxn via a bomb q = mΔH (fusion)
calorimeter (which measures the ΔH, by q = mΔH (vaporization)
measuring q [heat]).
Hess Law: when multiple rxn are added together,
the new overall reaction ΔH = ΔHa + ΔHb + ΔH…

Rules of Hess Law using ΔH:


1. Reversing the rxn, changes the sign of ΔH
2. Coefficients are multiplied to the rxn’ ΔH
3. Sum of the rxns

Rules of Hess Law using K (Equilibrium):


1. Reversing the rxn, causes the reciprocal of
K
2. Coefficients causes the K value to be raised
to the n-power
3. Multiply the rxns together

E cell > 0 Shift to the right


E cell < 0 Shift to the left

Notes:
• If you increase the [x] of the reactants
to shift the equilibrium to the right of a
spontaneous rxn, the E cell will also
increase and the rxn will become more
spontaneous
• If you increase the [x] of the products
to shift the equilibrium to the left of a
spontaneous rxn, the E cell will
decrease and the rxn will become less
Notes: spontaneous or nonspontaneous
• You must reverse the sign for the

Tips:
• When answering questions about
Reduction potential recall, that the
correct answer is the metal, not the ion
• Rxn do not proceed in galvanic or

• Standard Reduction Potential (*Ecell) is
