Goal 4: The learner will develop an understanding of chemical reactions.

Objective 4.05. Analyze chemical thermodynamics

  • State functions.
  • First law: change in enthalpy; heat of formation; heat of reaction; Hess's law; heats of vaporization and fusion; calorimetry.
  • Second law: entropy; free energy of formation; free energy of reaction; dependence of change in free energy on enthalpy and entropy changes.
  • Relationship of change in free energy to equilibrium constants and electrode potentials.
