  2. Reaction calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_calorimeter

    A reaction calorimeter is a calorimeter that measures the amount of energy released (in exothermic reactions) or absorbed (in endothermic reactions) by a chemical reaction. It does this by measuring the total change in temperature of an exact amount of water in a vessel.

  3. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript means "reaction" and the superscript means "standard".

  4. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions release heat. Thermochemistry coalesces the concepts of thermodynamics with the concept of energy in the form of chemical bonds. The subject commonly includes calculations of such quantities as heat capacity, heat of combustion, heat of formation, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.

  5. Calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter

    Continuous reaction calorimeter. The Continuous Reaction Calorimeter is especially suitable to obtain thermodynamic information for a scale-up of continuous processes in tubular reactors. This is useful because the released heat can strongly depend on the reaction control, especially for non-selective reactions.

  6. Calorimeter constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter_constant

    A calorimeter constant (denoted C cal) is a constant that quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It may be calculated by applying a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the calorimeter's corresponding change in temperature .

  7. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    Thermodynamic data is usually presented as a table or chart of function values for one mole of a substance (or in the case of the steam tables, one kg). A thermodynamic datafile is a set of equation parameters from which the numerical data values can be calculated.

  8. Calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimetry

    Calorimetry requires that a reference material that changes temperature have known definite thermal constitutive properties. The classical rule, recognized by Clausius and Kelvin, is that the pressure exerted by the calorimetric material is fully and rapidly determined solely by its temperature and volume; this rule is for changes that do not involve phase change, such as melting of ice.

  9. Hess's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess's_law

    The concepts of Hess's law can be expanded to include changes in entropy and in Gibbs free energy, since these are also state functions. The Bordwell thermodynamic cycle is an example of such an extension that takes advantage of easily measured equilibria and redox potentials to determine experimentally inaccessible Gibbs free energy values.
