Definition
the accurate and precise measurement of heat change for chemical and physical processes
Term
chemical potential energy
Definition
energy stored within the structural units of chemical substances
Term
endothermic process
Definition
a process that absorbs heat from the surroundings

Term
Enthalpy (H)
Definition
the heat content of a system at constant pressure
Term
Exothermic Process
Definition
a heat-dissipating process
Term
heat
Definition
the energy that is transferred from one body to another because of a temperature difference
Term
heat capacity
Definition
the quantity of heat required to change an object's temperature by exactly 1 ?C
Term
heat of combustion
Definition
the heat released during a chemical reaction in which one mole of a substance is completely burned
Term
heat of reaction
Definition
the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction; equivalent to h, the change in enthalpy
Term
Hess's law of heat summation
Definition
in going from a particular set of reactants to a particular set of products, the enthalpy change is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps
Term

Definition
the SI unit of energy; 4.184 J equals one calorie
Term
law of conservation of energy
Definition
energy is neither created nor destroyed in an ordinary chemical or physical process
Term
molar heat of condensation
Definition
the heat,in joules or calories, released by 1 mole of a substance as it changes from a vapor to a liquid at the liquid's boiling point
Term
molar heat of fusion
Definition
the energy,in kilojoules, required to melt 1 mole of a solid
Term
molar heat of solidification
Definition
the heat,in joules or calories, released by 1 mole of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a solid at the solid's melting point
Term
molar heat of solution
Definition
the heat,in joules or calories, released by 1 mole of a substance as it dissolves in water to produce 1 liter of a 1 molar solution
Term
molar heat of vaporization
Definition
the energy, in kilojoules, required to vaporize 1 mole of a liquid
Term
specific heat
Definition
the quantity of heat, in joules or calories, required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance 1?C
