Document Summary

The reaction whose q is to be measured occurs in an internal steel chamber (called a bomb) surrounded by water. The chamber"s volume is constant, therefore no work is done. The bomb and reactants are the system, the water bath is the surroundings. E = q (at constant volume) q cal = - q rxn qcal = - ccal x t cal (cal = calorimeter) qrxn = - ccal x t cal. The enthalpy, h, of a system is defined as: H only represents heat exchange; e is heat and work. For many reactions h and e are similar. H reaction = h products - h reactants. If h is positive, the reaction is endothermic. If h is negative, the reaction is exothermic. Coffee cup calorimeters run at atmospheric pressure and give h for reactions in solution. Heat is transferred to or from the reactants (system) to the solution (surroundings) Qsoln = cs soln m soln t soln.
