endothermic process
A process that absorbs heat from the surroundings
enthalpy
The heat content of a system at constant pressure
exothermic process
A process that releases heat to its surroundings
heat
Energy that transfers from one object to another because of temperature difference between the objects
heat capacity
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1°C
hess law of heat summation
if you addtwo or more Theo chemical equations to give a final equation then you also add the heat of reaction to give the final heat of reaction
law of conservation of energy
in any chemical or physical process energy is neither created nor destroyed
specific heat
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 1 g of the sun since 1°C
thermochemistry
The study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and changes and state
calorimetry
The precise measurement of heat flow out of the system or chemical and physical processes
