5.2 Calorimetry | General Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Calorimetry. He begins by defining a calorimeter and its heat capacity and then showing how it can be used to experimentally determine the enthalpy of a reaction. The specific heat of a substance is then defined and examples are worked showing how to calculate the quantity of heat absorbed or emitted from a substance based upon its change in temperature using the following equation:
q = mC(Delta T)
A standard heating curve is also presented, and it is demonstrated how to calculate the heat involved in a phase change as well. Multiple example calculations are performed at every stage of the lesson.
I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page. Check this lesson out at www.chadsprep....

It's actually nuts that your channel isn't bigger chief. Everything I've had to cover this semester, you've conveniently got a concise video in a consistent format for. Gonna be binging your videos over summer to get ready for next semester.

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks for saying so, D D - glad the channel is helping!

Chad, you are an incredible teacher. You explain things so well; I constantly have "eureka" moments when I watch your videos. Thank you so much.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - and Thank You.

I'm in organic chem now and tutoring for general chem. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER CHAD! 24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24-26

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you and To You as Well!

best calorimetry lesson i watched and it has been two days i was trying to learn this

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you - glad it helped out!

[@paarmyida]

Amazing lesson! I have exam in 4 days and now i can easily do the problems so a win for me Also i wanted to know if you have any plans on making playlists for subjects like inorganic or analytical chemistry? Because i definitely wouldn't want to lose any of that

[@verano.violet]

Dude! You’re an amazing teacher. These videos are helping a TON in my engineering degree. How can I ever repay you?

[@ChadsPrep]

Study hard and succeed - or give me your first born. Either one will do. :-P

[@michailtimanov1841]

Great video on the topic!

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you!

Do you know by change if qsurrounding and qsystem are proportional? I have been seeing qsys= -qsurrounding. I was wondering if it's the same as saying -qsys = -qsurrounding. I was doing a problem asking to solve for the enthalpy change of the system given information of everything about the solution. I solved it and got a positive answer but switched it to negative since I was assuming they were proportional.

Great stuff Chad, you saved my life. Do you have scholarships/discounts for students who want to have access in your test bank and other resources? Thanks a lot.

Super super good video. Thanx!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome and Thank You.

[@duha_alkhaldi]

thank you so much for saving us

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome.

[@ashantimolebatsi2164]

WOW this is really good

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank You!

[@temidayooke6270]

Awesome

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you.

[@Moose2498]

Nature wants to demonstrate calorimetry!! 😅

[@ChadsPrep]

Indeed!

[@ceazerilukena]

Sir can you please share some worksheets if possible

[@ChadsPrep]

we don't have worksheets for the channel but they are available on our courses on chadsprep.com

[@Shaneliffin]

Bud is getting me through AP Chem- thank you so much 🙏🏿

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping you.
