ALL my advanced pre-university/college level theoretical chemistry revision study notes

GCSE Level (~US grades 9-10) introduction to basic thermochemistry and calculations


Part 0 for GCSE-IGCSE level students

(but a useful introduction for advanced level students including calorimetry)

Energetics - introduction to energy changes

(4 linked GCSE/IGCSE/O level pages listed below including practical calorimetry methods)

Reversible reactions and energy changes

Activation energy and reaction profiles

Introduction to bond energy/enthalpy calculations

Calorimetry methods and energy transfer calculations from calorimeter results


Parts 1 to 3 are only for Advanced A Level Students

PLEASE note that delta H/S/G values vary slightly from source to source, so I apologise in advance for any inconsistencies that may have arisen as I've researched and developed each section.


Part 1. Basic thermochemistry, calorimetry and enthalpy changes

1.1 Advanced Introduction to enthalpy changes – defining enthalpies of reaction, of formation, of neutralisation, of combustion, bond enthalpy and thermochemistry-thermodynamics standard conditions

1.2a-1.2b(i)-(iii) Thermochemistry: Hess's Law calculations using various enthalpy values of reaction

1.2b(iv) Bond Enthalpy Calculations

1.3a–b Experimental methods for determining enthalpy changes and treatment of results for 9 investigations

1.4a-b Enthalpy data patterns - combustion of alkanes linear aliphatic alcohols, bond enthalpies and bond Length

1.4c-d Trend in enthalpies of neutralisation, enthalpies of hydrogenation and evidence of aromatic ring structure in benzene

Extra Question page A set of practice enthalpy calculations with worked out answers


Part 2. Extension of defined enthalpies leading to a full exposition of BORN-HABER CYCLE calculations and use of the cycle to derive thermochemical  data for reactions which are difficult or impossible to achieve experimentally

2.1a-c Introducing enthalpies of ion hydration, solution, atomisation, lattice energy, electron affinity, solvation

2.1d–e Enthalpy Hess's Law cycles involving a salt dissolving

2.2a–d The Born–Haber Cycle calculations, uses, comparing theoretical/experimental lattice enthalpies


Part 3. Introducing entropy, feasibility of reactions, entropy and free energy calculations, all about ΔS and ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3.1a–g Introduction to Entropy :

3.2-3.3a Examples of entropy values, comments, ΔS and change of physical state

3.3b-c ΔS, Entropy changes and the feasibility of a chemical change

3.4a–n Feasibility of chemical change, ΔG, free energy change equation, calculations and applications

3.5-3.6 Calculating equilibrium constants from ΔG equation, kinetic stability - thermodynamic feasibility
