Lecture 15: Thermodynamics: Bond and Reaction Enthalpies

Om kurset

Description: Embedded video, no tabs, this description appears on section page: Thermodynamics is key to understanding the reactivity of molecules and compounds. In this first of three lectures on thermodynamics, viewers are introduced to ∆H, and asked to consider how much heat it will take to break one type of molecular bond versus another. Viewers are also asked whether a particular chemical reaction will release heat or absorb heat. Instructor: Catherine Drennan
