Six lessons cover this chapter, one for each section. Open any of them on its own below, or meet it in place inside chapter 5 of the book. Tick a lesson off once you can predict what it will do before you touch it.

1

Energy, heat and work

Move energy between system and surroundings and track the signs.

2

Heat capacity and calorimetry

Drop a hot metal into water and solve q = mcΔT.

3

Enthalpy and thermochemical equations

Read endothermic and exothermic energy diagrams.

4

Hess's law

Stack reaction steps and add their enthalpies to a target.

5

Standard enthalpies of formation

Use products minus reactants to get a reaction enthalpy.

6

Bond energies

Break bonds, make bonds and total the energy change.
