Thermodynamics: Bond and Reaction Enthalpies

Professor

38:21·2017·introductory level

This introductory lecture on thermodynamics defines bond and reaction enthalpies (∆H), examining the heat changes associated with bond breaking and formation. It provides a foundation for understanding molecular reactivity and energy transfer.

MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014

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.
