Thermochemistry

This topic explores energy changes during chemical reactions, focusing on enthalpy changes (ΔH) as per the Zambian CBC. You will learn to differentiate between exothermic and endothermic reactions, interpret energy profile diagrams, and perform calculations involving heat changes using the formula q = mcΔT. Understanding thermochemistry explains real-world applications like fuel combustion and hand warmers. ECZ examinations often include questions on interpreting energy diagrams and simple enthalpy calculations. Competence in this topic enhances your ability to analyze the energy aspects of chemical processes, a skill assessed in both theory and practical components of your Form 3 and Form 4 assessments.
