Reading Assignment:• Chang, Chapter 6.7, 9.10

Hess’ Law is used to calculate the heat released by a chemical reaction.

needed?Is there an advantage to produce

liquid water or steam as a by-product?

Acetylene

Determine the heat released when one pound(454 g) of acetylene is burned.

To obtain a "hotter" flame, oxygen is often burned with

acetylene.

Why is the flame hotter?

Thermite Reaction

The Thermite Reaction has been used as amethod to weld together railroad rails.

It involves a single displacement reactionin which iron(III) oxide is burned with

aluminum powder.

Adiabatic Expansion

The same process occurs, except there is no heat flow allowed between the system and the surroundings.

On expansion, the gas will cool and follows a non-isothermal PV curve.

Adiabatic Expansion

In each of the examples, a different pressure change pathway is followed by the gas.

How much work will be done if the process is reversed to complete the cycle?

Carnot Cycle

Consists of two isothermal and two adiabatic steps, occurring alternatively.

One of each type of step is involved in compression and expansion.
