| water | has a high specific heat (4.18 J/g.C)OR 1 cal/g.C |
| Q = (mass)(specific heat)(change in temp) | heat lost or gained |
| molar heat capacity | expressed in J/mol.C |
| endothermic | heat is transfered INTO a system |
| exothermic | heat is transferred OUT of a system |
| enthalpy | heat transferred into or out of a system (H) |
| Hess's Law | "if a reaction is the sum of two or more reactions, the overall "H" must be the sum of the "H's" for each reaction" |
