Energy, work and heat.
Energy exchange between the system and the surroundings.
Examples of exothermic and endothermic processes.
Calculations involving internal energy change and enthalpy change.
Calorimetry, specific heat, and heat capacity.
Calculations on the standard enthalpy of formation, the enthalpy of reaction and the bond enthalpy.
Hess’s law.
The Born–Haber cycle.
Lattice enthalpy change for ionic compounds.
