I'm having problems understanding the ideas in the topic of thermal chemistry and would appreciate any sort of overview of the main concepts you could provide.

The basic idea behind thermochemistry is that when a chemical reaction takes place, some amount of energy is given off or absorbed. There are many different definitions of the "energy" given off in the chemical reaction - this mainly depends on the conditions. The following table illustrates this:
delta G gibbs free energy reaction takes place under
constant pressure, volume
is allowed to change
delta A helmholtz free energy reaction takes place under
constant volume, pressure is
allowed to change
delta H enthalpy usually for reactions in a
calorimeter (constant volume
& pressure)
There can be a lot of confusion about when to use which of these - basically the best thing to do is to do lots of practice problems ...
Solution Summary
The solution provides a brief overview of the topic of thermal chemistry, including explanations of Gibbs' free energy, enthalpy, endo/exothermic reactions and more.
A simplified model of ADC noise refers the noise to a noisy input source resistance Rn while assuming the rest of the signal path to be noiseless. Attached Figure represents a particular 18-bit ADC that has a 10V input voltage range. The ADC has a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Calculate the maximum value of Rn if the resolution of the ADC
1. A wire of resistance 5.0 ohm is connected to a battery whose emf is 2.0V and whose potential resistance is 1.0 ohm. In 2.0min, how much energy is (a) transferred from chemical form in the battery, (b) dissipated as thermal energy in the wire, and (c) dissipated as thermal energy in the battery?

The DC input power, heat generation and maximum thermal resistance of class A and B amplifiers are calculated. We know that the AC output power is 200 Watts, and that the Class A and Class B amplifiers operate with the maximum theoretical efficiency. We also know that the BJT power transistor has a maximum junction temperature
A uniform copper bar 50 cm long is insulated on the sides and has its ends exposed to ice and steam respectively. If there is a layer of water 0.1 mm thick at each end, calculate the temperature gradient in the bar at steady state.

The composite wall of an oven consists of three materials, two of which are of known thermal conductivity, kA = 20 W/m?K and kC = 50 W/m?K, and known thickness, LA = 0.30 m and LC = 0.15 m. The third material, B, which is sandwiched between materials A and C, is of known thickness, LB = 0.15m but the thermal conductivity kB is
