Contributed by: Wilkins
  • 1. Thermochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and chemical reactions. It involves the study of how energy is transferred during chemical reactions and physical transformations. Through thermochemistry, scientists can analyze the heat flow that occurs in various processes, as well as calculate the heat changes associated with chemical reactions. Understanding thermochemistry is crucial for predicting the behavior of substances under different conditions and optimizing industrial processes for maximum efficiency.
