Calorimetry: Crash Course Chemistry

The video explores the properties and reactions of hydrochloric acid (HCL) and sodium hydroxide, focusing on their neutralization reaction that produces heat. It delves into the concepts of enthalpy and Hess's Law, explaining how they relate to heat changes in chemical reactions. The video also demonstrates a calorimetry experiment to measure heat change, comparing the results with theoretical predictions using Hess's Law. The importance of understanding heat changes in practical applications, such as fuel calculations and medical packs, is highlighted.
