Thermochemistry
Odyssey includes a series of 5 interactive tutorials on thermochemistry:
Heat Capacity experiment
Heat Capacity
Explains Heat Capacity and guides the learner through a simulated experiment to calculate the heat capacity from a graph.
Potential and Kinetic Energy
Illustrates conservation of energy when applied to a vibrating molecule of chlorine fluoride.
Thermal Energy
Introduces the concept of thermal energy in terms of molecular motion and compares it to chemical energy.
Rotations and Vibrations
Shows how translational, rotational, and vibrational motion contribute to the thermal energy.
Reaction Energy
Covers the role of energy in chemical reactions.
