MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014 View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/5-111F14 Instructor: Catherine Drennan Thermodynamics is key to understanding the reactivity of molecules and compounds. In this first of three lectures on thermodynamics, viewers are introduced to ∆H, and asked to consider how much heat it will take to break one type of molecular bond versus another. Viewers are also asked whether a particular chemical reaction will release heat or absorb heat.
