Thermochem Song A Capella

A mashup of “The Cup Song” and “We Are Young”

(Start with cup)

Why don’t you turn to chapter 17?

It’s time to study thermochem.

It’s the best part of this big text book!

So wake up, you better listen up!

Listen up,

Listen up here guys!

I’m trying to teach you brand new things!

For example, energy’s the capacity for doing work,

Or even just supplying heat.

The Law of Conservation of Energy

States in almost any process

Energy is neither created nor is it destroyed.

It’s not magic, it’s chemistry.

Pay attention,

Pay attention, guys!

I’m trying to teach you something new!

For example, Enthalpy’s the heat content of a system,

Always at constant pressure!

.

(Cup drops out, continue fully A Capella)

Give me a second I-

I need to get this chapter straight,

My friends are in the chem lab

Melting ice and writing down some notes.

Energy changes occur as either heat transfer or work

Or even a combo of both things!

So if by the time the school closes,

And you feel like flunking out,

I’ll help you study…

Thermochem!!

Heat flow is measured

In two common units

Calorie and Joule!

Thermochem!!

A calorimeter

Is used to measure

Absorption of heat!

So if by the time the school closes,

And you feel like flunking out,

I’ll help you

Get

An A!
