6.4 Energy Flashcards
Kinetic energy vs potential energy
Energy of motion vs stored energy
How is energy related to the process of breaking bonds?
Requires energy to break bond, then releases energy.
Endothermic: The bond breaking process in reactants requires more energy than is released in total. Energy from an external source must be absorbed.
Exothermic vs endothermic
Exo: less energy is absorbed than released
Endo: more energy is absorbed than released
Energy in chemical reactions is measured in __
Kilojoules (kJ)
Open system define
Both energy and matter can flow in/out of the system
Closed system define
The reactants r closed to the surrounding environment, allowing the transfer of energy in/out excluding the transfer of matter.
Enthalpy define
Measure of the total internal energy (KE and PE) of a system under constant pressure. Depends on the states of the products/reactants.
