7 Thermochemistry Flashcards
1st Law of Thermodynamics
internal energy
delta U = Q - W
Q: heat added
W: work done by system
isothermal process
constant temperature = constant total internal energy
adiabatic process
no heat exchange
Q = 0
change in internal energy equals the negative work done by system
isobaric process
constant pressure does not alter 1st Law
isovolumetric/isochoric process
constant volume
W = 0
change in internal energy equals heat added
coupling reactions
to make for a spontaneous overall reaction
state functions
systems in equilibrium
process functions
pathway taken from one equilibrium to another
“STP”
273 K x 1 atm
“standard conditions”
298 K x 1 atm x 1 M
0th Law of Thermodynamics
objects in thermal equilibrium only when their temperatures are equal
