Ap Chem. Ch.5 Flashcards
The study of the relationships between chemical reactions and energy changes involving heat.
Thermochemistry
The study of energy and its transformations
Thermodynamics
Ability to work or transfer heat.
Energy
Energy used to cause and object that has mass to move.
Work
Energy used to cause the temperature of an object to rise.
Heat
Energy of motion
Kinetic energy
Equation for kinetic energy
E = 1/2mv^2
k
Energy an object possesses by virtue of its position or chemical composition.
Potential enery
Joule actually equals…
1 kg(m^2)/s^2
Work equation
F x d
The energy transfered from a hotter object to a colder one.
- deals with the motion of objects
- always flows from hot to cold objects
Heat
States that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The first law of thermodynamics
The total energy of a system
Internal energy
Changes in internal energy can be measured using this equation.
/_\ E= Ef-Ei
When a system undergoes a physival or chemical change, the change in internal energy is given by the heat added or liberated from the system plus the work done on or by the system. What is the equation?
/_\E= q +w
