Ch. 10 Energy Flashcards
Energy
The ability to do something
Potential Energy
- Stored energy, waiting to be used
2. Depends on height
Kinetic Energy
- Energy in use
2. Converted from potential energy
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy is neither created nor destroyed
State Function
A change that occurs that is independent of the pathway taken
Ex: Change in elevation
Temperature
Measure of the randomness in the movement of particles
Heat
- Flow of energy as temperature changes
2. Flows from hot to cold
System
Focal point
Surroundings
The thing going on around the system
Exothermic
Energy being released
Endothermic
Energy being absorbed
&E = q + w
- Change in energy = heat + work
2. Heat and work have both a sign and a magnitude
1 Cal = ? Joules
1 cal = 4.184 J
Also the specific heat of water
q = cm&t
heat = specific heat capacity (mass) (change in temperature)
Specific Heat Capacity
Amount of heat you need to raise 1 gram of something 1 degree Celsius
A 5.63 g sample of solid gold is heated from 21 C to 32 C. How much energy (J and cal) is required?
C= 0.13 q = (.13)(5.63)(21) = 15 J 15 J (1 cal / 4.184 J) = 3.6 J
When 1 mol of methane is burned at constant pressure; 890 kJ of energy is released as heat. Calculate &H for a process in which a 5.8g sample of methane is burned at constant pressure.
5.8 g CH4 ( 1 mol/16.05) = .36 mol CH4
.36 mol CH4 (890 kJ/1 mol) = -320 kJ (released)
What are the steps/rules for a Hess’ Law Equation?
- Look at the equations
- Ask “what needs to be a reactant?”
- Ask “what needs to be a product?”
- Reverse an equation that needs to be switched around by multiplying by a negative number
- Things that are exactly the same on both sides of equations can cancel out
- Can multiply by different numbers to get the correct coefficient
- Combine the &H’s
Enthalpy
Is equal to the energy flow as heat
What is the driving force for every exothermic process?
Entropy (degree of disorder/energy spread)
A gas releases 25.9 J of heat and has 99 J of work done on it. Calculate &E
&E = q + w &E = (-)25.9 + 99 &E = +73.1
