Ch 5 Flashcards
Thermochemistry
Energy changes that take place during a chemical reaction
Energy=
Work + Heat
Potential Energy
Stored energy
I.e. Rock at the top of a wall
Chemical energy
A form of potential energy where chemical bonds of a molecule act as the storage medium
Releases potential energy as heat light or work
Energy Equation
2
E =1/2mv
k
Joule
2 1kgXm 1 joule= --------- 2 S
Chemical Thermodynamics
Study of energy and its transformations
State functions
Value depends on present state of the system
Energy is a State Function
ΔE=E - E
final initial
ΔE=q+w
Specific Heat

massXΔT
Hess’s Law
ΔH is every part of the equation added together
Enthalpy
Heat input or output
Enthalpy of Formation
How elements appear at room temp (25 C)
I.e. O
