ch 7 Flashcards
energy
capacity to do work
work
force acting through a distance
heat
flow of energy caused by a temp difference
kinetic energy
energy associated with motion
thermal energy
type of KE associated with the temperature
potential energy
energy associated with the position or composition of an object
chemical energy
type of PE associated with the positions of electrons/nuclei in atoms and molecules
law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be crated or destroyed
KE formula
KE= 1/2mv^2
SI unit of energy
Joule (J) = kg x m^2/s^2
SI unit of energy
Joule (J) = kg x m^2/s^2
SI unit of energy
Joule (J) = kg x m^2/s^2
SI unit of energy
Joule (J) = kg x m^2/s^2
specific heat
amount of energy required to raise the temp of 1 g of water by 1 degree C
1 cal = _____ J
4.184 J
Calorie (Cal)=
1 Cal = 1kcal = 1000 cal
thermodynamics
study of energy and its interconversions
first law of thermodynamics
total energy of the universe is constant
Internal Energy (E)
sum of the Ke and PE of all particles that compose the system
internal energy is a ____ function.
state function: its value depends only on the state of the system, not how it arrived at that state.
ΔE=
ΔE= E(final)-E(initial)
in a chemical system ΔE=
ΔE= E(products) - E(reactants)
the amount of energy lost by the system must exactly equal
the amount gained by the surroundings
ΔE(system)= -ΔE____
-ΔE surroundings
