Ch.6 Thermochemistry Flashcards
chemical energy
energy stored within the chemical substances
heat
transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at different temp.
Thermal energy
random motion of atoms and molecules
motion is involved with heat
temp.
measure of thermal energy
thermochemistry
study of heat change in chemical reactions
exothermic
give off heat
2H2(g) + O2 (g)–> 2H2O(l)+ energy
H2O(g)–>H2O(l)+energy
Endothermic process
heat has to be supplied to the system
thermodynamics
scientific study of the interconversion of heat and other kinds of energy
state functions
final minus intial
first law of thermodynamics
it can’t be created or destroyed
delta U
q+w
change in the internal energy of a system
delta U
heat exchange between the system and the surroundings
q
work done on (or by) the system
w
w =
-P delta V when a gas expands against a constant external pressure
