Q

thermal energy

A

The energy associated with the temperature of an object. It is actually a type of kinetic energy because it arises from the motions of atoms or molecules with a substance.

Q

state function

A

A function whose value depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system got to that state. Internal energy is a state function.

16
Q

Change in internal energy ΔE of a chemical system

A

ΔE = Eproducts - Ereactants

17
Q

Energy flow between system and surroundings

A

ΔEsystem = -ΔEsurroundings

18
Q

Relationship between internal energy, heat, and work

A

The change in the internal energy of the system (ΔE) is the sum of the heat transferred (q) and the work done (w).

ΔE = q + w

q (heat)

  • +system gains thermal energy
    • system loses thermal energy

w(work)

    • work done on the system
    • work done by the system

ΔE (change in internal energy)

    • energy flows into the system
    • energy flows out of the system
19
Q

thermal equilibrium

A

There is no additional net transfer of heat.

qsystem = - qsurrounding

20
Q

heat capacity

A

(C) The quantity of heat required to change its temperature by 1 °C.

C = q/ΔT = J/°C

21
Q

relationship between heat (q), temperature (T), and heat capacity

A

q = C x ΔT

22
Q

specific heat capacity

A

The measure of the intrinsic capacity of a substance to absorb heat. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1°C.

Unit is J/g •°C

23
Q

molar heat capacity

A

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1°C. Unit is J/mol•°C

24
Q

Relationship between Heat (q), Mass (m), Temperature (T), and specific heat capacity of a substance (Cs)

A

q = m x Cs x ΔT

25
pressure-volume work
When the force is caused by a volume change against an external pressure.
26
pressure
The force that pushes against the cylinder divided by the area of the cylinder.
27
Relationship between work, pressure, and change in volume
w = -PΔV ## Footnote As the volume of the cylinder increases, work is done on the surroundings by the system, so w should be negative. Upon expanision, V2 is greater than V1 so ΔV is positive. In order for w to be negative for a positive expansion, we need to add a negative sign to our equation.
