Chapter 5 Flashcards
What is the equation to find Electrostatic Potential energy?
Eel= kQ1Q2/d
What is zero electrostatic potential energy?
as the potential energy at infinite speration of the charged particles.
When Q1 and Q2 have the same sign what happens to the particles?
they repel each other and a repulsive forces pushes them apart
How do you bring two postiviely charged objects closer?
you have to do work to overcome the repulsive force that exists between the two
What does the potential energy do as Electrostatic energy is postive?
deceares
What does distance do as potential energy decreases?
increase
What happens when Q1 and Q2 have opposite signs?
the particles attract each other and an attractive force pulls them toward each other
When is Electrostatic potential energy negative?
when the charges have opposite signs
What does the potential energy do as Electrostatic enrgy is negative
increases
What does distance do as potential energy increases?
decrease
How is energy released?
chemical bonds are formed
How is energy consumed?
chemical bonds are broken
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
energy can be converted from one from to another, but it is neither created nor destroyed
What is the equation to find internal energy?∆E
∆E= q+w
What is the system?
the portion of the unvierse that we single out for study
What is the surroundings?
everything that lies outside teh system that we study
What is an open system?
one in which matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings
Ex:an uncovered pot of boiling water on a stove
What is a closed system?
exchange energy but not matter with its surroundings
Ex:a mixture of hydrogen gas, and oxygen gas in a cylinder fitted with a piston
What is an isolated system?
neither energy nor matter can be exchanged with the surroundings
Ex: an insulated thermos containing hot coffee
What is internal energy?
the sum of all the kinetic and potnetial energies of the componetns of the system
What does a -∆E mean?
lost energy to its surroundings
What does a +∆E mean?
gained energy from its surroundings
What causes ther maginuted of internal energy(∆E) to change?
the adding and removing of heat or as work is done on or by the system
When heat is added to a system do the ∆E increase or decrease?
increases
When work is done on a system does ∆E increase or decrease?
increases
When does q or heat have a postive value?
when heat is transferred to the system from the surroundings
When does w(work) have a postive value?
when work is done on the system by the surroundings
When heat is lost by the system does ∆E increase or decrease?
decrease
When work is done by the system on the surroundings does ∆E increase or decrease?
decrease
When does w(work) have a negative value?
when work is done by the system on the surroundings
When does q(heat) have a negative value?
heat lost by the system to the surroiundings
When is a process endothermic?
system absorbs heat from its surroundings
When is a process exothermic?
system loses heat
What influences internal energy of a system?
temperature and pressure
