Chapter 5 Flashcards
Thermodynamics
study of energy and energy trasnfer
Thermochemistry
study of energy changes that accompany transformations of matter ex. dissolution of NaOH (s) releases heat
Studying energy changes
First law of thermodynamics/law of conservation of energy
- total energy of universe is constant
- energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Can energy be transformed or converted onto other forms
Yes
ex. kinetic E of running water or heat energy
system
the portion of the universe being studied
surroundings
Everything else ex. the lab
universe
= system + surroundings
Heat (Q)
refers to transfer of kinetic energy, unit is J, temp in K= 0C = 273.15K
enthalpy
total internal energy of a substance at a constant pressure, (delta H)
what is an enthalpy change in a chemical reaction
- breaking a bond
- creating a bond
endothermic reaction
results in net absorption of energy-bond breaking in reactants absorb more energy than released in the bond formation of products
exothermic reaction
results in loss of energy-bond formation of products release more energy than absorbed by bond breaking in reactants
which is energy released which is energy absorbed
endo- absorbed (+KJ)
exo- released (-KJ)
delta H reaction
enthalpy of a reaction
delta H
standard enthalpy of reaction
