Chapter 6 Flashcards
How is energy transferred?
What is it?
Through heat
The flow of energy caused by a temperature difference
What is chemical energy?
The energy associated with the relative positions of electrons and nuclei in atoms and molecules
Form of potential energy
What is the system in energy?
The system is the object with the energy initially
What is the surrounding in energy?
Are everything with which the system can exchange energy
What is the formula using mass velocity and kinetic energy?
KE= 1/2 mv^2
M in kg
V in m/s
KE in J
What are thermodynamics?
The general study of energy and its interconversions
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
The total energy of the universe is constant
The universes energy content does not change since energy cannot be created more destroyed
What is internal energy? Is it a state function?
E
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all of the particles that compose the system
Yes it is a state function since it depends only on the state of the system
What is the internal energy equation?
TriangleE= Efinal- Einitial
Or
Eproducts-EReactants
How does the internal energy of the surrounding compare to the energy of the system?
Is this the same for heat?
TriangleEsystem= -triangleESurroundings
Yes,
Qsystem=-Qsurroundings
When the system is positive where does energy flow?
Into the system from the surroundings
What is the equation of the internal energy involving work and heat transferred?
TriangleE=q+w
What is heat?
What’s temperature?
The exchange of thermal energy between a system and its surroundings caused by a temperature difference
Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy in a sample
Where does thermal energy always flow?
From matter at high temperatures to matter at lower temperatures
What is the formals using heat, heat capacity and change in temperature?
How about using specific heat capacity?
Q=C (TriangleT)
q= heat
C= heat capacity
Triangle T= change in temp
q=m x Cs x triangleT
