Chapter 6 Quiz Flashcards
Thermochemistry
The study of the relationship between chemistry & energy
Work
The result of a force acting through a distance
Heat
The flow of energy caused by temp. difference
Kinetic energy
The energy associated with the motion of an object
Thermal energy
The energy associated with the temperature of an object
Potential energy
The energy associated with the position or composition of an object
Chemical energy
The energy associated with the relative positions of electrons & nuclei in atoms & molecules (form of potential energy)
Law of conservation of energy
States that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
System
A set of substances & energy that are being studied
Surroundings
Everything with which the system can exchange energy
KE =
1/2mv^2
1/2(mass)(velocity^2)
1kg m^2/s^2
1 joule (J)
calorie (cal)
4.184 J
Calorie (Cal)
4184 J
Joules
SI unit of energy
First law of thermodynamics
The total energy of the universe is constant / does not change
Internal energy
The sum of kinetic & potential energies of all of the particles that compose the system. It is a state function
State function
The value depends only on the state of the system
ΔE =
E(final) - E(initial)
E(products) - E(reactants)
q + w OR heat + work
