Chapter 6: Thermochemistry- Part 1 Flashcards
What is energy?
The ability to transfer heat
The ability to do work
Work
Symbol: W
W=(force)x(distance)
Major Types of Energy?
PE and KE
Potential Energy
-It is associated with position
-No one equation for calculating PE
Kinetic Energy
-Associated with motion
-Formula KE=1/2mv^2
-M(mass) express in kg
V(velocity) express in m s-1
Problem: What is the kinetic Energy in kg m^2 s^-2, of a baseball (145.5g) moving at 144.841 km hr^-1?
145.5g=0.1455kg
(144.841km hr-1)(1000m/1km)(1hr/3600sec)=40.23m/s
KE=1/2(0.1455kg)(40.23m/s)^2
117.8 kg m^2 s^-2
Heat (thermal energy)
-Energy usually associated with temperature changes…
-Also associated with molecular/atomic motion
Other forms of energy?
~Electrical
~Solar
~Nuclear
~Geothermal
~Chemical
Law of Conservation of Energy contain?
1st law of thermodynamics
Systems
Surroundings
Enthalpy
What is system?
Limited portion of the world that we are interested in.
What is surroundings?
Everything else e.g. the universe
Energy movement is defined in terms of the system and surroundings.
Exothermic processes
Endothermic processes
Exothermic processes
Energy moving from the system to the surroundings.
Endothermic processes
Energy moving from the surroundings to the system.
What is the state function?
A property that is dependent only on the current condition and is independent of how it arrived at that condition.
E.g. altitude, temperature
