Chapter 7 Flashcards
energy is
capacity to do work
[work = action of force over distance]
heat is
energy flowing from hot to cold
kinetic energy is associated with
movement
Ex) thrown ball through the air
thermal energy is a form of
kinetic energy associated with atoms/molecules moving and colliding and rotating (in liquids and gases) as well as vibrating in all states
[all related to temperature]
Potential energy is associated with
position
-stored energy
-may require an outside source to release
ex) books on shelves
chemical energy is a form of
potential energy
-associated with positions of electrons - and nuclei +
thermodynamics is the general study of
energy and its interconversions
internal energy (E) is the sum of all
kinetic and potential energies of all particles that compose the system
[difficult to measure, easier to measure change in total energy]
Delta H is a measure of only the heat exchanged under
conditions of constant pressure
