Chapter 7 - Thermo Chem Flashcards
Isolated System
The system cannot exchange energy or matter with the surrounding
Closed. System
The system can exchange energy, but not matter with the surrounding
Open system
Can exchange both energy and matter with the surrounding
Process
Any change in one or more of the systems properties.
Isothermal process
Systems temperature remains constant
Adiabatic system
A process with no heat exchange between the system in the environment
Isobaric process
A system process when the pressure remains constant
Isochoric process
The process with no change in volume of the system
Spontaneous process
A process that does not need energy from an outside source
Coupling
Non-spontaneous reactions or coupled with spontaneous ones to provide the energy needed to fulfill the process
State function
Descriptors of the system in an equilibrium state. Pressure, density, temperature, volume, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy
Standard conditions
25 C(298K) 1atm 1M concentration The conditions in which enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy Are recorded
Standard state
The most stable form of a substance
Boiling
Rapid bubbling of the entire liquid, occurring when the entire liquid is above the boiling point, and vaporization occurs throughout the liquid.
Deposition
Opposite of sublimation, from a gas directly to a solid
