Chapter 7: Thermochemistry Flashcards
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
∆U = Q - W
U = change in internal energy
Q = heat added
W = work done
____________ processes occur when the system’s temperature is constant.
isothermal
When U is constant, change in U is 0 and the first law simplifies to what?
Q = W
heat added equals work done by system
____________ processes occur when no heat is exchanged between the system and the environment. The thermal energy of the system is constant.
adiabatic
In adiabatic processes, Q = 0 and the first law simplifies to what?
∆U = -W
change in internal energy of system = work done on the system
____________ processes occur when the pressure of the system is constant. Does not alter first law.
isobaric
________________ processes experience no change in volume. No work is performed, so first law is:
isovolumetric; ∆U = Q
What is a common method for supplying energy for nonspontaneous reactions?
Coupling nonspontaneous reactions to spontaneous ones
What are the state functions?
When I’m under pressure and feeling dense, all I want to do is w
When I’m under pressure and feeling dense, all I want to do is watch TVand get HUGS
Pressure, density, temperature, volume, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, entropy
State functions describe what?
The system in equilibrium state
Standard conditions have been defined for measuring enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. What are they?
25°C
1 atm pressure
1 M concentrations
used for kinetics, eq, and thermodynamics
Liquid to gase phase is known as ________________
evaporation, or vaporization
When liquid loses a high-energy particle, the temperature of the remaining liquid ____________.
decreases
Boiling can only occur ________ the boiling point of a liquid and involves vaporization through the entire volume of the liquid.
