Chapter 9 & 10 Flashcards
— study of energy and its transformations
* comes from Greek “Therme” = Heat & “Dynamics” = power
Thermodynamics
— relationship between chemical reactions & energy changes.
Thermochemistry
— amount of energy required to move an object a certain distance (d) when subjected to a force (F).
— expanding gases; system changing volume
Work (mechanical)
Work Formula
F x d
— any kind of push or pull on an object.
Force
— capacity to do work.
Energy
— energy transferred from 1 object to another because of a difference in temperature.
Heat
