Chapter 9 Flashcards
what is the law of conservation of energy
during physical and chemical processes energy may change form but it cannot be created or destroyed
if a chemical system gains energy the surroundings ______
lose energy
if a chemical system loses energy the surroundings _______
gain energy
what is exothermic
energy/heat exit the chemical system
what is endothermic
energy/heat enter the chemical system
what does exothermic result in
results in a decrease in chemical potential energy
what does endothermic result in
results in an increase in chemical potential energy
sign for exothermic
negative
sign for endothermic
positive
exothermic graph and where to label reactants and products
starts up (label reactants) and goes down (label products)
endothermic graph
starts down (label reactants) and goes up (label products)
what are the axis labelled in endo and exothermic graphs
x=reaction pathway
y=potential energy
Thermochemical equation for exothermic and description
A+B ——> C+D+ triangle H
energy is on PRODUCT side
Thermochemical equation for endothermic and description
A+B + triangle H —>C+D
energy is on REACTANT side
exothermic equation with triangle H notation
A+B—->C+D triangle H-_______
endothermic equation with triangle H notation
A+B—->C+D triangle H+_____
what is energy
the ability to do work
what is kinetic energy
energy of motion
what is potential energy
stored energy
what is heat
transfer of thermal energy
description of molecules in a temp change
gain or lose energy and move faster or slower
3 types of molecular motion
translational
rational
vibrational
