Chapter Five: Thermochemistry Flashcards
What is the study of energy and its transformations among potential energy, heat and work?
Thermodynamics
What is the relationship between chemical reactions and energy changes?
Thermochemistry
W = what times what
F x d
Work is done when a gas __________ against an opposing pressure
expands
Work is done by a force acting in a given direction. In lifting a weight, the energy is stored as gravitational….
Potential energy
This is the part of the universe that we are studying. Define as a certain amount of matter, or a certain region of space
The System
The matter or space that lies outside the system. Usually only that matter, or space, that is affected by the system
The surroundings
What kind of system?
- both matter and heat can flow in or out
Open System
What kind of system?
- heat can flow in or out, but not matter
Closed System
What kind of system?
- neither heat or matter can flow in or out
Isolated System
The universe = what plus what
system + surroundings
Energy transferred as heat can either (1) increase the ___________ or (2) change the _________ of a substance (solid,liquid,gas)
Temperature
Phase
The measure of the speed at which atoms or molecules are moving, heat is a measure of the Kinetic Energy that is transferred
Temperature
Most chemical reactions is mainly associated with what kind of energy?
Potential Energy
A system possesses its potential energy by virtue of its position, configuration, or chemical…
