CHEM 105 Ch. 9-10 Flashcards
energy
anything that has the capacity to do work
work
a force acting over a distance (energy = work = force x distance)
heat
the flow of energy caused by a difference in temperature
kinetic energy
energy of motion or energy that is being transferred
thermal energy
energy associated with temperature (a form of kinetic energy)
potential energy
energy that is stored in an object or energy associated with the composition and position of the object
energy stored in the structure of a compound is
potential energy
chemical energy
potential energy due to the structure of the atoms, the attachment between atoms, the atoms’ positions relative to each other in the molecule, or the molecules’ relative positions in the structure
nuclear energy
potential energy in the nucleus of atoms
light/radiant energy
kinetic energy associated with energy transitions in an atom
heat/thermal energy
kinetic energy associated with molecular motion
electrical energy
kinetic energy associated with the flow of electrical charge
the amount of kinetic energy an object has is directly proportional to
its mass and velocity (KE = 1/2 mv^2)
when the mass is in kg and the velocity is in m/s, the unit for KE is
a joule (J) 1 J = kg*m^2/s^2 = 1 N*m
one joule of energy is the amount of energy needed to move a ? kg mass at a speed of ? m/s
1, 1
a calorie (cal) is
the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g water by 1*C
1 kcal = energy needed to
raise 1000g water by 1*C
a food Calorie (Cal) is ? calories
1000
1 Cal = 1 kcal
1 calorie = ? joules
4.184
1 kWh = ? joules

thermodynamics
the study of energy that is exchanged between the system and surroundings
the first law of thermodynamics
the law of conservation of energy
the law of conservation of energy means that
the total amount of energy in the universe is constant; it is conserved (therefore, you can never design a system that will continue to produce energy without some source of energy)
system
the part of the universe that is being studied
surroundings
everything else in the universe with which the system can exchange energy
when energy flows from the system to the surrounds,
the energy of the system decreases, the energy of the surroundings increases; exothermic
when energy flows from the surroundings to the system,
the energy of the system increases, the energy of the surroundings decreases; endothermic
conservation of energy means that the amount of energy gained or lost by the system has to be (less than/greater than/equal to) the amount of energy lost or gained by the surroundings
equal to
internal energy
the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles that compose the system
the change in the internal energy of a system only depends on
the amount of energy in the system at the beginning and end
state function
a mathematical function whose result only depends on the initial and final conditions, not on the process used
energy diagram
a “graphical” way of showing the direction of energy flow during a process
if the reactants have a lower internal energy than the products, then the change in energy will be
positive (endothermic)
if the reactants have a higher internal energy than the products, then the change in energy will be
negative (exothermic)
energy is exchanged between the system and surroundings through
heat and work
if q (heat) is positive
system gains thermal energy
if q (heat) is negative
system loses thermal energy
if w (work) is positive
work is done on the system
if w (work) is negative
work is done by the system
if ΔE (change in internal energy) is positive
energy flows into the system
if ΔE (change in internal energy) is negative
energy flows out of the system
heat is the exchange of
thermal energy between a system and surroundings
heat exchange occurs when
system and surroundings have a difference in temperature
temperature
the measure of the thermal energy within a sample of matter
heat flows from matter with (low/high) temperature to matter with (low/high) temperature until both objects reach the same temperature (thermal equilibrium)
high to low
increase in temperature is directly proportional to ? and the proportionality constant is called the ?
the amount of heat absorbed; heat capacity (C)
units for heat capacity (C) are ? and the equation is ?
J/*C or J/K
q = cΔT
the larger the heat capacity of the object being studied, the (smaller/larger) the temperature rise will be for a given amount of heat
smaller
factors affecting heat capacity
amount of matter, type of material
the heat capacity of an object is proportional to
its mass and the specific heat of the material
the quantity of heat absorbed by an object can be determined if the following are known with the equation ?
mass, specific heat capacity, temperature change
q = m x C x ΔT
