CHEM111 CHAPTER 8-12 Flashcards
Thermodynamics
Study of energy and temperature changes
Potential energy
Stored energy that matter possesses due to its position, condition and/or composition (cohesive force)
Kinetic energy
Energy of motion (disruptive force)
What happens when a substance absorbs heat energy
The particles within the substance vibrate and move faster
Equation that represents energy, heat and work
ΔE=q+w. Triangle E represents change in energy, q is heat, and w is work
Exothermic change
Releases heat energy (-q)
Endothermic change
Absorbs energy (+q)
Law of conservation of energy
Also called the first law of thermodynamics that states energy cannot be created or destroyed (ΔEsystem)=-(ΔEsurroundings)
Specific heat
Relationship between heat, mass, and temperature. It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of material by one degree Celsius. s=q/mΔT
Coffee cup calorimetry
When water is placed in an insulated cup covered with a cork lid and a thermometer. The system to be studied is placed inside the coffee cup and the reaction or change is allowed to take place
Bomb calorimetry
Measures the heats of reactions for fuels and other high energy chemical changes. T substance is placed in a heavy steal container and outside of the container is a second container filled with water and equipped with a thermometer
Extensive property
Energy absorbed or released in a reaction
Fuel value
The amount of heat energy that can be released by a combustion reaction of a certain substance (expressed in terms of energy per unit gram)
Reaction enthalpy
Amount of heat energy that is absorbed or released in a chemical reaction at constant pressure represented by triangle Hrxn
Physical state depends on (4):
- Chemical identity of the matter (what it is)
- Temperature of the matter
- Pressure the matter is subjected to
- The intermolecular forces that hold it together
Q
Representation of total energy released or absorbed by a system
Specific heat capacity
When heat capacity is given per gram of substance
Molar heat capacity
When heat capacity is given per mole of substance
Sublimination
When a material goes from solid to gas without going through the liquid state (endothermic - energy required to break intermolecular bonds)
Deposition
When a material goes from gas to solid without going through the liquid state (exothermic - energy released as intermolecular bonds form)
Ionic bonds
Attraction between oppositely charged ions
Covalent bonds
Attraction between two nonmetals and results when two atoms share electrons
Octet rule
States atoms are stabilized by 8 electrons in their valence level
Expanding octet
A bonding arrangement in which an atom has 10 or 12 valence electrons. This is ONLY possible with elements in rows 3-7 on periodic table
