Chemistry Unit #6: Energetics.............................. Test on March 14, 2017 Flashcards
Define Exothermic 3
Is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat
Temperature of reaction increases May be shown as product A + B => C + D + heat
Define Calorimeter
A calorimeter is a device used to measure the heat flow of a chemical reaction or physical change.
Define Standard Enthalpy Change 7
Measures the amount of heat energy transferred under standard conditions
Enthalpy difference between products and reactants under standard conditions
Pressure is @100.0 kPa Temperature is @298 K or 25°C Standard conditions are indicated by ° It can't measure internal energy of substance It can only measure change in heat content It can measure the heat energy transferred for a chemical reaction
Define calorie (Not Calorie)
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 14.5°C to 15.5°C. 1 calorie = 4.184 joules.
Define Activation Energy 2
It is the minimum energy required for reaction to occur
The activation energy is usually represented by the symbol Ea
Define Endothermic 3
Is a chemical reaction that absorbs energy from the surroundings
Temperature of reaction decreases
May be shown as product A + B + heat => C + D
State what a calorimeter is and how it works (including how to adjust the temperature for heat loss) 3-4
A calorimeter can as simple as a Styrofoam container.
Using a thermometer, we can measure the hamount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process from the surroundings of the calorimeter.
To adjust the temperature for heat loss, we extrapolate the maximum temperature and get ∆T by subtracting T(extrapolated) by T(initial).
This means that the amount of heat produced or consumed in the reaction equals the amount of heat absorbed or lost by the solution.
Define Specific Heat Capacity
Is the specific amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1 K or (1°C)
Define Heat 2
Heat is a measure of the total kinetic energy of a substance
The total energy depends on the amount of material present
Define Temperature 2
Measures average kinetic energy of the a substance
Number of particles is unimportant
