Energy Flashcards
energy
the capacity to do work; involved in changes of matter
endothermic
energy into the system
exothermic
energy out of the system
total energy = ?
energy of system + energy of surroundings
system
reaction being studied
surroundings
everything out side of reaction
types of energy
light, thermal, electrical, mechanical, chemical, etc.
kinetic energy
energy of motion
potential energy
energy of position or stored energy
radiant
energy of sun
heat
energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
temperature
measure of the average kinetic energy of random motion of particles in a substance
specific heat
the quantity of energy (as heat) required to raise a unit of mass 1 K of 1 degree Celsius
equation of specific heat
cp = q / (m × ΔT)
cp
specific heat
