Exam 1 material Flashcards
whats the study of the relationship between chemistry and energy
thermochemistry
what is the capacity to do work (object possesses)
energy
what is the result of a force acting through a distance (way objects transfer energy)
work (w)
what is the flow of energy caused by a temperature difference (way objects transfer energy)
heat (q)
energy associated with temperature of an object, type of KE
thermal energy
energy associated with position or composition
potential energy
energy associated with relative positions of e- and nuclei in atoms and molecules, form of PE
chemical energy
whats the first law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be created nor destroyed
what is a portion of the universe singles out for investigation
system
what is everything that the system can exchange energy with
surroundings
what is energy transferred between
a system and the surroundings
what is the general study of energy and its inter-conversations
thermodynamics
what is the first law of thermodynamics
the total energy of the universe is constant, the energy content does not change, you can only break even
what is the sum of KE and PE of all particles that compose the system
internal energy (E)
what is a state function
a function where the value depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system arrived at the state
if energy leaves a system, where does it flow to
the surroundings
Is the energy of the system positive or negative when the reactants have higher energy than the products? Is this endo or exothermic?
Esys is negative, making it exothermic
what is a measure of thermal energy
temperature
what is a transfer of thermal energy
heat
what is happening when there is no additional net transfer of heat taking place
thermal equilibrium
what is the quantity of heat required to change temperature by 1 C? Is it an intensive or extensive property?
heat capacity, extensive
what is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 C (J/gC), Is it an intensive or extensive property?
specific heat capacity, intensive
what is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1 C (J/gC), Is it an intensive or extensive property?
molar heat capacity, intensive
does water have a high or low specific heat
high
thermal energy flows from _____ to _____
hot to cold
what is calculated work associated with an observed volume change
pressure-volume work
what measures the thermal energy the reaction and the surroundings exchange by by observing the change in temperature of surroundings
calorimetry
what is a piece of equipment designed to measure change in energy for combustion reactions in a sealed container
bomb calorimeter
what is the sum of internal energy plus the product of pressure and volume
enthalpy (H)
what is a measure of only heat exchanged under conditions of constant pressure
change in enthalpy
4 characteristics of endothermic reaction
absorbs heat from surroundings
positive change in enthalpy
energy flows into the system
raises potential energy
4 characteristics of exothermic reaction
gives heat to surroundings
negative change in enthalpy
energy released from the system
lowers potential energy
what are the amount of energy needed to break, or the amount of energy emitted when broken, from bonds when broken or formed
bond energy
in an exothermic reaction ____ bonds break and _____ bonds form
weak, strong
