Experiment 2: Calorimetry Flashcards
is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at the different temperature
heat
is the study of heat changes in chemical reactions
thermochemistry
- heat from the surrounding
- temperature of the surrounding decreases
- system becomes hotter
endothermic process
- release heat to the surrounding area
- temperature of the surrounding increases
- system becomes colder
exothermic process
the part of the universe on which attention is focused
system
the rest of the universe
surroundings
the substance under study in which a change occurs
system
everything else in the vicinity
surrounding
can exchange mass and heat with the surroundings in the form of heat
open system
only transfer of oenergy, not mass
closed system
water in an insulated container, no transfer of mass or energy
isolated system
science of measuring heat based on the change in temperature of an observed body when it releases and or absorbs heat
calorimetry
is a device used to measure the heat flow of a reaction
