Gases and Work Flashcards
Pressure
W = Pressure/Area (P/A)
SI units for volume
m^3
1 m^3 = _____L
1000L
Work (W) cylinder
P x Delta Volume (Vfinal - V initial)
Calculating work, WORK DONE is always reported in
Joules
Ventilator doing work for the body, operating at a constant pressure of 600Pa is used to increases the volume of air in the lungs by 00ml
W= 0.300 J
What is a calorie defined as
The energy necessary to raise 1 g of water 1 degree Celsius
Food calories are _______ written as a “capitalized
C
1 Calorie = _______Joules
4.184 Joules
1 Kilocalories = ____Joules
4184 J
Kinetic energy is
the energy a mass has by virtue of being in motion
Formula for KE =
1/2 m x v^2
v^2
sq.root of 2KE/m
Potential Energy is stored by
virtue of position
NOT IMPORTANT Potential energy (PE) =
mgh
Internal Energy
The sum of all the kinetic and potential energies in particles in a system
Internal energy represented by letter
“U”
Thermodynamics, definition
4 laws, cite
Study of how energy is converted from one form to another and how it flows in and out of as system
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
if 2 system are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other
First law of thermodynamics:
Change in U = Q + W
The change in internal energy of a system equals the sum of heat (Q) flowing in or out of the system; and the work done by or on the system
change U = Q-W (change U = heat- work)
When W is positive = (Q enters +)
When W is negative = (Q leaves gas -)
the system is absorbing energy or heat
the system is releasing energy or heat
Compressing a gas gives the gas molecules _________
energy since they are at a higher pressure than the surrounding atmosphere.
potential energy
How to add internal energy in a gas
Heat
Change in volume (compression –>exerting a force on a distance)
Work done by the gas is
Work done on the gas = work done by the gas
W is (definition)
joules of work energy done by or on the system
If Q > 0, process is endothermic: heat flows into system ___
[+Q]
If Q < 0, process is exothermic: heat flows out of system
[-Q]
