General Chemistry 2 Flashcards
The study Of energy or heat Flow that accompanies a chemical reaction and/or physical transformation
THERMOCHEMISTRY
a Form Of energy transfer between two objects as a result of their difference in temperature
HEAT
the part of the universe being studied or to which attention Is Focused
SYSTEM
include everything else in the universe
SURROUNDING
Heat is represented by this letter
q
heat flows From a system to its surroundings; - q
EXOTHERMIC
system absorbs heat From surroundings; +q
ENDOTHERMIC
a branch of thermodynamics, which deals with the interconversion of energy between two forms: heat & work
THERMOCHEMISTRY
States that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, It can only be transferred between the system and surroundings
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Based on the first law of thermodynamics, the equation on the change in energy Of a system
E = q + w
q = heat absorbed, w = work done
Involves the measurement of the quantity of heat exchanged between a system and its surroundings
CALORIMETRY
measures the Flow of energy (as heat) between the system and its surroundings
CALORIMETRY
The amount of heat absorbed or released by the system is a function of its change in temperature
q = C∆t
q = heat (J)
∆t = change in temp. (°C)
Proportionality constant that shows the relationship between heat and temp. change. Also the amount of energy needed to raise the temp. of a substance by 1°C. (J/°C)
Heat Capacity (C)
Heat Capacity is equal to the product of its _____ and _____.
mass (m), specific heat (c)
C = mc
