H Chemistry: Unit 6 Flashcards
stoichiometry
quantitative relationship amongst reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation
limiting reagent
reactant that determines the amount of product made(theoretical yield)
excess reactant
reactant that will be left over after the reaction has gone to completion
percent yield
actual yield/theoretical yield x 100
energy
E; ability to do work or produce heat
2 basic forms of energy
potential energy & kinetic energy
potential energy
energy stored in an object based in its position or chemical composition
kinetic energy
energy of motion
1st Law of Thermodynamics
states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another
chemical potential energy
energy stored in chemical compounds that can be released during chemical reactions
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
entropy increases in a closed system
entropy
s; energy that cannot be harnessed to do work; chaos
enthalpy
h; heat content of a system
heat
q; transfer of energy from warmer objects to cooler ones
temperature
average kinetic energy of particles at a given time
