Kaplan Gen Chem Contd Flashcards
…: the matter that is being observed –> total amount of reactants and products in a chemical rxn
system
…/..: everything outside of the system
surroundings; environment
systems can be characterized by whether or not they can exchange heat or matter with the surroundings
…: can’t exchange heat/matter with the surroundings
…: system can exchange energy but not matter with the surroundings
…: system can exchange both energy and matter with the surroundings
isolated; closed; open
…: when a system experiences a change in one or more of its properties
associated with a change of the … of a system
some are identified by some property that is … throughout the process
process; state; constant
first law of thermo
change in internal energy of the system = …
Q (heat added); W (work done)
… processes: occur when the system’s temp is constant
constant temp implies that the … is constant throughout the process –> temp and … are directly proportional
isothermal; total internal energy; internal energy
isothermal processes appear as a … on a pressure - volume graph –> … is the area under this curve
hyperbolic curve; work
… processes: no heat is exchanged between the system and the environment –> … of the system is constant throughout the process
adiabatic;
thermal energy
adiabatic processes:
simplifies first law to: …
also … on the P-V graph
delta U = - W;
hyperbolic curve
… processes: occur when the pressure of the system is constant
doesnt alter the first law
appears as a … on a P-V graph
isobaric; flat line
isothermal and isobaric processes are common bc it is usually easy to control … and …
temperature; pressure
… (…) processes: no change in volume –> no … is performed bc the gas neither expands nor compresses
isovolumetric; isochoric; work
(isovolumetric processes) first law simplifies to …
… on a P-V graph
delta U = Q (change in internal energy is equal to the heat added to the system)
vertical line
… process: one that can occur by itself without having to be driven by energy from an outside source
will not necessarily happen quickly and may not go to completion
spontaneous
spontaneous processes:
many have very high … and rarely take place
… selectively enhance the rate of certain spontaneous, slow chemical rxns
activation energies;
enzymes
spontaneous processes:
many spontaneous rxns reach … with dynamically stable concs of reactants and products
common method for supplying energy for nonspontaneous rxns by … nonspontaneous rxns to spontaneous ones
equilibrium;
coupling
…: macroscopic properties that describe the system in an equilibrium state
state functions
state functions cannot describe the … –> how the system got to its current equilibrium
useful for comparing one … state to another
process;
equilibrium
state functions:
pathway taken from one equilibrium state to another is described quantitatively by the … functions: most important are … and …
process;
work;
heat
state functions include: ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ...
pressure; density; temperature; volume; enthalpy; internal energy; Gibbs free energy; entropy
while state functions are independent of the …, they aren’t necessarily independent of one another
processes
because systems can be in different equilibrium states at different temperatures and pressures, a set of standard conditions has been defined for measuring enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy changes of a rxn:
… (… degrees C), … pressure, and … concentrations
298 K; 25;
1 atm;
1 M
standard conditions are NOT standard temperature and pressure, for which the temp is … (… degrees C)
standard conditions are for …, …, and …
STP is for … calculations
273 K; 0;
kinetics; equilibrium; thermodynamics;
ideal gas;
under standard conditions, the most stable form of a substance is called the … of that substance:
standard enthalpy, standard entropy, and standard free energy
standard state
