Predicting Pharmaceutical stability Flashcards
what is thermodynamics?
energy and its transfer
allows for prediction of physical instabilities
allows to predict if chemical reactions will happen
what are the four law of thermodynamics?
the zeroth law: concept of temperature
first law:conservation of energy
second law:entropy principle
third law:absolute zero temperature
energy unit?
joules
what is potential energy
due to position
what is kinetic energy?
due to motion
what is bulk theory?
doesn’t consider molecular nature of matter
what is a system?
part of universe chosen to consider
what are surroundings?
everything else around the system
open system?
matter and energy can cross the boundary between system and surrounding
heat and matter can escape
closed system?
no matter can transfer through boundary
only heat can escape
isolated system?
no matter or energy transfer or heat
no heat and no matter can escape
what is work?
‘transfer of energy from one system to another moving its point of application in its own direction’
ordered movement of atoms
what is heat?
transfer of energy due to difference in temperature
disordered or chaotic movement of atoms
what are heat and work?
energy that’s in the process of being transferred
heat and work not stored they’re done on or done by matter
what is the zeroth law?
if A and B are in thermal equilibrium and B and C are in thermal equilibrium then A and C are equal to each other.
what are the movement of particles when heated like?
inter and intra molecular vibrations
trans and rotational motions
what is equation of work?
- opposing force * distance
what is Patm?
expansion of gas under constant external pressure
what is the quantity of q if energy is absorbed by the system?
positive +
what is the quantity of q if energy is evolved by the system?
negative -
what is the quantity of w when work is done on the system (compression)?
positive +
what is the quantity of w when work is done by the system (expansion)?
negative -
what is internal energy?
energy in a system
what is the first law of thermodynamics?
q + w = change in internal energy
