we define the ___ as the material or process within which we are studying the energy changes within
system
we define the ____ as everything else with which the system can exchange energy
surroundings
a ____ is the amount of energy needed to move 1kg mass a distance of 1 meter
joule (J)
A _____ is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water 1C
calorie (cal)
kcal =
energy needed to raise 1000g of water 1C, Calories = kcal
____ is the study of energy and its interconversions
thermodynamics
the ___ energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles that compose the system
internal
the change in the internal energy of a system only depends on…
the amount of energy in the system at the beginning and end
A ___ function is a mathematical function whose result only depends on the initial and final conditions not on the process used
state
when energy flows out of a system, change in energy in the system is ___
negative
when energy flows into the surroundings, change in energy in the surroundings is ___
positive
when energy flows into a system, change in energy in the system is ___
positive
when energy flows out of the surroundings, change in energy of the surroundings is ____
negative
energy is exchanged between the system and its surroundings through ___ and ___
heat; work
q and w are NOT state functions, their value depends on the process. change in energy =
q + w (heat plus work)
the heat capacity of an object is proportional to the following:
the mass, the specific heat of the material
q =
mass (g) x specific heat capacity x temperature change (C)
measure of a substance’s intrinsic ability to absorb heat
specific heat capacity - the amount of heat energy required to riase the temperature of one gram of a substance 1C
