Section 6.1- Energy Flashcards
all chemical reactions involve ___________ changes
energy
chemical reactions involve a reshuffling of atoms held together by forces that form
chemical bonds
the study of the flow of energy
thermodynamics
the area of chemistry that deals with applying thermodynamic principles to energy changes in chemical reactions
chemical thermodynamics
difficult to clearly define but is often considered the ability to do work
energy
one of the most fundamental scientific principles which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
law of conservation of energy
is energy associated with motion
kinetic energy
is energy associated with the position of an object relative to a force upon it
potential energy
symbol for internal energy
E
change in
triangle symbol
heat
Q
work
W
joule
J
enthalpy
H
