Test 1 Ch. 7-8 Flashcards
The study of energy, work, and heat
THERMODYNAMICS
molecules and atoms in a reaction mixture are in constant, random motion
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
molecules and atoms frequently collide with each other
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
Only some collision, those with sufficient energy, will break bonds in molecules.
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
When reactants bonds are broken, new bonds are formed and products result
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
System vs. surroundings = contains the process under study
SYSTEM
System vs. surroundings = the rest of the universe
SURROUNDINGS
Energy of the universe is constant
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
First law of thermodynamics aka
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
The energy required to break the bond is less than the energy released when the bonds are formed
EXOTHERMIC REACTION
The energy required to break the bond is greater than the energy released when the bonds are formed
ENDOTHERMIC REACTION
/\ H. represents heat energy
ENTHALPY
Change in enthalpy will be ____ in Exothermic reactions
NEGATIVE
Change in enthalpy will be ____ in Endothermic reactions
POSITIVE
Most, but not all, ______ reactions are spontaneous
EXOTHERMIC
Most, but not all, ______ reactions are nonspontaneous
ENDOTHERMIC
The universe spontaneously tends towards increasing disorder and randomness
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Measure of randomness of a chemical system
ENTROPY
Highly disordered system the absence of a regular repeating pattern
HIGH ENTROPY
well organized system such as a crystalline structure
LOW ENTROPY
/\ G. represents the combined contribution of the enthalpy and entropy values for a chemical reaction
FREE ENERGY
negative /\ G
ALWAYS SPONTANEOUS
positive /\ G
NEVER SPONTANEOUS
/\ G = ….
/\ H - [ T (kevlin) * /\ S ]
