Test 3 Formulas, units and symbols Flashcards
Formula: KE avg =
KEavg = 1/2m(Urms)^2 m = mass of the object in kg Urms = root-mean-square-speed of a gas KEavg = average Kinetic energy
Formula: Urms =
Urms = sqrt((3RT)/M) Urms = root-mean-square-speed of a gas sqrt = square root R = Universal gas constant T = Temperature of gas, Kelvin M = molar mass of the gas, ( kg/mol )
Units: Urms
m/s, meters per second
Units: R
8.314 J / mol*K
Kinetic molecular theory states
at any given temperature, a population of gas particles has the same average kinetic energy
Root-Mean-Square_Speed is
The speed of a gas molecule possessing the average kinetic energy
Effusion is the
process by which gas molecules escape through a small hole
Formula: Graham’s Law
Rate1 / Rate2 = sqrt(M2 / M1)
Rate = Urms
M = molar mass of the gas, ( kg/mol )
Formula: First law of thermodynamics
dEsys = -dEsurr dE = Change of energy
Formula: dEsys =
dEsys = q + w q = dHeat w = work
Formula: w =
w = -PdV w = work, under conditions of constant pressure P = pressure dV = change in volume
-qlost = qgained, is used in
Calorimetry
Calorimetry is the
science associated with determining the heat transfer during chemical reactions or physical changes
Formula: Heat capacity =
qcal = C*dT qcal = J C = Heat capacity, J / degC dT = Change in temperature
Formula: Molar heat capacity =
qmol = n*Cp*dT gmol = J n = number of moles Cp = molar heat capacity, J / mol * degC dT = Change in temperature
Formula: specific heat capacity =
qgram = m*S*dT qgram = J S = specific heat capacity, J / g*degC m = mass in grams dT = Change in temperature
Formula: dH*rxn =
dH*rxn = Sum (dH*fproducts) - Sum (dH*freactants) dH*rxn = Standard enthalpy change dH*f = Standard enthalpy of formation
Heat capacity (C)is
the amount of energy requried to raise the temperature of an entire object by 1 degC
