Thermal Chemistry Flashcards
exothermic
releasing heat
- surroundings heat up
- negative heat charge
endothermic
absorbs heat
- surroundings cool down
- positive heat charge
flat areas
melting/boiling
rising areas
heating up H2O
heat
always added, related to temperature and phase change
q=mcp∆T
heating liquid
q in q=mcp∆T
thermal energy (joules)
m in q=mcp∆T
mass (grams)
cp in q=mcp∆T
specific heat
- a constant hat varies from substance to substance
- joules per grams-kelvin (J/g˚C)
- the amount of energy required to raise 1g of a substance by 1 degrees celsius
∆T in q=mcp∆T
change in temperature (kelvin or celsius)
specific heat for identifying unknowns
- putting an unknown object in water allows heat to flow between the unknown and the water
- thermal equilibrium is reached when temperature becomes the same
(Tf) same for both water & object
- amount of heat gained/lost by the water is equal to the amount of heat lost/gained by unknown
calorimetry
measurement of heat changes for physical and chemical processes
calorimeter
measure the amount of heat absorbed or released
Q=n*∆H fus
n = number of particles in moles
∆H fus = heat of fusion -> solid to liquid, positive, heat in
Q=n*∆H vap
n = number of particles in moles
∆H vap= heat of vaporation -> liquid to gas, positive, heat in
∆H values are given in either
Joules per mol (J/mol) or kilojoules per mole (kilo/Joules)
when a substance changes phase
there Is a heat value of the change in state for each substance
when you go up the heating curve (solid -> liquid -> gas)
endothermic, heat is positive
when you go down the heating curve (gas -> liquid -> solid)
exothermic, heat is negative
fus and solid
∆H fus = - ∆H solid
vap and cond
∆H vap = - ∆H cond
