thermochemistry Flashcards
concerned with heat changes that occur during chemical reactions
thermochemistry
the science of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy
thermodynamics
-the capacity of doing work or supplying heat
-weightless, odorless, tasteless
-if within the chemical substances, it is called chemical potential energy
energy
characteristics of energy
weightless, odorless, tasteless
if within the chemical substances, energy is called what
chemical potential energy
Three Broad concepts of energy
kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy
energy associated with an object by virtue of its motion
kinetic energy
energy an object has by virtue of its position in a field of force
potential energy
the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles making up a substance
internal energy
states that in any chemical or physical process, energy is neither created nor destroyed
Law of Conservation of Energy
all the ___ is accounted for as work, stored energy, or heat
energy
All the energy is accounted for as what
work, stored energy, heat
the total energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy, potential energy, and internal energy
U
represented by q, is energy that transfers from one object to another because of a temperature difference between them
heat
only changes can be detected
heat
flows from warmer to cooler objects
heat
in studying heat changes, think of defining these 2 parts
The system, the surroundings
