Thermochemistry Flashcards
- study of the heat relate to chemical reactions or physical transformation
- reaction may release or absorb energy, and a phase change may do the same
thermochemistry
the part of the universe on which attention is focused
thermodynamic system
everything else in the vicinity
thermodynamic surroundings
the system across the boundary of which transfer both mass as well as energy can take place across the boundary and can exchange mass and heat with surroundings
open system
the system of fixed mas across the boundary of which no mass transfer can take place only transfer for energy, not mass
closed system
both the mass as well as the energy content remains constant, no transfer of mas and energy
isolated system
chemical equation that includes the amount of energy, in the form of heat that is transferred in the reaction
thermochemical equation
used to determine the standard enthalpy change or enthalpy of reaction or heat of reaction for a given thermochemical equation
standard heat of formation
