Thermochemistry Flashcards
work
using energy to move things
heat
using energy to change temperature
thermal work
-P (change in V)
First Law of thermo
change in energy= Efinal-Einitial
change in energy=
q + w = heat + -P(change in V)
endothermic
absorbs heat
exothermic
releases heat
enthalpy
heat flow that occurs when thermal work occurs
enthalpy=
change in H = q = change in E + thermal work
enthalpy of a chemical reaction=
Eproducts- Ereactants
finding the enthalpy of reaction given masses
it is proportional to the amount of reactant consumed. if two moles of C react and the enthalpy of the reactions is -120; if one mole of C reacts, the enthalpy of the reaction is -60
heat capacity
the heat required to raise a substance 1 Kelvin
specific heat
= q/mchange in T= heat transferred/(masschange in T); heat capacity of one gram
heat of a solution=
specific heat of the solution * grams solution * change in T
heat of solution vs reaction
the heat of one has the opposite sign of the heat of the other
