Thermochemistry Quiz 1 Flashcards
what state is vibrational motion mostly present in
solid
define translational motion
a type of straight line motion where all points of a body move uniformly in a singe direction and only change direction when collisions occur
whats the first law of thermodynamics also known as
the law of conservation of energy
state change term for solid to liquid
melting or fusion
state change term for gas to solid
deposition
define exothermic change
a change that releases energy and causes warming up of the surroundings
what type of energy is intramolecular force and intermolecular force
potential
define enthalpy
the total potential energy within a system at constant pressure, specifically of chemical changes or reactions
define matter
anything that has mass and occupies space
is energy absorbed or released when changing from a liquid to a solid
released
what type of energy vibrational motion, rotational motion and translational motion
kinetic
is energy absorbed or released when changing from a liquid to gas
absorbed
what is the first law of thrermodynamics
energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred form one place to another or changed from one type to another
define calorimetry
the study and process of measuring the quantities of energy involved in changes within an isolated system
what does (delta)H stand for and what are its units
change in enthalpy measured in J or kJ
state change term for solid to gas
sublimation
what does Q stand for and what are its units
thermal or heart, measured in J or kJ
define heat/thermal energy
the total of the kinetic energy of all the particles in a sample of matter
is energy absorbed or released when changing from a gas to a liquid
released
define temperature
the average of the kinetic energy of particles in a sample of matter
