THERMODYNAMICS Flashcards
is a branch of science that deals with the study of energy and its transformations
thermodynamics
it came from the greek word “thermes” which means heat and “dynamo” which means power.
thermodynamics
is a branch of chemistry that describes the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction.
thermochemistry
is a well defined part of the universe where thermodynamic processes takes place
system
refers to everything outside that is cose contact with the system
surroundings
is a closed surface surrounding a system
boundary
is the system plus the surroundings
universe
what are the three classifications of system?
open system
closed system
isolated system
is a system wherein there is an exchange of energy with the surroundings
open system
is a system wherein there is an exchange of matter with the surroundings but matter is unable to pass across the boundary
closed system
is a system wherein there is no exchange of matter and energy with the surroundings
isolated system
2 types of reactions
endothermic reaction and exothermic reaction
is a reaction that the system absorbs hear or heat flows into the system from its surroundings
endothermic reaction
is a reaction that releases heat from the system or heat flows out of the system into the surroundings
exothermic reaction
if the heat is ADDED/ABSORBED to the system and work is done ON the system, what happens to internal energy?
