Thermodynamics Should DIe Flashcards
Total Change in Energy
Delta E = q + w
1 cal =
4.184 J
1 L atm =
101.3 J
1 kW h =
3.60 x 10^6 J
1 kcal =
1 Cal = 1000 cal
Quantifying Heat
q = (m)(Cs)(Delta T)
m = mass (g)
Cs = Specific Heat ( J/ g C)
Delta T = Final temp - Initial Temp (Degrees C)
Quantifying Work
P(ext) = External Pressure (atm)
Delta V = Final Vol. - Initi. Vol. (L)
BOMB Calorimetry
Measuring Delta E (rxn)
q(cal) = C(cal) x Delta T
q(cal) = -q(rxn) = Delta E(rxn)
COFFEE CUP Calorimetry
Measuring Delta H(rxn)
q(soln) = m(soln) x C(s, soln) x
Delta T
IF HEAT NOT LOST:
q(soln) = -q(rxn) = Delta H(rxn)
IF HEAT IS LOST:
q(rxn) = -[q(soln) + q(cal)]
Frequency =
Freq (v) = c / wavelength
Wavelength =
(from momentum)
Wavelength = h /(m x v)
m = mass in KG
v= velocity in m/s
h = Planck’s constant
