Things you need to know FOR the final Flashcards
What is thermochemistry?
The study of Enthalpy(head) changes om a chemical reaction that walways involves a system + surroundings to create.
What are the types of systems?
Open, Closed and Isolated
Temperature in thermochem?
Celcius or Kelvins
What happens in an Open System?
Mass and energy are exchanged
What is enthalpy?
Heat flow measured under conditions of constant
What happens in an Isolated System?
Neither are exchanged
What happens in a Closed System?
Only energy is exchanged
What are thermochem units?
Temperature, Heat, Enthalpy
Heat in thermochem?
is Q and is in Joules/ Kilojoules
Enthalpy in thermochem?
Is H and is also in Joules/ Kilojoules
What is a spontaneous process?
A process that occurs in a system left to itself. It does not mean that it is fast.
1st law of energy flow is?
When energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created/destroyed (ice to water, water to gas)
What do downhill reactions mean?
Exothermic, it is giving off heat and causing the temp to go up
What do uphill reactions mean?
Endothermic, is absorbing heat and is causing the temp to go down
2nd law of energy flow is?
Explains why chem reactions who in a certain direction. It is based on entropy
Whats more spontaneous, gas or liquid?
Gas
Whats more spontaneous, solid or liquid?
liquid
Whats more spontaneous, gas or solid?
gas
How to calculate ΔS of rxn?
Products - Reactants
What is the second law of Entropy?
The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process.
Equilibrium in entropy?
ΔSuniv = ΔSsys +ΔSsurr = 0
