TOPIC 11- THERMOCHEMISTRY Flashcards
is the capacity to do work or produce heat.
Energy
states that energy can be
converted to another form but can be neither created nor destroyed.
Law of Conservation of Energy
The total energy content of the universe is
Constant
What are the classifications of energy?
- Potential Energy
- Kinetic Energy
is due to position or composition and can also be a
result of attractive and repulsive forces.
Potential Energy
is due to the motion of an object and depends on the
mass and velocity of the object.
Kinetic Energy
is the part of the universe that is the current point of focus.
system
include everything else in the universe.
Surroundings
are reactions in which heat is expended and
flows out of the system.
negative
Exothermic Reactions
are reactions in which heat is absorbed and
flows into the system.
Endothermic Reactions
If two reactants at the same temperature are mixed and the resulting
solution gets warmer, this means the reaction taking place
exothermic
endothermic reaction ____ the solution.
cools
What are the types of systems?
- Open System
- Closed System
- Isolated System
allows both matter and energy (heat) to be exchanged
between the system and surrounding.
Open System
only allows energy (heat) to be exchanged between
the system and surrounding.
Closed System
does not allow both matter and energy (heat) to be
exchanged between the system and surrounding.**
Isolated System
of a system is the sum of the kinetic and potential
energies of all “particles” in the system.
can be changed by a flow of work,
heat, or both.
Internal Energy (E)
is often called the first law of
thermodynamics and proposes that the energy of the universe is
constant.
Law of Conservation of Energy
What are the two ways which a system can change its internal energy?
- Losing some energy to the sorroundings
- Gaining some energy to the surroundings
When losing some energy to the surroundings, what happens to the △E and energy?
△E is negative and energy leaves the system. Therefore, it is exothermic.
