Q

potential energy

A

an object that has the ability to move in the future

the energy owned by an object for the reason of its position

For example a yoyo before it is released, a car that is parked at the top of a hill

Sound, heat, and light are not easily classified as this

Q

chemical energy

A

energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds

energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place, and once the energy is released, the substance is transformed into a whole new substance

the energy necessary to keep atoms joined by chemical bonds

Explosives - as explosives go off, chemical energy stored in the explosive is transferred into sound energy

Placing a metal pole outside in the sunlight is not an example of this

Q

specific heat capacity

A

the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree or one Kelvin

this is more specific to size amount compared to heat capacity

Q

thermal equalibrium

A

if we have two objects that are different temperatures connected, eventually they will be the same temperature

when two objects are in contact, heat travels from the warmer object to the colder object until their temperatures are the same

this is when if you connect two bodies by a pipe and no heat will flow between them

for example, if a carton of milk is set on a kitchen countertop, the two objects are in thermal contact. After several hours their temperatures will become the same so they are in thermal equalibrium

Q

what is an equation that calculates quantities of heat

A

q=mc delta t
Q=quantity of heat in joules
m=mass of the substance in grams
c=specfic heat capacity always given the triple J/g times C
delta t= difference in final temperature to the initial temperature in celsius

17
Q

thermochemical equation formula

A

ni/nf=deltaHi/deltaH2

ni= mols given in the equation

nf=mols given in the word problem

H=change in enthalpy

H2=n2 multiplied by H1/n1

18
Q

enthalpy

A

the heat content of a system

every substance involved in a chemical reaction or a physical process has a particular heat content

19
Q

calorimetry

A

used to measure the amount of heat transferred to a form a substance

qsystem=-qsurroundings

heat of the system is always the opposite sign of heat of the surroundings

20
Q

diatomic molecule acronym

A

HONClBrIF

21
Q

Hess’s law

A

the enthalpy change for any reaction depends only on the products and the reactants and is independent of the pathway or the number of steps between the reactant and the product

According to Hess’s law since, we’re adding equations one and two to get equation three, the enthalpy change and the answer is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the equations you’re adding up

key takeaway: using enthalpy change of other reactants to predict the enthalpy change of a new reaction

22
Q

heat calculation steps

A
  1. state what is given, and convert the given variables accordingly keeping in mind that mass is in g, specific heat is in J/g C, the change in temperature is in celsius, q or change in h is in J
  2. use formula q=mc change in t, rearrange the equation if needed and in the numbers
  3. put the answer in scientific notation
23
Q

thermochemical equation steps mols to grams

A

use the chart method

24
Q

thermochemical equation steps mols given

A
  1. underline the element you’re focusing on, then state what is given
  2. use the formula n1/n2=change in h1/change in h2 where n1 is the mols in the equation, n2 is the mols in the word problem, change in h1 is the delta h given, and change in h2 is the quantity you’re trying to find
  3. cross multiply to make it look stoichiometric
  4. round final answer to scientific notation
25
Q

thermochemical equation steps grams to mols

A
  1. state what is given
  2. convert grams to mols by diving the mass by the molar mass using the chart technique, then multiply the delta h given by the mols given in the equation
  3. round final answer in scientific notation
26
Q

formation of magnesium oxide reaction progress

A

the reactants are more than the products

27
Q

simple decomposition of liquid water reaction progress

A

the products are less than the reactants

28
Q

molar heat

A

the temperature of one mole of a substance by one Celsius degree or one kelvin’

molar heat capacity=specific capacity multiplied by molar mass

29
Q

calorimeter

A

a tool used the measure the enthalpy change of a chemical or physical reaction

it works by insulating a system from its surroundings. by measuring the temperature change of the system, you can measure the amount of heat that is released or absorbed by the reaction
