Unit 3 Flashcards
What is energy
The capacity to do work or produce heat
Where is potential energy stored
stored in bonds
What is thermal energy
total amount of kinetic energy in a system measured in joules
What is heat and its symbol
thermal energy transferred between two systems symbol is q
What is heat capacity and its symbol
amount of heating necessary to change the temperature of an object (depends on the amount of stuff) symbol is C
What is specific heat and its symbol
heat capacity per gram symbol is c
What is enthalpy and its symbol
thermal energy absorbed or released by a system that is free to do work symbol is H
What is enthalpy when the rxn is exothermic and endothermic
negative for exothermic and positive for endothermic
What is a stipulation of the enthalpy of formation
element being calculated needs to be only one mol so others might be in fractions
What is the standard enthalpy of formation of elements in their natural state
zero
What is bond energy and its symbol
the energy required to break a bond symbol is D
What type of bonds are usually shorter
Stonger bonds
What types of bonds are stonger
triple bonds then double then single
What is lattice energy and its symbol
e required to pull ions apart symbol is delta H sub latt
What is entropy and its symbol
disorder within a system symbol is s
