Unit 5 Flashcards
Heat of formation formula
ΔH° = Sum of ΔHf°(products) - Sum of ΔHf°(reactants)
calorimetry formula
for solids, liquids, gases
q = mcΔT
t = final temp-initial temp
c = specific heat capacity, divide by 1000 to convert j to kj
calorimetry formula
for melt
q= nHfus
n = no. of moles, Hfus = given value
calorimetry formula
for vaporization
q= nHvap
n= no. of moles, Hvap = given value
bond energy formula
ΔH = ∑H(bonds broken) - ∑H(bonds formed)
Internal Energy, E
sum of kinetic and potential energies of all “particles” in a system
Potential energy
energy of position
Kinetic energy
energy of motion
Temperature
a measure of the random motions of the atoms or molecules of a substance
Temp. (in kelvin) relationship to KE
directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the molecules or atoms
Heat
a flow of energy between two objects due to a temperature difference between the objects; the way in which thermal energy is transferred
First law of thermodynamics
energy in the universe is constant; energy (heat) cannot be created nor destroyed
System
part of the universe on which we focus attention (the products and reactants)
Surroundings
everything else in the universe
Exothermic
Energy is being released by the system (change in heat is neg.)
Endothermic
Energy is being absorbed by the system (change in heat is pos.)
Heat of formation
the energy that accompanies the formation of one mole of a substance at STP(25°C); values for some elements and compounds are given
Standard temperature for thermodynamics
25°C
Heat of formation for element in its natural state
ZERO
Specific heat capacity (c)
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C (given value)
ΔT
Tfinal-Tinitial
Why doesn’t temp. increase on plateau parts of graph?
It takes a lot of energy to change a phase, so energy is devoted to the phase change rather than an increase in temperature
Hess’ Law
the change in enthalpy is the same whether the rxn takes place in one step or a series of steps
Entropy (s)
function which keeps track of the tendancy for the components of the universe to become disordered; measure of disorder/randomness/chaos in the universe
