the study of energy and its transformations (especially those involving heat)

Answer 8

thermodynamics

Question 9

all the energy transferred between a system and its surroundings must be accounted for as either heat or work

Answer 9

first law of thermodynamics

Question 10

the portion of the universe we single out for study

Answer 10

system

Question 11

the principle, is the rest of the universe

Answer 11

Answer 22

calorimetry experiment

Question 23

open to atmosphere

Answer 23

coffee cup calorimeter

Question 24

heat transferred at constant pressure

Answer 24

enthalpy

Question 25

change in state of matter

Answer 25

phase change

Question 26

increase the size of the molecular motions and put energy into the sample to increase the size of the molecular motions

Answer 26

going from a solid to a liquid AND going from a liquid to a gas

Question 27

to reverse the process

Answer 27

decrease the size of molecular motions and take energy out of the sample

Question 28

all the energy transferred between a system and its surroundings must be accounted for as either heat or work

Answer 28

first law of thermodynamics

Question 29

indicates that something depends only on the initial state of the system and the final state of the system

Answer 29

state functions

Question 30

only depends on where we started and where we finished (does NOT depend on the path between where we started and where we finished)

Answer 30

state functions

Question 31

T or F work is a state function

Answer 31

FALSE; work= forceXdistance

determine the enthalpy change for a reaction when it may be experimentally difficult to do so

Answer 32

hess's law
