UNIT SEVEN Flashcards
thermodynamics
every chemical reaction accounted for by change in energy
thermochemistry
study of changes in heat energy that accompany chemical reactions and physical changes
heat
total of kinetic energies of particles in sample of matter
temperature
measure of average kinetic energy of particles in sample of matter (measured in joules, (kg/m^2)/s^2
heat transfer
when collisions between particles result in transfer of energy
thermodynamic equilibrium
average kinetic energy and temperature is the same
calorimetry
study of the transfer of heat
calorimeter
device that measures heat absorbed/released in chemical/physical change
3 processes of changing energy
- Heating/cooling
- Phase transitions
- Chemical reactions
heat of reaction
quantity of heat released/absorbed during chemical reaction
q=mCpAT
specific heat (Cp)
amount of energy required to raise temperature of 1 g by 1C
bond enthalpies
bonds formed/broken during reaction cause change in system potential energy; average energy needed to break all bonds estimated by adding average bond energies of all bonds in reactants (reactants-products)
Hess’s Law
overall enthalpy change in reaction equal to sum of enthalpy changes for individual steps
endothermic
when energy of system increases; energy gained from surroundings
exothermic
when energy of systems decreased; energy lost gained by surroundings
