week 12 Flashcards
first law of thermodynamics
energy cannot be created nor destroyed
thermal energy
kinetic energy associated with random motion of atoms and molecules
temperature
quantitative measurement of “hot” or “cold”
rel’p between thermal energy and temp in matter
proportional
substances ____ as temp decreases and ________ as temp increases
contract, expand
what does q represent
heat
define heat
transfer of thermal energy between 2 bodies at dif temps
(heat flow continues until equilibrium when 2 bodies remain in contact)
calorie
amount of energy required to raise one gram of water by 1 degree celsius
Calorie
1000 calories (kcal)
cal to joule
1 cal = 4.184J
what is a joule
SI unit of heat, work, and energy
amount of energy used when a force of 1 newton (N) moves an object 1m
heat capacity
amount of heat (q) absorbed or released when deltaT changes by 1 degree C
is heat capacity extensive or intensive
extensive - depends on amount. also intensive bc depends on material
heat capacity symbol
C
C =
C = q/deltat
Specific heat capacity
amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1C
intensive property
specific heat capacity symbol
c
c =
c = q/m*deltat
q =
q = mc(deltat)
