Chapter 5-thermochemistry Flashcards
(21 cards)
law of conservation of energy
energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only changed in form
work
energy used to cause an object to mover against a force
energy
ability to do work
heat
most important energy form, causes temp increase
thermodynamics
the study of heat
thermochemistry
energy chnages that accompany physical/chemical properties
kinetic energy
KE=1/2mv^2
potentional energy
positon
internal energy
PE+KE in a system
1 joule =
1 kg m^2/sec^2
1 calorie
4.184 joules
1 joule =
9.48 x 10^-4 BTU
1 electron volt
3,8 x 10 ^-20 cal
specific heat
physical propery, intensive
amount of heat required to raise the temp of 1 g of a substance 1 degree C
heat capacity
physical property, extensive, changes with sample size
overall effect of heat ont he temp of a substance, thermal capacity of the whole
heat
q
given off, exothermic (-)
absorbed, endothermic (+)
see chart in notes
calorimetry
the change in temp caused by a rxn combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system make it possible to determine the dH of a rxn experimentally
calorimeter
vessel for determing dH of a rxn
enthalpy
heat content state function, determined by dH
H final-H initail
if value is negative, exothermic
if positive, endothermic
hess’s law
for any rxn that can be expresssed as the sum of 2 or more rxns, the heat of rxn (dH) is a result of the algebraic sums of the rxn
