Chapter 6 Flashcards
(10 cards)
Heat
Energy transferred between 2 object bc of their different temps
Work
Energy required to move an object a given distance
Law of energy conservation
Energy can’t be created or destroyed
Only converted from one form to another
Ex. PE TO KE or chemical energy to heat
Negative E el
More stability
System
Part that’s the focus of thermochemical study
Isolated
Close
Open systems
Isolated-no NRG or matter exchange with surroundings
Closed- exchange NRG not matter
Open- exchange both
Exothermic vs endothermic in terms of q
Exo- q<0
Endo- q>0
Internal energy
All energy KE + PE in the system
Delta E = E final- E initial
Types of molecular motion
Translational
Rotational
Vibrational
Law of conservation of energy in terms of systems and surrounding
Delta E of system = - Delta E of surroundings
Bc if system gains energy the surroundings lose energy and VV
