(38 cards)
transfer of thermal energy
b) Heat
study of heat flow that accompanies chemical reactions
Thermochemistry
measurement of heat
Temperature
energy contained within a system
thermal enerfy
Center of the universe
system
Rest of the universe outside the system
surroundings
exchange of both heat and mass with surroundings
Open system
exchange of HEAT only with surroundings
closed system
allows NEITHER energy nor mass to exchange with surroundings
isolated system
heat flows from SURROUNDING into the SYSTEM
Endothermic process
heat flows from SYSTEM into SURROUNDING
Exothermic process
Chemistry of heat measurement
Calorimetry
calorimeter
shows heat associated in a chemical reaction, closed-isolated container
heat of combustion is measured in constant-volume bomb calorimeter
Constant-volume calorimetry
measured using simple Styrofoam cu calorimeter, at constant pressure heat change is equal to enthalpy
Constant-pressure calorimetry:
heat is released or lost
exothermic reactions
process absorbed or gained heat
Endothermic reactions
solute is dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
dissolution
reaction of an acid and a base to form salt and water
neutralization
three-dimensional network of atoms, ions, or molecules
Crystal lattice
Perfectly stacked unit cells at molecular level
Macroscopic crystals
composed of oppositely charged ions (Na+ Cl-)
Ionic solid
composed of individual molecules arranged regularly (H2O)
Molecular solid
composed of vast number of atoms covalently bonded together (SiO2)
Network-covalent solid
