Exam 1 material Flashcards
(85 cards)
whats the study of the relationship between chemistry and energy
thermochemistry
what is the capacity to do work (object possesses)
energy
what is the result of a force acting through a distance (way objects transfer energy)
work (w)
what is the flow of energy caused by a temperature difference (way objects transfer energy)
heat (q)
energy associated with temperature of an object, type of KE
thermal energy
energy associated with position or composition
potential energy
energy associated with relative positions of e- and nuclei in atoms and molecules, form of PE
chemical energy
whats the first law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be created nor destroyed
what is a portion of the universe singles out for investigation
system
what is everything that the system can exchange energy with
surroundings
what is energy transferred between
a system and the surroundings
what is the general study of energy and its inter-conversations
thermodynamics
what is the first law of thermodynamics
the total energy of the universe is constant, the energy content does not change, you can only break even
what is the sum of KE and PE of all particles that compose the system
internal energy (E)
what is a state function
a function where the value depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system arrived at the state
if energy leaves a system, where does it flow to
the surroundings
Is the energy of the system positive or negative when the reactants have higher energy than the products? Is this endo or exothermic?
Esys is negative, making it exothermic
what is a measure of thermal energy
temperature
what is a transfer of thermal energy
heat
what is happening when there is no additional net transfer of heat taking place
thermal equilibrium
what is the quantity of heat required to change temperature by 1 C? Is it an intensive or extensive property?
heat capacity, extensive
what is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 C (J/gC), Is it an intensive or extensive property?
specific heat capacity, intensive
what is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1 C (J/gC), Is it an intensive or extensive property?
molar heat capacity, intensive
does water have a high or low specific heat
high
