exam 4 Flashcards
(45 cards)
surroundings
Everything outside the system
system
the part of the universe you’re studying
heat (q)
flow of energy caused by a temp difference
energy
capacity to do work or transfer heat
work (w)
Energy used to move an object or expand/contract gas
exothermic
releases heat into surroundings (warm to touch)
endothermic
absorbs heat from surroundings (cold to touch)
when is q+
when heat is being absorbed (endothermic)
when is q-
heat being released (exothermic)
when is w+
work is done on the system by surroundings
when is w-
work done on the surroundings by the system
change in energy (ΔU) formula
ΔU=q+w
first law of thermodynamics and formula
energy can’t be created or destroyed
ΔE=q+w
internal energy (U)
total energy in a system (kinetic+potential)
what unit is used to measure q and w
joules (J)
enthalpy (ΔH) definition and formula
change in heat at a constant pressure
ΔH=q
when is enthalpy (ΔH) -
when heat is being released (exothermic)
when is enthalpy (ΔH) +
when heat is being absorbed
(endothermic)
Thermochemical Equation
A balanced chemical equation that includes energy change (ΔH)
ex: CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O ΔH=−890kJ
Thermal Equilibrium
heat is transferred between system and surroundings until they reach the same temp
Calorimetry
Measurement of heat flow using a calorimeter. (coffee cup)
is heat capacity extensive or intensive
extensive, depends on mass and type of material
formula to find work
w= -(ΔP)xV
specific heat capacity (Cs) definition and formula
Amount of heat to raise 1g of a substance by 1°C.
q=m x Cs x ΔT
