Q

First law of thermodynamics:

Change in U = Q + W

A

The change in internal energy of a system equals the sum of heat (Q) flowing in or out of the system; and the work done by or on the system
change U = Q-W (change U = heat- work)

W is (definition)
joules of work energy done by or on the system
26
If Q > 0, process is endothermic: heat flows into system ___
[+Q]
27
If Q < 0, process is exothermic: heat flows out of system
[-Q]
28
If W < 0 work done by system on surroundings (expansion) ______
[-W]
29
 If W > 0 work done on system by surroundings (compression) ____
[+W]
30
Second law
Entropy of the university is constantly increasing
31
If there is expansion, the system is doing work, energy is lost from the system so the sign for W is a _____
negative
32
Specific heat *** unimportant
the amount of heat per unit mass required to raised the temperature of something by 1 degree Celsius.
33
Formula of specific Heat (c)
c = Q / m (delta T)
34
This describes the change in velocity in time
Acceleration
35
This equals the product of an applied force times distance
Work
36
These kinds of quantities have both magnitude and direction
Vector
37
An object at rest remains at rest until a force act upon it
Newton's First law
38
This is the ability to do work
Energy
39
The change in position with time is the
Velocity
40
This results from the acceleration of gravity action upon an object's mass
Weight
41
This describes an object's innate tendency to resist acceleration
INERTIA
42
Force divided by area gives
Pressure P= F/A
43
The specific heart of a good insulator should be ______WhY?
Large; less heat loss by the system
44
Work is
Force x distance
45
Define work
Expenditure of energy
46
Define work | Define energy
Expenditure of energy | The ability to do work
47
What is the formula for KE
1/2mv^2
48
The Change in internal energy of a system ( Delta U) is equal to
the sum of the heat processes (Q) that cause energy to flow into/out of the system and the work done by/on the system. Delta U = Q + W
49
What is the endothermic process ? What does the system feels like Hot/cold? (change Q ? 0)
heat flows into the system from the surroundings . The system feels COLD. (change Q >0)
50
What is the exothermic process ? What does the system feels like Hot/cold? (change Q ? 0)
heat flows from the system into the surroundings . The system feels WARM. (change Q < 0)
51
Why does the temperature in the endothermic system drop?
- Heart flows in the system of endothermic process and contributes to the total internal energy of the system. - Energy is necessary for an endothermic reaction to proceed and thus gets consumes in the chemical reaction. As molecules from the surroundings and the system lose KE (because it is being absorbed into the internal energy of the system) They slow down and get cooler. Thus the temperature drops.
52
The average KE of a smile is more closely related to
The heat content of the sample
53
What are the metric units for work?
Joules
54
1 J is ___/___
N/m
55
Work = formula
Force used x Distance moved
56
Work definition
Defined as a measurement of force displacing an object.
57
1 N (kg/m^2)
kg/ m^2
58
To solve a Work problem with weight in Kg?
change to Newton by using w=mg
59
KE =
½ mass x velocity ²
60
KE is expressed as J or _____
(kg/m²/s²)
61
Therefore, we can calculate | the work done by ________
expanding gases.
62
The gas will expand until ______ _____
the pressures are equalized.
63
1J for gas and pressure
Pa x m^3
64
1 C = ______kilocalories ____calories
1 ; 1000
65
When doing a problem, if there is expansion, the system _______. The sign for work of the system should be ______
is doing work and losing energy ; negative | W
66
When the problem stated that "x joules was absorbed, what should be inferred? It is ____ and should be _____
Heat flowed into the system (endothermic) | Q; positive
67
Remember for gas expansion or volume and pressure problems always convert L to
m^3
68
Under which of the following conditions is a gas least likely to be ideal?
High Pressure, Low temperature
69
Which of the following processes must always result in a net increase in internal energy of the system?
A system gains energy as heat and has work done on it by the surroundings.
