INTRO: Basic Chem Flashcards
(21 cards)
Exothermic and endothermic processes
EXOTHERMIC
Heat generation by combustion process is transferred from system of chemical reaction —> surroundings
ENDOTHERMIC
Heat is supplied by the surroundings —> system of chemical reaction
Energy of a reaction
Enthalpy
Degree of disorderliness in thermodynamics
Entropy
Heat required to raise temperature by 1 degree
Heat capacity
Heat required to raise temperature per gram
Specific heat
1st law of thermodynamics
Energy CAN be converted from on form to another, but CANNOT be created nor destroyed
2nd law of thermodynamics
The entropy of the universe INCREASES in a spontaneous process and remains UNCHANGED in equilibrium process
3rd law of thermodynamics
The entropy of a system approaches a CONSTANT VALUE when absolute temperature reaches absolute zero
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
If 2 bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with a 3rd body, they are also in equilibrium with each other
