Answer 2

Energy stored in the positions of the atoms/ions within a chemical species (intramolecular attractions - chemical bonds)

Question 3

What is thermal energy?

Answer 3

Energy stored in the motion of the particles within the system

Question 4

Answer 4

Energy stored in the position of particles that are attracted to or repelled from each other (Intermolecular attractions)

Question 5

What factors impact the amount of energy stored in a system, thermally - thermal energy?

Answer 5

1) average velocity of the particles - temperature
2) Number of particles in the system - mass

Question 6

What factors impact the amount of phase energy stored in a system?

Answer 6

1) Strength of interaction between the particles - some constant
2) Number of particles in the system - mass

Question 7

What factors impact the amount of chemical energy stored in a system?

Answer 7

1) Strength of interactions within the molecules - some set of constants
2) Number of particles in the system - mass

Question 8

List three way to transfer energy into or out of a system

Answer 8

1. Heating (heat)
2. Working (work)
3. Radiating

Question 9

Describe the process of heating.

Answer 9

Fast moving particles collide with slow moving particles. Slow moving particles speed up while fast moving particles slow down. This continues throughout the substance until themal equilibrium is reached.

Question 10

Describe the conditions that must be met in order for heating to occur.

Answer 10

There must be a difference in temperature

Question 11

What is thermal equilibrium?

Answer 11

Temperature of two substances/regions is the same. At this point there is no net trasnfer of energy through heating.

What type of work will we consider in chemistry?

Answer 12

Expansion or contraction of a gas at constant pressure.
