TEST 1 Flashcards
Definition of Heat
The exchange of thermal energy due to a temperature difference.
Definition of Cold
The absence of heat
Temperature
Quantitative measure of how hot something is. The measure of KE in particles.
Endothermic
Energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Negative Enthalpy.
Exothermic
Energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Positive Enthalpy.
1st Law of Thermo
energy is not created or destroyed
Energy of the Universe = ?
Energy of the universe = Energy of the system + Energy of the surrounding
a) Work =?
b) Unit of work?
a) F x D; Cross product of force and displacement
- PΔV; Negative Pressure times Volume
b) Joule (J)= kg m^2/s^2
What is the System?
The molecule we want to study
What is the surrounding(s)?
Everything else other than the system
3 ways to transfer energy
- Transfer heat
- Work
- Both heat and work
Energy is?
The absolute ability to do work or transfer energy
E=q+w E=q(F*d) E=q+PΔV
Pressure is?
P = F/A ; Pressure is Force/Area
Volume is?
V=d*A; Volume is displacement * Area
Work when gas expands?
W=-P(+ΔV); Work is negative
The system is doing work on the surrounding
Work when gas is compressed?
W=-P(-ΔV); Work is positive
The surrounding does work on the system
Definition of a State Function
The Property of an entity based only on its chemical or physical state. Doesn’t matter how it achieved the state.
Definition of Thermal Energy
The portion of the internal energy of a system that is proportional to absolute temp. Comes from the vibration of molecules due to rise in temp.
Isolated System
no flow
ex: a thermos
Closed System
Only heat flow
ex: hot cup lid
Open System
Matter and heat flow
ex: a cup without a lid
Kinetic Energy
The energy of a moving object
What is Enthalpy (ΔH)?
The energy flow in or out of the system
ΔH=ΔE+PΔV; Enthalpy equals Energy plus pressure times volume
ΔH=ΔE+W; Enthalpy equals Energy plus work done to or by the system
Thermal Equilibrium
Heat flows from matter with high temp to matter with low temp until both objects are the same temp
