What is the original source of energy
Sunlight
Is photosynthesis endo/exothermic
Endothermic
Is cell resp endo/exothermic
Exothermic
Formula for photosynthesis:
6h20 (l) +6co2(g) + energy -> 6o2 (g) +C6H12O6 (s)
Formula for cell resp:
C6H12O6 +6O2 (g) ->6CO2 +6H2O (l) +energy
What state is water after :
Cell resp
Burning of glucose
(L)
(G)
Define an
Open system:
Closed system:
Isolated system:
- matter AND energy can enter and leave the system
- energy can enter and leave but matter can’t
- neither matter/energy can enter or exit the system
First law of thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transformed OR total energy in the universe is constant
Second law of thermodynamics
Thermal energy is transferred from objects of higher temp to objects of lower temp
Kinetic energy=
Motion of particles
Potential energy is stored in _____ bonds
Chemical
If Q is (-) then the reaction is ____
Exothermic
If Q is (+) the reaction is ____
Endothermic
If you have a solution with no given heat capacity what do you assume
That it has the properties of water
In endothermic reactions new bonds store ____ potential energy than the ____ ______
More
Original reactants
In exothermic reactions new bonds store _____ P.E than the ____ _____
Less
Original reactants
Define enthalpy change
The change in potential energy between products and reactants
Define molar enthalpy change
The change when one mole of a substance undergoes a reaction (KJ/mol)
What is a true example of an isolated system
Bomb calorimetry
Substances with _____ potential energy are ____ stable compared to substances with _____ potential energy
Lower
More
Higher
Energy efficiency formula:
Useful energy output/total energy input x100
Or
Experimental output/theoretical input x100
What is collision theory
For a chemical reaction to occur particles must collide and collisions must be effective
In order for collisions to be considered effective what 2 things have to be met
1) collision geometry (particles must have the correct orientation @ impact)
2) activation energy (particles must have enough collision energy)
Activation energy=
The max amount of energy to get a reaction to occur
