What is energy
The capacity to do work or produce heat
Where is potential energy stored
stored in bonds
What is thermal energy
total amount of kinetic energy in a system measured in joules
What is heat and its symbol
thermal energy transferred between two systems symbol is q
What is heat capacity and its symbol
amount of heating necessary to change the temperature of an object (depends on the amount of stuff) symbol is C
What is specific heat and its symbol
heat capacity per gram symbol is c
What is enthalpy and its symbol
thermal energy absorbed or released by a system that is free to do work symbol is H
What is enthalpy when the rxn is exothermic and endothermic
negative for exothermic and positive for endothermic
What is a stipulation of the enthalpy of formation
element being calculated needs to be only one mol so others might be in fractions
What is the standard enthalpy of formation of elements in their natural state
zero
What is bond energy and its symbol
the energy required to break a bond symbol is D
What type of bonds are usually shorter
Stonger bonds
What types of bonds are stonger
triple bonds then double then single
What is lattice energy and its symbol
e required to pull ions apart symbol is delta H sub latt
What is entropy and its symbol
disorder within a system symbol is s
When is entropy favored or disfavored
when entropy is potive it is favored when its negative its disfavored
What is free energy and its symbol
maximum amount of work a system can do spontaneously symbol is G
What will free energy be when a reaction is spontaneous and not spontaneous
when negative the rxn is spontaneous and when postive the rxn is not spontaneous
When enthalpy is negative and entropy is positive what will free energy be?
negative
When enthalpy is positive and entropy is negative what will free energy be?
positve
Under what conditions does free energy depend on temperature
when enthalpy and entropy are both negative and positive
When an endothermic reaction occurs, what bonds are broken and what ones occur?
Strong bonds are broken while weak ones form
When an exothermic reaction occurs what bonds are broken and what ones occur?
Weak bonds are broken while strong ones form
When do molecules have a greater freedom of movement?
when pressure decreases
