Term
ΔE(change in internal energy)
Definition

+ engergy flows into the system

-energy flows out of the system

Term
ΔE(the change in the internal energy of the system)
Definition
q(heat transferred)+w(the work done)
Term
Thermal energy always flows from matter at ____ temperatures to matter at _____ temperatures.
Definition
higher; lower
Term
thermal equilibrium
Definition
no additional net transfer of heat
Term
C(heat capacity)
Definition
The constant of proportionality between q and ΔT; a measure of the system's ability to absorb thermal energy without undergoing a large change in temperature. the quanitity of heat required to change its temperature by 1 °C
Term
specific heat capacity (Cs)
Definition
the intrinsic capacity of a substance to absorb heat. the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by 1 °C.
Term
What are the units of specific heat capacity?
Definition
J/g·°C
Term
molar heat capacity
Definition
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1°C.
Term
What are the units of molar heat capacity?
Definition
J/mol·°C
Term
Is heat capacity an intensive or extensive property?
Definition
Extensive, it depends on the amount of matter being heated.
Term
Is specific/molar heat capacity an intensive or extensive property?
Definition
intensive, it despnds on the kind of substance being heated not the amount.
Term

equation that shows the relation ship between the amount of heat added to a given amount of substance and the corresponding temperature increase.

q(heat in J)=

Definition
m(mass in g)×Cs (specific heat capacity J/g·°C)×ΔT(temperature change in °C)
Term
pressure -volume work
Definition
occurs when the force is cause by a volume change against an external pressure
Term

pressure-volume work equation:

w=

Definition
-P(pressure)×ΔV(change in volume)
Term

@constant volume:

ΔErxn=

Definition
qv(heat at constant volume)
Term
bomb calorimeter
Definition
a piece of equpiment designed to measure ΔE for combustion reactions
Term

temperature change and heat absorbed by the entire calorimeter assembly equation:

qcal=

Definition
Ccal ×ΔT
Term

If no heat escapes from the calorimeter,

qcal =

Definition
-qrxn
Term
To get ΔErxn per mole of a particular reactant
Definition
divide qrxn by the number of moles that actually reacted.
Term
enthalpy (H)
Definition
the sum of the system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume
Term
H
Definition
E(internal energy) +PV
Term

ΔH(change in enthalpy) for any process occurring under constnat pressure:

ΔH=

Definition

ΔE +PΔV

or essentially:

qp

Term
endothermic reaction
Definition
a chemical reaction with a positive ΔH, absorbs heat from its surroundings.
Term
exothermic reaction
Definition
a chemical reaction with a negative ΔH, gives off heat to its surroundings.
Term
If an endothermic reaction absorbs heat, then why does it feel cold to the touch?
Definition
when you touch the vessel in which the reaction occurs, you, being part of the surroundings lose heat to the system(the reaction), which makes you feel cold.
Term
Is ΔHrxn(enthalpy of reaction)an intensive or extensive property?
Definition
It is an extesnive property, one that depsnds on the amount of material undergoing the reaction. The amount of heat generated or absorbed hen a chemical reaction occurs depnds on the amounts of reactants that actually react.
Term
Bomb calorimetry occurs at constant ____ and measures Δ__ for a reaction
Definition
volume, E
Term
coffee-cup calorimetry occurs at constant _____ and measures Δ__?
Definition
pressure;H
Term
If a chemical equation is multiplied by some factor, then ΔHrxn....
Definition
is also multiplid by the same factor.
Term
If a chemical equation is reversed then ΔHrxn ...
Definition
changes sign
Term
Hess's law
Definition
the change in enthalpy for a stepwise process is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the steps.
Term
The standard state for a gas
Definition
the pure gas at a pressure of exactly 1 atmosphere
Term
The standard state for a liquid or solid
Definition
is the pure substance in its most stable form at a pressure of 1 atm and at the temperature of interest (often taken to be 25°C)
Term
The standard state for a substance in solution
Definition
is a concentration of exactly 1 M
Term

standard enthalpy change (ΔH°)

 

Definition
the change in enthalpy for a process when all reactants and products are in their standard states.
Term
Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °) for a pure compound:
Definition
the change in enthalpy when 1 mole of the compound forms from its constituent elements in their standard states.
Term
standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °) for a pure element in its standard state
Definition
0
Term
To calculate ΔHrxn °
Definition
subtract the enthalpies of formation of the reactants multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients from the enthalpies of formation of the products multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficients.
