Cards

Term
Thermodynamics
Definition
The study of energy and its transformations
Term
Thermochemistry
Definition
the study of the relationship between chemical reactions and energy changes
Term
energy
Definition
capacity to do work or transfer heat
Term
Kinetic energy
Definition
Energy of motion
*particles of a substance(gas, liquid, or solid) undergo motion.
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
Energy stored by an objct as a result of its position and mass
Term
Energy Units
Definition
Si unit of energy is a joule(J); defiens as 2.0 kg object moving at a velocity of 1 m/s
Term
Calorie
Definition
Unit used for energy changes accompanying a chemical reaction
1 cal= 4.184 J
Term
System
Definition
is part of the unviverse being studied
Term
Surroundings
Definition
is everything else in unvivers other then system
Term
First law of thermodynamics
Definition
Energy is conserved
Term
Internal Energy
Definition
the total sum of energy is its kinetic and potential energy of its component parts
Term
Total change in energy (Delta E)
Definition
Delta E=Efinal-Einitial
Term
Delta E is positive
Definition
the system has gained energy
Term
Delta E is negative
Definition
System has lost energy
Term
Enthalpy
Definition
heat absorbed or released under constant pressure (H)
Cant measure H but can measure change in H
Term
Delta H is positive
Definition
Endothermic
Term
Delta H is negative
Definition
Exothermic
Term
Hess's Law
Definition
If reaction is carried out in steps, Delta H for the reaction will be equal to the sum of enthalpy changes for the individual steps
Term

Definition
Amount of heat required to raise a substance temperature by 1K(or 1 degree C).
Term
Molar heat cpacity
Definition
heat capacity of 1.0 mole of substance
Term
Specific heat
Definition
heat capacity of 1.0 gram of substance
