Cards

Term
Thermodynamics
Definition
The Study of energy and it's transformations
Term
Thermochemistry
Definition
Energy change that occurs during chemical reaction involving heat
Term
Energy
Definition
refers to the capacity to do work, that is to move or displace matter
Term
Work (W)
Definition
energy used to cause an object with mass to move
Term
Potential Energy Equation
Definition
PE=mgh
Term
Kinetic Energy Equation
Definition
1/2mv^2
Term
System & Surroundings
Definition
System: Includes the molecules we want to study

Surroundings: Are everything else
Term
First Law of Thermodynamics
Definition
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed
-The energy of a system and surroundings is constant
-Any energy transferred from a system must be transferred to the surrounding and vice/versa
Term
Internal Energy (E)
Definition
The sum of all the kinetic and potential energies of the components of the system
- delta E=Efinal-Einitial
Term
When Energy is Exchanged between the system and the surroundings it is exchanged as either (q) or work(w)
Definition
-equation: Change in E= q+w
Term
Thermodynamic quantities have 3 parts
Definition
number, unit, & a sign that gives them a direction
Term
Endothermic
Definition
-When a system absorbs heat, causing the kinetic energy to go up
Term
Exothermic
Definition
-When the system loses heat
Term
Pressure-Volume Work (p-v work)
Definition
The work involved in the expansion of gases
- w=-PdV
Term
Enthalpy (H)
Definition
the Heat (q) transferred between the system and the surroundings during a chemical reaction carried out under constant pressure, often referred to as "heat content"
- at a constant pressure, the change in enthalpy equals the heat gained or lost
Term
Enthalpy Equation
Definition
- Is the internal energy plus the product of pressure & volume of the system
dH=dE+PdV
-dH is the change in enthalpy
Term
Standard Enthalpies of a Reaction
Definition
Is the enthalpy change for a reaction in which the reactants in their standard states yield products in their standard states
Term
Equation for Bomb Calorimetry
Definition
qrxn=-Ccal*Change in Temp
Term
In bomb calorimetry since the reaction is carried under constant volume what are we measuring really instead of the the change in H. (Enthalpy)
Definition
- We are measuring dE, the internal energy
-dE=qv
Term
What's another name for Bomb Calorimetry?
Definition
Volume Calorimetry
Term
What type of Calorimeter is used when the volume is constant
Definition
Bomb Calorimeter
Term
For bomb calorimetry what is the most common type of reaction being studied?
Definition
Under these conditions the most common type of reaction is combustion.
Term
Heat Capacity (C)
Definition
Amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by 1 K (1 degree celsius) J/k
Term
The Heat Capacity (Cm)(molal capacity)
Definition
Is 1 mol of a substance that is the molal heat capacity (cm)
Term
The specific heat capacity of
Definition
1g of a substance is the specific heat capacity or specific heat
Term
What is calorimetry?
What is a calorimeter
Definition
It is the measure of heat flow
It is an apparatus that measures heat flow
Term
Specific Heat equation
Definition
(quantity of heat transferred)/(grams of substance)(temperature change)
Term
Constant pressure calorimeter
Definition
- measures change in enthalpy (H) of a rxn occuring in solution during which atmospheric pressure remains constant, easiest way is to use a cofee-cup calorimeter to measure heat-accompanying reactons at constant pressure
Term
What happens in the coffee-cup calorimeter when the heat is produced y the qrxn
Definition
it is entirely absorbed by the solution, & it does not escape the calorimeter
Term
What does Heat gain=Heat loss
Definition
The heat gained by the sol'n, qsol'n, is equal to the magnitude to qrxn
, but opposite in sign
-qsol'n=Cs*m*dT=-qrxn
Term
in Constant pressure Calorimetry for dilute aqueous soln's
Definition
-The specific heat of the sol'n will be close to pure water (4.184J/g-k)
