Term
What are the two types of energy and why are they unique?
Definition

potential energy or stored energy

Term
How is heat measured?
Definition
Heat, q, is measured in calories and in a hot to cold flow

What is Hess's Law or calculating Enthalpy?
Definition
Hess's Law is the total enthalpy in a system is equal to the sum of the steps of the reaction.  It is a way to calculate the change in enthalpy.  The key to this is when you flip be sure to flip the sign of the ΔH as well.

Term
What is equilibrium?
Definition
Equilibrium is a state of dynamic balance

To be far right means you have more products and is generally a lighter color.  To be far left means you have more reactants and is generally a darker color
Term
What is dynamic balance?
Definition
Dynamic Balance is where there is no change that is apparent with the motion of the reaction because of the change in rate.
Term
What is the equilibrium's constant and expression?
Definition

jA + kB <-> lC + mD

K=[C]l[D]m/[A]j[B]k

Term
What happens with constants for homogeneous equilibria and heterogeneous equilibria?
Definition
Homogeneous equilibria is when all reactants and products are in the same physical state.  Heterogeneous equilibria is when you should only include liquids and aqueous solutions into the expression.
Term
When determining the value of an equilibrium constant how do you know which way the equation goes?
Definition

Greater than 1 is to the right

Less that 1 is to the left

1 is equal equilibrium

Term
What is Le Chatelier's Principle and how do you determine the left and right arrows?
Definition
Le Chatelier's Principle is about disturbing equilibrium and stress that upsets a system at the equilibrium.  You determine which way the left and right arrow should point by allowing it to be in the direction of the up arrows.
