Cards

Term
thermodynamics
Definition
study of energy transfer and energy transformation
energy absorbed/released
Term
energy
Definition
ability to do work or to supply heat
Term
work
Definition
when an object is moved by force over a distance
Term
heat
Definition
difference in temperature when applied to energy
Term
what are the two ways energy is transferred
Definition
heat and work
objects DON'T CONTAIN HEAT OR WORK!!
its internal energy that does
Term
SI unit for energy
Definition
joules ??
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
1/2 mv^2
kg, m/s
Term
potential energy
Definition
everything needs to be stable so it goes to kinetic energy
Term
chemical potential energy
Definition
interaction between particles in an atom
constant randomn motion so they have a kinetic energy>thermal energy
average KE is proportional to temp in gas
Term
system in thermodynamcis
Definition
something is defined as system and everything else in surroundings
system is usually reactants and products
energy transferred between both
Term
internal energy (U)
Definition
sum of potential and kinetic energy
change U= U final- U inital which is q+w
first law of thermodynamics>no energy lost
Term
when heat or work goes into system
Definition
positive
Term
when heat or work goes out of system
Definition
negative
Term
in endothermic reactions
Definition
systems absorbs heat so it is positive; energy converted to chemical potential energy
Term
in exothermic reactions
Definition
system releases heat so it is negative; energy converted to thermal
Term
internal energy is what kind of system
Definition
state function; unique value once the conditions of system have been defined
Term
geat and work are what kinds of system
Definition
no state functions bc they depend on the system
Term
heat of reaction (q rxn)
Definition
heat transfer at constant temperature
Term
heat reaction (q rxn) with constant volume
Definition
qv would just equal Q +W
no work is actually done so all energy is heat
Term
heat reaction (q rxn) with constant pressure
Definition
Q= change U +pchange V
Term
work equation
Definition
w= -p change V
Term
enthaply (H)
Definition
U +PV; heat transfer at constant pressure
Term
relationship with enthalpy and internal energy
Definition
changes in both equals each other
Term
calorimeter definition
Definition
measurement of quantity of heat
Term
heat capacity (C) and equation
Definition
heat required to change the temperature of a system by 1 degree c;
c=q/change in T
Term
molar heat capacity
Definition
heat required to change the tempeature of system by 1 degree over 1 mole
Term
specific heat capacity
Definition
heat capacity of 1 gram of sample
Term
heat equation with specific heat
Definition
q= m (specific heat) (change in T)
MCAT
Term
Coffee cup calorimeter
Definition
same as change H which is q+w; constant pressure
Term
bomb calorimeter
Definition
constant volume; can be change in U + p change in V; but normally just

q+W
Term
hess's law
Definition
enthaply is state function so no matter the order or steps the energy with still be the same
Term
standard condition
Definition
reference for thermo.
1 atm, 1 M, 25 degree C,
Term
standard enthaply change
Definition
enthaply change when all reactants and products are in their standard states
