Cards

Term
What three things happen in any chemical reaction?
Definition

Reactaants are consumed

 

Products are formed

 

There is a transfer of energy

Term

Define:

 

Thermodynamics

Definition
The study of the changes in energy and transfer of energy that accompanies physical and chemical processes.
Term
What are the three Laws of Thermodynamics?
Definition

1st Law: Conservation of Energy

 

2nd Law: Law of Entropy

 

3rd Law: Law of Absolute Zero

Term

State the First Law of Thermodynamics.

 

(Law of Conservation of Energy)

Definition

This law suggest that energy can be transferred from one system to another in many forms but the energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Term

State the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

 

(Law of Entropy)

Definition
Heat cannot be transfered from a cold body to a hot body. As a result of this fact of thermodynamics, natural processes that involve energy transfer must have one direction, and all natural processes are irreversible.
Term

State the Third Law of Thermodynamics

 

(Law of Absolute Zero)

Definition
The third law of thermodynamics states that if all the thermal motion of molecucule (kinetic energy) could be removed, a state called absolute zero would occur. Absolute zero results in a Temperature of 0 Kelvins or -273.15° Celcius.
Term

Define:

 

Energy

Definition
The capacity(ability) to do work.
Term
What are the units associated with Energy?
Definition

joule (J)

kilojoule (kJ)

calorie (cal)

kilocalorie (kcal)

 

Note: calorie is denoted with a lower case "c"

Term

What are the different forms of Energy?

How can Energy manifest itself?

Definition

Mechanical (car)

Electrical (electricity)

Radiant (light)

Nuclear

Chemical (hot/cold packs)

Term
State the formula of Work and the unit associated with it.
Definition

Work = Force * Distance

 

Unit is joule (J)

or

Newton*meter (1N*m=1J)

 

Note: Work and Energy have the same unit.

Term

Define:

 

Heat (q)

Definition

A measure of the internal energy that is absorbed or transferred from one body to another.

 

Represented by a lower case q.

 

(Not to be confused with Temperature)

Term

Define:

 

Temperature

Definition
A relative measure of hotness or coldness.
Term

Define:

 

Internal Energy (U or E)

Definition
The total kinetic energy and potential energy of all the molecules or an object.
Term
What is Kinetic Energy
Definition
The energy of motion.
Term
State the formula for determining Kinetic Energy.
Definition

KE=1/2mv2

 

Kinetic Energy=1/2 mass * velocity squared

 

Note:

All molecules and atoms are in constant motion so KEatom/molecule is >0

Term
State the formula for determing Potential Energy.
Definition

PEgrav=mgh

 

m=mass

g=gravity

h=height

Term

Define:

 

Potential Energy

Definition
Energy possessed by an object due to its postition or composition.
Term
What are some examples of Potential Energy?
Definition

Gravitational

Tension or Compression(elastic)

Centrifigal

Magnetic

Term
What is the formula for determing Internal Energy?
Definition

ΔU=q+w

Change of Internal Energy(ΔU) = heat + work

 

Note:

Internal Energy may be represented

by U or E

so you might see ΔU or ΔE in a problem.

Term
How may Energy(E) be transfered?
Definition

In the form of heat

In the form of work

In the form of work and heat

Term

Define:

 

System

Definition

Substances under investigation

 

Ex: Chemical reaction occuring in a beaker

Term

Define:

 

Surroundings

Definition

The rest of the universe.

 

Every not being investigated.

Term

Define:

 

Universe

(Not the Carl Sagan type)

Definition
System plus its surroundings.
Term

Define:

 

Thermodynamic State of a System

Definition

A set of conditions that describe and define a system.

 

i.e.

1. number of moles or each substance

 2.physical state of each substance

3. temperature

4. pressure

5. volume

Term

Define:

 

State Function

Definition

A property of a system that depends only on hte current state of the system and not how the system came to be in that state.

 

An Indepent property.

Term

Define:

 

Enthalpy(H)

Definition

Enthalpy is the quantity of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a substance from one point to a higher temperature.

 

Enthalpy represented by H

Term
State the formula for determining Enthalpy(H).
Definition

H = U + PV

 

Enthalpy = Internal Change + Pressure*Volume

Term

Define:

 

Enthalpy Change(ΔH)

Definition
The change in the heat content of a system that accompanies a process which occures at a constant pressure.
Term

What are the aliases associated with

Enthalpy Change(ΔH)?

Definition

Enthalpy Change(ΔH)

=

Heat change

=

Heat of reaction

Term
State the formula for determing Enthalpy Change(ΔH).
Definition

ΔH = Hfinal system - Hinitial system = qp

 

Note:

qp= qconstant pressure

 

subscript p = constant pressure

Term
What are the units associated with Enthalpy Change(ΔH)?
Definition
Typical unit is kJ/mole
Term

Define:

 

Endothermic

Definition

The process of a system absorbing heat from its surroundings.

 

Endothermic = Enter

Term

Define:

 

Exothermic

Definition

The process of a system releasing heat into its surroundings.

 

Exothermic = Exit

Term
If an endothermic/exothermic process occures at a constant pressure what is ΔH equal to?
Definition

qp

 

Note:

exothermic = negative qp = negative ΔH

 

endothermic = positive qp = positive ΔH

Term

Define:
