Term
Why do we study energy in chemistry?
Definition
Everything involved in chemistry also involves energy, such as phase or chemical changes.
Term
energy
Definition
capacity or ability to do work
Term
work
Definition
moving an object using a force
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
energy of movement
Term
potential energy
Definition
energy of position or condition
Term
chemical potential energy
Definition
energy stored within chemicals because of their composition (the energy is stored within bonds and attractions)
Term
heat
Definition
form of energy that flows from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature; real; dependent on amount
Term
temperature
Definition
relative heat content; average kinetic energy; not real
Term
Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition
In an ordinary chemical or physical change, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it changes form.
Term
SI unit of heat
Definition
Joule
Term
calorie (cal)
Definition
amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius
Term
Calorie (Cal) or kilocalorie (kcal)
Definition
food calorie; 1000 calories
Term
system
Definition
any part of the universe that the attention is focused on; what you are studying
Term
surroundings
Definition
the remainder of the universe that outside the system; especially the air surrounding the system, et cetera
Term
endothermic reaction
Definition
any reaction that takes in energy from its surroundings, any reaction with a positive delta H
Term
exothermic reaction
Definition
any reaction that puts off energy to the surroundings; any reaction with a negative delta H
Term
activation energy
Definition
the minimum energy colliding particles must have to react
Term
catalyst
Definition
a substance that speeds up a reaction without being used up; a substance that makes particles move closer together, thereby increasing the chances of the particles hitting each other and reacting and lowering activation energy
Term
delta H
Definition
products-reactants; enthalpy; heat of reaction
Term
specific heat
Definition
amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius
Term
Hess's law
Definition
If you add two or more thermochemical equations to give a final equation, you can also add the heat changes to give a final heat change.
Term
What do you do to delta H when you flip the equation associated with it?
Definition
multiply delta H by negative one or flip the charges
Term
When you multiply an equation, what do you do to the delta H value associated with it?
Definition
multiply it by the same amount.
Term
Calorimetry equation
Definition
q = m*C*delta T
Term
What does q represent in the calorimetry equation?
Definition
heat or energy in Joules
Term
What does m represent in the calorimetry equation?
Definition
mass of the object with a heat change in grams
Term
What does C represent in the calorimetry equation?
Definition
specific heat of the object with the heat change in Joules/(grams*degrees Celsius)
Term
What does delta T represent in the calorimetry equation?
Definition
temperature change in degrees Celsius, (final temperature-initial temperature)
Term
conversion factor between Joules and calories
Definition
1 Joule = .239 calories
Term
conversion factor between calories and Joules
Definition
1 calorie = 4.186 Joules
