Term
heat capacity def
Definition

The amount of heat  (J) required to raise the temperature of a body (of any mass) 1 degree Celsius.

 


Q= mcΔT


m= mass

c= specific

Term
specific heat def
Definition

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1°C.

 

represented by 'c'

Term
specific heat of water
Definition
1 cal/ g° C
Term
heat def
Definition
energy transferred btwn two species as a result of differences in their temperatures.
Term
enthalpy (H) def
Definition

for any system at a constant pressure, the heat lost or gained.

 

unit: J

Term

first law of thermoynamics

give equation and definition

Definition

ΔU= Q- W

change in the total internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of heat transferred (Q) minus the work ( W).

Term

what are standard conditions used for measuring

ΔG,ΔH,ΔS

Definition

25 C (298 K)

1 atm

Term
t or f: can the entrophy of a spontaneous rxn decrease?
Definition

true,

 

Δ G=  ΔH- T ΔS

(25- 100)= neg

(25-50)= still neg

Term
true or false: entrophy is a measure of the randomness in a system
Definition
true
Term

 true or false:

the entrophy of a amphous solid is greater than that of a crystalline solid.

Definition

true; an amphous solid's atoms aren't highly ordered like a crystalline solid.

 

 

Term
true or false: at a constant temperature and pressure,the entrophy of the universe cannot spontaneously incease.
Definition
false, under these conditons the entrophy does increase spontaneously.
Term
what is the critical point as noted on a phase diagram?
Definition
differences btwn the properties of 2 phases disappear
Term
describe the energy level of a transition state or an activated complex
Definition
has greater energy than either the reactants or the products
