thermodynamics
|
study of energy
|
|
energy
|
the ability to do work or produce heat
|
|
potential energy
|
energy due to position or composition
|
|
kinetic energy
|
energy due to the motion of the object and depends on mass
|
|
Law of Conservation of Energy
|
energy can be converted to different forms but is always the same amount (can't be created nor destroyed)
|
|
work
|
force acting over a distance
|
|
temperature
|
measure of the random motion of the components of a substance
|
|
heat
|
flow of energy due to a temperature difference
|
|
endothermic
|
process that ABSORBS energy from the surroundings into the system
^H is POSITIVE more product potential energy than reactant potential energy |
|
exothermic
|
process that allows energy to flow OUT of the system
^H is NEGATIVE more reactant potential energy than product potential energy |
|
system
|
part of the universe on which we want to focus attention (products and reactants)
|
|
surroundings
|
everything else in the universe (generally in the room)
|
|
calorie (cal)
|
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree C (STP)
|
|
joule (J)
|
measures energy and is the unit for the SI System (based upon the energy to move a 1Kg mass of a distance of 1m with a rate of acceleration of 1m/s^2)
|
|
1 cal = ...
|
4.184 J
ALSO KNOWN AS THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF WATER |
|
formula to calculate energy requirements
|
q = (m)(c)(^T)
q = energy required to achieve temperature change (joules) m = mass (grams) c = specific heat capacity of substance (joules per gram degrees Celsius) ^T = change in temperature - T2 - T1 (degrees Celcius) |
|
Specific Heat Capacity (c)
|
the amount of energy required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius)
C IS HEAT AND Q IS ENERGY |
|
enthalpy (H)
|
heat for the reaction
|
|
calorimeter
|
device used to determine the heat associated with a chemical reaction
|
|
entropy (S)
|
measure of disorder or randomness
|
|
intramolecular forces
|
forces that exist within the molecules
example: covalent bonds |
|
intermolecular forces
|
forces that exist between molecules
example: ion-ion, dipole-dipole, london-dispersion, etc. |
|
ion-ion interactions
|
the opposite charges of ions attract each other in a crystal structure
metal and a non-metal metal and a polyatomic |
|
dipole-dipole attractions
|
the attractive force resulting when polar molecules line up such that the positive and negative ends are close to each other
|
|
hydrogen bonding
|
type of dipole-dipole attraction between H and F, O, or N
F, O, and N are highly electronegative atoms |
|
London-dispersion forces
|
a force that exists among noble gas atoms and non polar molecules that involve an accidental dipole that induces a momentary dipole in a neighbor
|
|
heating/cooling curve
|
a plot of temperature vs time where energy is added at a constant rate
(solid, solid and liquid, liquid, liquid and gas, gas) |
|
Molar Heat of Fusion (^Hf)
|
q = (^Hf)(n) ALWAYS IN kJ/mol |
|
Molar Heat of Vaporization
|
q = (^Hv)(n) ALWAYS IN Kj/mol |
|
phase diagram
|
represents the areas of stability of the various phases in a chemical system at equilibrium, usually with a respect to pressure and temperature
|
|
triple point (on a phase diagram)
|
all states of matter at the same time (not achieved at STP)
|
|
sublimation
|
solid to a gas (not achieved at STP)
|
|
critical point (on a phase diagram)
|
liquids and gasses morph
|
