3
What is chemical energy?
The energy stored within the bonds of chemical substances.
New cards
4
What is nuclear energy?
The energy stored within the collection of neutrons and protons in the atom.
New cards
5
What is electrical energy?
The energy associated with the flow of electrons.
New cards
6
What is potential energy?
The energy available by virtue of an object’s position.
New cards
7
What is heat?
The transfer of thermal energy between two bodies that are at different temperatures.
New cards
8
What is temperature?
The measure of thermal energy
New cards
9
What is different about temperature and thermal energy?
They are different because temperature is the measure of thermal energy.
New cards
10
What is thermochemistry?
The study of heat change in chemical reactions.
New cards
11
What is a system? What is around the system?
The specific part of the universe that is of interest in the study (in this case, it is the chemical reaction). Everything around the system is the surroundings.
New cards
12
Why would a bathtub of 40°C have more thermal energy than a mug of 90°C?
It has more thermal energy because of its mass. The amount of electrons and heat in the tub is greater than the mug.
New cards
13
Types of systems
Open, closed, and isolated.
New cards
14
What is exchanged in a open system?
Mass and energy
New cards
15
What is exchanged in a closed system?
Energy
New cards
16
What is exchanged in an isolated system?
Nothing
New cards
17
What is an exothermic process
Any process where heat is given off. Transfers thermal energy from system to surroundings.
New cards
18
What is a thermochemical equation
A balanced chemical equation plus an energy term.
New cards
19
What is an endothermic process?
Any process where heat is supplied to system from surroundings. Heat is applied to reaction.
New cards
20
Exothermic process equation
heat is a product
New cards
21
Endothermic process equation
heat is a reactant
New cards
22
What is enthalpy (H)
Enthalpy is used to quantify heat flow into or out of a system in a process that occurs at a constant pressure.
New cards
23
Change in heat equation
ΔH = H(products) - H(reactants)
New cards
24
ΔH = ?
= heat given off/absorbed during chemical reaction
