33 Terms

1

Energy

Ability to do work, which is measured in Joules

New cards
2

Potential energy

Relation to position, being vital for bonds that change in chemical rxns, and hence changing attractions which change in phase changes

New cards
3

Kinetic energy

Related to motion, changes when the temperature changes.

New cards
4

Heat

Flow of energy from hot to cold objects until they reach the same temperature, which is thermal equilirbrium

New cards
5

Temperature

AVERAGE kinetic energy of the particles

New cards
6

Thermal energy

TOTAL kinetic energy of the particles

New cards
7

Endothermic

Energy enters a system. Energy gained will make particles speed up or break/weaken attractions and bonds

New cards
8

Exothermic

Energy exits a system. Energy lost can make particles slow down or form/strengthen bonds

New cards
9

Specific heat capicity

The amount of energy needed to change the temperature.

New cards
10

Materials with high specific heats will…

Heat slowly and cool slowly

New cards
11

Equation for determining heat energy

q=mc Delta T

New cards
12

What can the energy gained or lost do in a physical change?

Change temperature which is the speed, or the phase which changes the position of the particles

New cards
13

Change in enthalpy(Delta H)

Heat absorved or released during the process at constant pressure, applies to phase and chemical changes.

New cards
14

Remember, as attractions break, energy is…

Absorbed, which accounts for a positive enthalpy(Endothermic)

New cards
15

Remember, as attractions form, energy is…

Released, which can account for a negative enthalpy(Exothermic)

New cards
16

Phase changes involving a solid always class the Delta H as…

Fusion(Melting, Freezing)

New cards
17

Phase changes involving a gas always class the Delta H as…

Vaporization(Condense, boil)

New cards
18

Equation to calculate energy during a phase change

q=n delta H, note that N MUST BE IN MOLES

New cards
19

Heat/cool curve main points

Involving both temp and phase changes, each step must be calculated seperatly. All energies must be in KJ. Flat lines indicate a phase change, and on a heating curve that does not mean speed up

New cards
20

Delta H Rnx

The difference between the input and output

New cards
21

If energy required to break bonds is greater than the energy released when forming bonds, Delta H Rnx is…

Positive and endothermic

New cards
22

If the energy required to break bonds is less than the energy released when forming bonds, Delta H Rnx is…

Negative and exothermic

New cards
23

Calculate Delta H rnx with bond energy

  • Identify the bonds:

    Analyze the balanced chemical equation to identify all the bonds present in the reactants and products. 

  • Look up bond energies:

    Use a table of average bond energies to find the energy value for each type of bond involved in the reaction. 

  • Calculate the energy of bonds broken:

    Multiply the number of each type of bond broken in the reactants by its corresponding bond energy and add them together. 

  • Calculate the energy of bonds formed:

    Multiply the number of each type of bond formed in the products by its corresponding bond energy and add them together. 

  • Calculate delta H:

    Subtract the energy of bonds formed from the energy of bonds broken: ΔH = (Energy of bonds broken) - (Energy of bonds formed). 

New cards
25

Calorimetry

Determining the heat of a reaction by transferring the energy released to a sample of water.

New cards
26

Calorimetry formula

RXN———>H20, so -Q RNX=Q H20

New cards
27

Reactants___, Products ____

Enter(+), and exit(-)

New cards
28

Change in enthalpy for reactions. What does it say?

It is the Hproducts-Hreactants, so how we go from products to reactants is not needed to be known.

New cards
29

Hess’s law

For any reaction that can be written in steps, the sum of standard heats of them is the same as the standard heat of rnx of the OVERALL reaction. This is useful for determining the heat of a reaction that is difficult to measure directly

New cards
30

How do do Hess’s law

Given the steps, you look at the overrall reaction and match it by altering the steps. You can either flip or divide/multiply sides to cancel certain things out or get desired values.

New cards
31

Reversing a reaction

Flipping the reaction from both sides of the arrow will require you to also flip the sign of the Delta H

New cards
32

Multiplying a reaction

When you double or cut in half the number values of a reaction(front ones) you must do the same thing to the Delta H

New cards
33

Hess’s law: Opposing sides___ and same sides____

Cancel, add up
