calorimetry where the pressure stays constant during the process eg coffee cup calorimetry
Back
calorimeter
Front
device used to experimentally measure the heat associated with a chemical reaction
Back
standard enthalpy of formation
Front
the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of a compound at 25 C from its elements, with all substances in their standard states at that temperature
Back
first law of thermodynamics
Front
the energy of the universe is constant; same as the law of conversation of energy
Back
surroundings
Front
everything in the universe surrounding a thermodynamic system
Back
heat
Front
energy transferred between two objects due to a temperature difference between them
Back
Hess's Law
Front
in going from a particular set of reactants to a particular set of products, the enthalpy change is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps; in summary - enthalpy is a state function
Back
kinetic energy
Front
energy due to the motion of an object; 1/2 mv2
Back
calorimetry
Front
the science of measuring heat flow
Back
heat capacity
Front
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by 1 degree Celsius
Back
constant-volume calorimetry
Front
calorimetry where the volume stays constant during the process eg bomb calorimeter
Back
work
Front
force acting over a distance
Back
exothermic
Front
refers to a reaction where energy (as heat) flows out of the system
Back
thermodynamics
Front
the study of energy and its interconversions
Back
internal energy
Front
a property of a system that can be changed by a flow of work, heat, or both;
Back
molar heat capacity
Front
the energy required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by one degree Celsius
Back
standard state
Front
a reference state for a specific substance defined according to a set of conventional definitions p 260
Back
endothermic
Front
refers to a reaction where energy (as heat) flows into the system
Back
pathway
Front
the route taken by the system to get to its current state
Back
system
Front
that part of the universe on which attention is to be focused
Back
law of conservation of energy
Front
energy can be converted from one form to another but can be neither created nor destroyed
Back
potential energy
Front
energy due to position or composition
Back
specific heat capacity
Front
the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius
Back
enthalpy
Front
a property of a system equal to E + PV where E is the internal energy, P is the pressure, and V is the volume. At constant P the change in enthalpy equals the energy flow as heat
