true or false: all chemical reactions involve energy changes
true
area of chemistry dealing with applying thermodynamics principles to energy changes in chemical reactions
chemical thermodynamics
ability to do work and change matter
energy
law stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
law of conservation of energy
energy of motion
kinetic energy
energy associated with the position of an object and the forces acting upon it
potential energy
the portion of the universe or the sample of matter being studied
system
everything in the universe outside the system
surroundings
sum of all the possible forms of energy of the ions, atoms, and molecules in a system
internal energy (E)
thermodynamic property whose value is determined only by the state of the system
state function
true or false: internal energy is independent of the path taken to reach a particular state and of the system’s history
true
law stating that the energy gained (or lost) by a system equals the energy lost (or gained) by the surroundings
first law of thermodynamics
transfer of energy as a result of a temperature difference
heat (Q)
transfer of energy through a force applied across a distance
work (W)
change in energy formula
ΔE = Q + W (change in energy = heat + work)
if internal energy increases, is ΔE positive or negative?
positive
if internal energy decreases, is ΔE positive or negative?
negative
unit of energy and energy transfer
Joule (J)
1 cal = how many Joules?
4.184 J
internal energy plus the product of pressure and volume
enthalpy (H)
enthalpy formula
H = E + PV
_______ describes a process in which energy is absorbed
endothermic
enthalpy increases in _______
endothermic reactions
heat is a reactant in an _________ reaction
endothermic
