Energy, Heat, Temperature, Enthalpy, and Entropy Terms

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 an object

Law of Conservation of Energy

Energy can be converted from one form to another but can be neither created nor destroyed

Work

Force acting over a distance

State functions

Property of the system that changes independently of its pathways

Temperature

Measure of the random motions of the components of a substance

Heat

The flow of energy due to a temperature difference

System

Part of the universe on which we wish to focus

Surroundings

Include everything else in the universe

Exothermic

A process that results in the evolution of heat; energy flows out

Endothermic

A process that absorbs energy from the surroundings; energy flows in

Thermodynamics

The study of energy

First Law of Thermodynamics

The energy of the universe is constant (same as the Law of Conservation Energy)

Internal energy

Sum of kinetic and potential energy of the system

?E=q+w

Change in Internal Energy

Calorie

The amount of energy (heat) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one Celsius degree

4.184J

One calorie (in joules)

Specific Heat Capacity

The amount of energy required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree

Enthalpy

A special energy function (?H) when under constant pressure, is equal to the energy that flows as heat

Calorimeter

A device used to determine the heat associated with a chemical reaction

Energy Spread

Concentrated energy is dispersed widely

Matter Spread

Molecules of a substance spread out and occupy a larger volume

Entropy

Natural tendency of the universe to become disordered (symbol is S)

Second Law of Thermodynamics

The entropy of the universe is always increasing

Gibbs Free Energy

G=H-T?S

?G=?H-T?S

Change in Free Energy

4.184J/g�C

The specific heat capacity of water

positive

In ?G=?H-T?S, when ?G is negative, ?S is ________.

negative

In ?G=?H-T?S, when ?S is positive, ?G is ________.
