What is calorimetry? | Measurement of heat changes |
What is the specific heat of water? | 4.184 J/g * k |

How much heat energy is needed to raise the temp of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C? | 4.184 J |
1 calorie = | 4.2 J 1 C = 1000 calories = 4200 J |
For water, 1 gram = | 1 cubic centimeter = 1 mL |
What is entropy? | Measure of disorder |
How is entropy expressed? | energy/temp = J/K (can also be expressed as molar entropy in J/mol * K) |
Rank entropies of matter states. | Entropy of gas > liquid > crystal states |
Which kinds of reactions have a greater increase in entropy? | Rxns that produce more mols of gas |
What is free energy (G)? | the energy available that can be converted to do work |
How do you calculate delta G? | delta G = delta H - T delta S T = temp in K |
What is a spontaneous rxn? | A rxn that occurs all by itself |
Do spontaneous rxn have pos or neg delta G? | negative |
Should you assume that exothermic rxns are spontaneous? Why or why not? | No, b/c a large, negative delta S can cause it to be nonspontaneous |
Should you assume that an endothermic rxn is nonspontaneous? Why or why not? | No, b/c a large, positive delta S can make it spontaneous |
Should you assume that spontaneous reactions will occur quickly? Why or why not? | No, b/c it may take a million years for it to happen, depending on its kinetics |
What law deals with the concept of temperature? | The zeroth law of thermodynamics |
What does the 0th law of thermodynamics say? | heat flows from hot objects to cold objects to achieve thermal equilibrium |
What is the first law of thermodynamics formula? | delta E = q + w |
What does the first law of thermodynamics say? | conservation of energy the change in total internal energy in a system is equal to the contributions from heat and work |
What is delta E the same as? | delta U, which is the change in internal energy |
What is Q? | the contribution from heat |
When is Q positive? | when heat is absorbed into the system (ie. heating it) |
When is Q negative? | when heat leaks out of the system (ie. cooling it) |
What is W? | the contribution from work |
When is W positive? | when work is done on the system (ie. compression) |
When is W negative? | when work is done by the system (ie. expansion) |
All energy, potential, kinetic, etc has what unit? | Joules |
Can energy be equivalent in different forms. | Yes For example, 1 Joule of mechanical enegy can be converted into 1 Joule of electrical energy (ignoring heat loss). |
What does the second law of thermodynamics say? | things like to be in a state of higher entropy and disorder |
What will happen to the entropy in an isolated system over time? | it will increase |
What happens when an open system decreases in entropy? | It does so at the expense of a greater increase in entropy of its surroundings. |
Is the universe as a whole increasing or decreasing in entropy? | increasing B/C of the irreversibility nature of real processes, as long as anything occurs, the entropy of the universe increases. |
delta S is greater than or equal to what? | q/T |
What is q? | the heat transferred |
For reversible processes delta S equals what? | q/T |
For irreversible processes delta S is > than what? | q/T |

What are other names for heat of fusion? | latent heat of fusion, enthalpy of fusion, |

Can latent heats be expressed as J/mass? | Yes. Energy can be obtained by multiplying the latent heats by the mass of the substance. |
Is energy released when a gas condenses into a liquid, or when a liquid freezes into a solid? | Yes. The energy released is the same as the energy of their reverse processes. |

What do the terms in colorimetry formula represent? | q = heat absorbed/heat input m = mass c = specific heat |
The colorimetry formula only works when? Why? | when no phase change is involved. Different phases have diff. specific heats, and a phase change requires extra energy such as heat of fusion or heat of vaporization. |
How do you work problems that involve phase changes? | use the calorimetry equation individually for the different phases. Then take the heat of fusion or vaporization into account. |
