Unit3_Lesson1:Thermo
Intro to Thermochemistry, calorimetry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| thermochemistry | the study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and changes in state |
| heat | represented by q, energy that transfers from one object to another because of a temperature difference between them |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | in any chemical or physical process, energy is neither created or destroyed |
| endothermic | a process where the system gains heat as the surroundings cool down |
| exothermic | a process where the system loses heat as the surroundings heat up |
| heat capacity | the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object by exactly 1 degree C |
| specific heat | the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree C |
