chapter 17 prentice hall- heat

QuestionAnswerQuestionAnswer
Endothermic The system gains heat as the surroundings cool down (example: someone sitting my a campfire), defined as a positive q value specific heat specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat it takes to raise the temp of 1 gram of the substance 1 degree celsius.
Exothermic loses heat as the surroundings heat up. (Example: someone running and sweating), defined as a negative q-value because the system is losing heat how to convert from joules to calories? 1 joule= 0.239 cal and 4.184 J=1 calorie
Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. heat capacity depends on the mass and chemical composition of the object. it is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the objects temp 1 deg celsius.
Heat flow measured in 2 common units: calories and the Joule. q=?,m=?,c=?,deltaT=? q=amount of heat, m=mass, c=specific heat of substance, deltaT= change in heat(final temp-initial temp)
Calorie defined as the quantity of heated needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of pure water 1 degree Celsius. device used to measure absobation or release of heat in an experiment calorimeter
C,c C=dietary calorie (equals one kilocalorie/1000 calories). c=calorie enthalpy heat content of object at constant pressure AKA q (i think)
10g of sugar has 41 calories 10g of sugar releases 41 kilocalories of heat when completely burned heat of fusion h-delta-fus (the amount of heat absorbed by one mole of a solid substance as melts to a liquid)
Equation to find amount of heat Q=m•C•deltaT heat of vaporization amount of heat needed to vaporize 1 mole of a certain liquid
Hess's law determines the heat of reaction indirectly

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
