Term
Definition
Thermochemistry   The branch of chemistry pertaining to TEMPERATURE CHANGES and HEAT TRANSFER of both physical processes and chemical reactions.  
🗑
Heat (Delta H)   A measure of both the speed & quantity of particles (total energy) measured in Joules (J) heat is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object  
🗑
Heating + Cooling curves   The nature of water. Water has the chemical formula H2O and has a bent molecular structure, resulting in the molecule being POLAR.  
🗑
Why are water molecules attracted to one another?   Due to polarity (Hydrogen bonds)  
🗑
Water heating curve (s)   -100 - 0  
🗑
Water heating curve (s-> 1) melting   0-0  
🗑
Water heating curve (1)   0->100  
🗑
Water heating curve (1->g) boiling   100-100  
🗑
Water heating curve (g)   100->200+  
🗑
Water cooling curve (g)   200-100  
🗑
Water cooling curve (g->1) condensing   100->100  
🗑
Water cooling curve (1)   100->0  
🗑
Water cooling curve (1->s) freezing   0->0  
🗑
Water cooling curve (s)   0-> -100  
🗑
Melting & Freezing   Delt.H - HfusM  
🗑
Boiling and Condensing   Delt.H = HvapM  
🗑
Heating & Cooling   Delt.H=mcDelt.T  
🗑
Delta H   Heat (J)  
🗑
Hfus   Heat of fusion (J/G)  
🗑
Hvap   Heat of vaporization (J/g)  
🗑
M   Mass (g)  
🗑
C   Specific heat capacity (J/g C)  
🗑
Delta T   Temperature change (Final tmp - initial temp)  
🗑
Endothermic reaction   Delt.H is written as a reactant ; positive  
🗑
Exothermic reaction   Delt. H is written as a product ; negative  
🗑
Heat of reaction   The amount of energy released or absorbed by a chemical reaction  
🗑
Enthalpy   at constant, pressure the heat of reaction  
🗑
delta H   The total energy of bonds broken - total energy of bonds formed  
🗑
heat of formation   heat released or absorbed when one mole of a compound is formed by a combo of its elements  
🗑
heat of a reaction is also..   the total of heats of formation of products minus the heats of the formation of the reactants  
🗑
steps need to be reversed sometimes...   can be multiplied by a constant or a step can be reversed  
🗑
if step multiplied by a #   DELTA H is also multiplied by that number  
🗑
if step is reversed   the sign of delta h is also reversed  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
