Term
Definition
calorie   amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of pure water by one degree Celsius  
🗑
chemical potential energy   energy stored in a substance because of its composition; most is released or absorbed as heat during chemical reactions or processes.  
🗑
energy   capacity to do work or produce heat; exists as potential energy, whish is stored in an object due to its composition or position, and kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.  
🗑
heat   form of energy that flows from a warmer object to a cooler object.  
🗑
joule   SI unit of heat and energy  
🗑
law of conservation of energy   states that in any chemical reaction or physical process that energy may change from one form to another, but it is neither created nor destroyed  
🗑
specific heat   amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius  
🗑
calorimeter   an insulated device that is used to measure the amount of heat released or absorbed during a physical or chemical process.  
🗑
enthalpy   heat content of s system at constant pressure.  
🗑
enthalpy (heat) of reaction   change in enthalpy for a reaction- the difference between the enthalpy of the substances that exist at the end of the reaction and the enthalpy of the substances present at the start.  
🗑
surroundings   in thermochemistry, includes everything in the universe except the system.  
🗑
system   in thermochemistry, the specific part of the universe containing the reaction or process being studied.  
🗑
thermochemistry   the study of heat changes that accompany chemical reactions and phase changes  
🗑
universe   in thermochemistry, is the system plus the surroundings  
🗑
enthalpy (heat) of combustion   the enthalpy change for the complete burning of one mole of a given substance  
🗑
molar enthalpy (heat) of fusion   amount of heat required to melt one mole of a solid substance  
🗑
molar enthalpy (heat) of vaporization   amount of heat required to vaporize one mole of a liquid  
🗑
thermochemical equation   balanced chemical equation that includes the physical states of all of the reactants and the energy change, usually expressed ass the change in enthalpy.  
🗑
Hess's law   states that if two or more thermochemical equations can be added to produce a final equation for a reaction, then the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual reactions is the enthalpy change for the final reaction.  
🗑
standard enthalpy (heat) of formation   change in enthalpy the accompanies the formation of one mole of a compound in its standard state from its constituent elements in their standard states  
🗑
entropy   measure of the number of possible ways that the energy of a system can be distributed; related to the freedom of the system's particles to move and the number of ways they can be arranged.  
🗑
free energy   energy available to do work; difference between the change in enthalpy and the product of the entropy change and the kelvin temperature  
🗑
second law of thermodynamics   spontaneous processes always proceed in such a way that the entropy of the universe increases  
🗑
spontaneous process   a physical or chemical change that occurs without outside intervention and may require energy to be supplied to begin the process.  
🗑


   

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.
