Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
energy   the ability to do work or produce heat  
🗑
potential energy   energy due to position or composition  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy due to the motion of the object  
🗑
law of conservation of energy   energy can be converted from one form to another but can be neither created nor destroyed  
🗑
frictional heating   energy transferred to a surface as heat  
🗑
state function   a property of a system that does not depend on the pathway  
🗑
temperature   a measure of the random motions (average kinetic energy) of the components of a substance  
🗑
heat   flow of energy due to temperature difference  
🗑
thermal energy   the random motions of the components of an object  
🗑
heat energy   the way in which thermal energy is transferred from a hotter object to a colder object  
🗑
thermodynamics   study of energy  
🗑
first law of thermodynamics   the energy of the universe is constant (aka the law of conservation of energy)  
🗑
internal energy (E)   the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the "particles" in the system  
🗑
system   the part of the universe on which we wish to focus attention  
🗑
surroundings   includes everything else in the universe  
🗑
exothermic   refers to a process in which energy (as heat) flows out of the system and into the surroundings (i.e. heat released)  
🗑
endothermic   refers to a process in which energy (as heat) flows out of the surroundings into the system (heat is absorbed)  
🗑
calorimetry   the study of heat transferred in a chemical reaction  
🗑
calorimeter   an insulated apparatus containing a liquid reservoir in which the ration occurs  
🗑
calorie   the amount of energy (heat) needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius  
🗑
Joule   1 calorie = 4.184 joules  
🗑
heat capacity (C)   the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance 1 degree celsius  
🗑
specific heat capacity   the amount of energy required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1 degree celsius  
🗑
thermochemistry   the study of energy changes that occur during chemical reactions and changes in state  
🗑
enthalpy (H)   the energy (heat) flow of a system at constant pressure  
🗑
thermochemical equation   a chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change  
🗑
heat of reaction   enthalpy change/heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction (depends on the stoichiometry of the reaction), reported as *triangle* H  
🗑
heat of combustion   heat of reaction for the complete burning of one mole of a substance  
🗑
molar heat of fusion   heat absorbed by 1 mol of a substance in freezing at a constant temperature  
🗑
molar heat of solidification   the heat released by 1 mol of a substance in freezing at a constant temperature  
🗑
molar heat of vaporization   the amount of heat required to vaporize one mole of a given liquid at a constant temperature  
🗑
molar heat of condensation   the amount of heat released when one mole of a vapor condenses at its normal boiling point  
🗑
molar heat of solution   the enthalpy change caused by the dissolution of one mole of substance  
🗑
hess's law   the change in enthalpy going from a given set of reactants to a given set of products does not depend on the number of steps in the reaction  
🗑
hess's law of heat summation   if you add two or more thermochemical equations to give a final equation, then you can also add the heats of reaction to give the final heat of reaction  
🗑
standard heat of formation   the change in enthalpy that accompanies the formation of one mole of a compound from its elements with all substances in their standard states  
🗑
entropy   a measure of disorder or randomness  
🗑
second law of thermodynamics   the entropy of the universe is always increasing  
🗑


   

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.
