Term
Definition
System   A specific amount of matter that is being studied  
🗑
Surroundings   Everything outside of the system  
🗑
Open system   A system that can transfer energy and matter to its surroundings  
🗑
Closed system   A system that can transfer energy, but not matter, to its surroundings  
🗑
Isolated system   A system that does not transfer energy or matter to its surroundings  
🗑
Work   The energy required to move and object over some distance  
🗑
Equation for work   w = (F)(d)  
🗑
Force due to gravity   F = (m)(g)  
🗑
Gravitational potential energy   w = (m)(g)(h)  
🗑
State function   The value depends only on the present state of the system, not the path it took to get there  
🗑
Endothermic   Heat flows into the system from its surroundings (+ΔE)(+ΔH)  
🗑
Exothermic   Heat flows from the system into its surroundings (-ΔE)(-ΔH)  
🗑
Internal energy (E)   The sum of all kinetic and potential energies of the components of the system  
🗑
ΔE   Change in internal energy = (initial E) - (final E)  
🗑
Relating ΔE to heat and work   ΔE = q + w  
🗑
Enthalpy (H)   A thermodynamic function used to account for the heat flow during a constant pressure process  
🗑
Equation for enthalpy   H = E + PV  
🗑
Pressure-volume work   Work performed by expansion of a gas against a resisting pressure  
🗑
P-V work when pressure is constant   w = –P ΔV  
🗑
Calorimeter   A device used to measure heat flow  
🗑
Heat capacity (C)   The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a sample of matter by 1 K  
🗑
Molar heat capacity (Cm)   The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1 K  
🗑
Specific heat (Cs)   The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1 K  
🗑
Equation for specific heat   Cs = (q)/(mΔT)  
🗑
Equation for heat gain or loss   q = m x Cs x ΔT  
🗑


   

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.
