CHEM 6 PT

        Help!  

Term
Definition
thermochemistry   The branch of chemistry that studies the heat transfers that accompany chemical or physical changes  
🗑
Factors that affect reaction rate   the temperature of the system, the concentration of the reactants, the inherent properties of the reactants, the presence of a catalyst, and the surface area of the reactants  
🗑
Factors that don't affect reaction rate   the reaction's color, the reaction's force, the experiment's location, and the container used  
🗑
enthalpy   The total amount of energy in a thermodynamic system  
🗑
reaction mechanism   The overall sequence of steps that composes a chemical reaction  
🗑
activated complex   A transitional substance that results when a reactant bonds are broken, and persists while product bonds are being formed  
🗑
calorimetry   The measurement of enthalpy changes caused by chemical reactions, changes of state, or the formation of a solution  
🗑
reaction spontaneity   A reaction's tendency to occur without an outside force or energy being applied to sustain the reaction  
🗑
Chemical thermodynamics   the study of the relationship between heat and work within chemical reactions or physical changes of state  
🗑
standard molar enthalpy of formation   the amount of heat energy transferred when one mole of a compound is formed from its component elements in their standard states  
🗑
first law of thermodynamics   The law that states a thermodynamic system's total amount of energy remains constant, is also called the law of conservation of energy.  
🗑
standard state   A substance's state, solid, liquid, or gas, at room temperature (25°C or 298 K) and a pressure of 100 kPa  
🗑
Gibbs free energy   The type of free energy that is a thermodynamic function and measures a system's capacity to perform work  
🗑
entropy   a measure of the energy unavailable to perform work, is also the measure of randomness, or disorder, of a thermodynamic system  
🗑
spontaneous reaction   a chemical reaction in which the reactants are converted into products without the constant addition of energy from outside the thermodynamic system to sustain the reaction  
🗑
Rules that apply to Hess's law   CHECK Q2  
🗑
Statements that don't apply to hess's law   "No thermochemical equation can ever be reversed to calculate enthalpy, even if the value is changed" and "If a reaction contains intermediate steps, the overall enthalpy is equal to the last step where the enthalpy changed."  
🗑
Activation energy   The minimum amount of energy needed to begin a chemical reaction  
🗑
reaction rate   The change in concentration of reactants or products in a chemical reaction per unit of time.  
🗑
reaction kinetics   The field of chemistry that deals with reaction mechanisms and reaction rates.  
🗑
Standard molar enthalpy of reaction   the amount of heat transferred when the number of moles of reactants specified in a chemical equation is completely converted into products.  
🗑
Standard molar enthalpy of combustion   The amount of heat transferred during the complete combustion of one mole of a reactants in its standard state.  
🗑
Hess's Law   The overall enthalpy change in a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or a series of steps.  
🗑
Law of conservation of energy   The total amount of energy in a thermodynamic system remains constant.  
🗑


   

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.
