Question
Answer
extensive properties   properties that are proportional to the size of the system  
🗑
intensive properties   properties that are independent of the system  
🗑
state function   pathway independent, the state property going from 1 state to another is the same regardless how system was changed  
🗑
heat   movement of energy via conduction, convection, or radiation - always from hot to cold  
🗑
convection   thermal energy transfer via fluid movements  
🗑
radiation   thermal energy transfer via electromagnetic waves, related t T^4  
🗑
conduction   thermal energy transfer via molecular collisions - requires contact  
🗑
PV work   W = P*deltaV (constant pressure)`  
🗑
1st law of thermodynamics   energy of the system and surroundings is always conserved, any energy change must equal heat flow into system plus the work delta(E) = q + w (work on the system is positive)  
🗑
2nd law of thermodynamics   heat cannot be changed completely into work in a cyclical process entropy of isolated system will never decrease  
🗑
carnot efficiency   e = 1 - Tc/Th  
🗑
internal energy   collectve energy of molecules measured on a microscopic scale, often referred to as heat, thermal energy, state function  
🗑
zeroth law of thermodynamics   two bodies in thermal equilibrium share a thermodynamic property - which is a state function -- TEMPERATURE EXISTS  
🗑
KEavg =   =3/2*kT where k is Boltzman constant  
🗑
enthalpy   manmade property that accounts for extra capacity to to PV work, defined as H = U + PV, not conserved like energy, not constant (of the universe), state function  
🗑
change in enthalpy at constant pressure   delta(H) = delta(U) + P*delta(V)  
🗑
standard enthalpy of formation   change in enthalpy for rxn that creates 1 mole of a cmpd from raw elements in their standard state  
🗑
if gas is not part of the rxn, the enthalpy change is...   equal to the heat, which in the absense of work is equal to a change in energy  
🗑
heat of rxn   delta(Hrxn) = delta(Hf of products) - delta(Hf of reactants)  
🗑
Hess' law   when you add rxns, you can add their enthalpies; also, forward rxn = neg of reverse rxn  
🗑
exothermic rxns have a positive or negative enthalpy   negative  
🗑
endothermic have a positive or negative enthalpy   postive  
🗑
if gas is not part of the rxn, the enthalpy change is...   equal to the heat, which in the absense of work is equal to a change in energy  
🗑
heat of rxn   delta(Hrxn) = delta(Hf of products) - delta(Hf of reactants)  
🗑
Hess' law   when you add rxns, you can add their enthalpies; also, forward rxn = neg of reverse rxn  
🗑
exothermic rxns have a positive or negative enthalpy   negative  
🗑
endothermic have a positive or negative enthalpy   postive  
🗑
if gas is not part of the rxn, the enthalpy change is...   equal to the heat, which in the absense of work is equal to a change in energy  
🗑
heat of rxn   delta(Hrxn) = delta(Hf of products) - delta(Hf of reactants)  
🗑
Hess' law   when you add rxns, you can add their enthalpies; also, forward rxn = neg of reverse rxn  
🗑
exothermic rxns have a positive or negative enthalpy   negative  
🗑
endothermic have a positive or negative enthalpy   postive  
🗑
if gas is not part of the rxn, the enthalpy change is...   equal to the heat, which in the absense of work is equal to a change in energy  
🗑
heat of rxn   delta(Hrxn) = delta(Hf of products) - delta(Hf of reactants)  
🗑
Hess' law   when you add rxns, you can add their enthalpies; also, forward rxn = neg of reverse rxn  
🗑
exothermic rxns have a positive or negative enthalpy   negative  
🗑
endothermic rxns have a positive or negative enthalpy   positive  
🗑
entropy   nature's tendency to create the most probable situation that can occur w/in a situation, state f(x), extensivy property (increases w/ amt of substance)  
🗑
delta(Suniverse)   >=0 = delta(Ssystem) + delta(Ssurroundings)  
🗑
entropy of system can decrease only if   at the same time, the entropy of the surroundings increase by a greater or equal magnitude  
🗑
ideal reactions create how much entropy change?   zero - meaning they are reversible  
🗑
if a rxn is unfavorable in terms of enthalpy, but increases entropy, will the rxn occur?   yes, entropy is the driving force that dictates whether or not it will proceed  
🗑
3rd law of thermodynamics   assigns by convention a zero entropy value to any pure substance at absolute zero and in internal equilibrium  
🗑
units of entropy?   J/K  
🗑
change in entropy related to heat eqn   delta(S) = dqrev/T where dqrev is the infinitesimal change in heat per kelvin  
🗑
Gibb's free energy   delta(G) = delta(H) - T*delta(S) (all of the system not surroundings), extensive property, state function, represents maximum non-PV work available from rxn  
🗑
when delta(G) is negative…   the rxn is spontaneous  
🗑
with +delta(H) and -delta(S), delta(G) will be..   positive  
🗑
with -delta(H) and +delta(S), delta(G) will be…   negative  
🗑
what is value of gibb's free energy at equilibrium?   zero  
🗑
when both enthalpy and entropy are the same sign, free energy will be..   positive or negative, therefore spontaneity of rxn will depend on the temperature  
🗑
