Thermal energy / Heat
the average kinetic energy of the particles inside
1 of 21
Heat capacity
the capacity or absorbing ability a system has for heat energy
2 of 21
Specific heat capacity
the amount of energy that the given mass of a substance can absorb to produce 1C increase in temperature
3 of 21
Enthalpy
the change from chemical energy to heat energy
4 of 21
Enthalpy of fusion
The energy required to overcome the forces holding the particles together in a solid. Always endothermic.
5 of 21
Enthalpy of vaporation
The energy required to separate the particles in a liquid. Always endothermic.
6 of 21
Enthalpy of combustion
the energy released when 1mol of substance burns in excess oxygen
7 of 21
Enthalpy of formation
the energy change when 1mol of substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard state
8 of 21
Enthalpy of neutralization
the energy released when 1mol of water is formed by the reaction between an acid and a base in an aquas solution
9 of 21
Enthalpy of solution
the energy change when 1mol of substance is dissolved in a solution to infinite dilution
10 of 21
Enthalpy of reaction
the energy change when a reaction proceeds to completion in the stoichiometric amounts as expressed in the equation
11 of 21
Hess' Law
the enthalpy change for any chemical reaction is independent of the route, provided the starting conditions and final condition, and reactants and products, are the same
12 of 21
Bond enthalpy
the energy required to break 1mol of specific bonds in a specific molecule in gaseous state under standard conditions (particular type of bond in a unique molecule)
13 of 21
Lattice enthalpy
the energy required to break 1mol of ionic lattice into its individual constituent ions to infinite seperation
14 of 21
Average bond enthalpy
the average amount of energy needed to break a specific type of bond measured over a wide variety of different molecules
15 of 21
Standard state of a substance
the pure form of the substance under standard conditions
16 of 21
First electron affinity
the enthalpy change when 1mol of gaseous atoms attract 1mol of electrons
17 of 21
Entropy
the natural disorder of the universeS
18 of 21
Spontaneous
thermodynamically possible, but it won't necessarily happen automatically
19 of 21
Standard Gibbs Free energy formation
the free energy change that occurs when 1mol of elements is formed in standard state
20 of 21
Gibbs Free Energy
the energy which is free to do useful work rather than just leave a system as heat
