1 of 27
Temperature...
A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
2 of 27
Internal energy...
The total amount of energy (kinetic and potential) in a sample of a substance
3 of 27
Exothermic reaction...
A reaction where heat energy is transferred from a system to its surroundings
4 of 27
Endothermic reaction...
A reaction where a system takes in heat energy from the surroundings
5 of 27
Enthalpy change...
The amount of heat energy taken in or given out in a reaction
6 of 27
Enthalpy...
The total energy stored in a substance
7 of 27
