Document Summary
The science of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. Thermochemistry: area of thermodynamics, the study of the heat absorbed or evolved by a chemical reaction. The energy associated with an object by virtue of its motion. Amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 c. The energy an object has by virtue of its position in a field of force. mgh. The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles making up a substance. Energy may be converted from one form to another, but the total quantity of energy remains constant. The substance of mixture or substances that are the focus of a study. Everything in the vicinity of the thermodynamic system. An energy transfer into or out of a thermodynamic system whose effect on the surroundings is equivalent to moving an object through a field of force.
