Document Summary

Chapter 14: thermochemistry: energy, work, and heat. The transfer of energy between a reaction system and its surroundings occurs as work or heat. Chemical reactions almost always involve a transfer of energy between the reaction system and its surroundings surroundings: as work or as heat. Two ways in which energy can be transferred between a reaction system and its. Thermodynamics is the study of these energy transfers. The transfer of energy as work involves the action of a force through a distance. There(cid:495)s a minus sign because we use the convention that the work done on a system is a positive quantity. W = -pdeltav = -p(vf - vi) Exothermic reaction: a reaction that releases energy. Endothermic reaction: a reaction that absorbs energy. First law of thermodynamics: an energy balance equation and is equivalent to the law of conservation of energy. Energy change of the reaction: enthalpy. Enthalpy is defined by h = u + pv.
