#1
Front (Question)

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

Back (Answer)

∆U = Q - W U = change in internal energy Q = heat added W = work done

#2
Front (Question)

____________ processes occur when the system’s temperature is constant.

Back (Answer)

isothermal

#3
Front (Question)

When U is constant, change in U is 0 and the first law simplifies to what?

Back (Answer)

Q = W heat added equals work done by system

#4
Front (Question)

____________ processes occur when no heat is exchanged between the system and the environment. The thermal energy of the system is constant.

Back (Answer)

adiabatic

#5
Front (Question)

In adiabatic processes, Q = 0 and the first law simplifies to what?

Back (Answer)

∆U = -W change in internal energy of system = work done on the system

#6
Front (Question)

____________ processes occur when the pressure of the system is constant. Does not alter first law.

Back (Answer)

isobaric

#7
Front (Question)

________________ processes experience no change in volume. No work is performed, so first law is:

Back (Answer)

isovolumetric; ∆U = Q

#8
Front (Question)

What is a common method for supplying energy for nonspontaneous reactions?

Back (Answer)

Coupling nonspontaneous reactions to spontaneous ones

#9
Front (Question)

What are the state functions? When I’m under pressure and feeling dense, all I want to do is w When I’m under pressure and feeling dense, all I want to do is watch TVand get HUGS

Back (Answer)

Pressure, density, temperature, volume, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, entropy

#10
Front (Question)

State functions describe what?

Back (Answer)

The system in equilibrium state

#11
Front (Question)

Standard conditions have been defined for measuring enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. What are they?

Back (Answer)

25°C 1 atm pressure 1 M concentrations used for kinetics, eq, and thermodynamics

#12
Front (Question)

Liquid to gase phase is known as ________________

Back (Answer)

evaporation, or vaporization

#13
Front (Question)

When liquid loses a high-energy particle, the temperature of the remaining liquid ____________.

Back (Answer)

decreases

#14
Front (Question)

Boiling can only occur ________ the boiling point of a liquid and involves vaporization through the entire volume of the liquid.

Back (Answer)

above

#15

Back (Answer)

boiling

#17
Front (Question)

Transition from solid to liquid is ________

Back (Answer)

fusion, or melting

#18

#21
Front (Question)

The ____________ point is the temperature and pressure above which there is no distinction between the phases. This is where the phase boundary between gas and liquid terminate.
