#1
Front (Question)

First law of thermodynamics

Back (Answer)

Conservation of energy (energy can’t be created or destroyed)

#2
Front (Question)

Second law of thermodynamics

Back (Answer)

For spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases

#3
Front (Question)

Third Law of thermodynamics

Back (Answer)

A perfect crystal at 0K has zero entropy

#4
Front (Question)

Change in internal energy equation

Back (Answer)

Δ(E) = q + w E -> change in internal energy q -> heat w –> work

#5
Front (Question)

Work

Back (Answer)

w = -PΔV (most common)

#6
Front (Question)

Gas in a piston: transfer of heat

Back (Answer)

locks piston

#7
Front (Question)

Expanding gases

Back (Answer)

Cool

#8
Front (Question)

Compressing gases

Back (Answer)

Warm

#9
Front (Question)

Isobaric

Back (Answer)

( ΔP = 0) constant pressure

#10
Front (Question)

Isochoric

Back (Answer)

(ΔV = 0) so w=0 Constant volume

#11
Front (Question)

Isothermal

Back (Answer)

(ΔT = 0 so ΔE = 0) Constant temperature

#12
Front (Question)

Adiabatic

Back (Answer)

(q=0) No heat

#13
Front (Question)

Expansion

Back (Answer)

Increase in volume, no work

#14
Front (Question)

Compression

Back (Answer)

Decrease in volume, increase work

#15
Front (Question)

Are heat and work state functions?

Back (Answer)

No

#16
Front (Question)

State Functions

Back (Answer)

independent of pathway (only cares for initial & final states)

#17
Front (Question)

Entropy (S): phases of matter, from low to high

Back (Answer)

s

#18
Front (Question)

Enthalpy (H): Exothermic & Endothermic

Back (Answer)

Exothermic: (ΔH 0) surroundings get cold

#19
Front (Question)

Bonded atoms have ________ energy

Back (Answer)

lower

#20
Front (Question)

Bonds breaking is

Back (Answer)

endothermic

#21
Front (Question)

Bond making is

Back (Answer)

exothermic

#22
Front (Question)

ΔH =

Back (Answer)

∑D(broken) - ∑D(formed)

#23
Front (Question)

Catabolism

Back (Answer)

Exothermic

#24
Front (Question)

Anabolism

Back (Answer)

Endothermic
