Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

Extensive properties

Back (Answer)

Capacity factors Depend on the amount of matter present in terms of mass They are equal to the sum of the parts/ additive EX: total volume/total energy of a system

#2
Front (Question)

State properties

Back (Answer)

Defines state of a system Properties are interrelated Does not depend on path taken Temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy

#3
Front (Question)

Path functions

Back (Answer)

Such as heat (Q) and work (W). Path dependent properties I exact differentials

#4
Front (Question)

Intensive properties

Back (Answer)

Intensity factor do not depend on the quantity of material present I.e. Temperature, viscosity, molar volume, density, pressure, refractive index At equilibrium they are the same for every pet of the system

#5
Front (Question)

Equation of state

Back (Answer)

Equation that relates the thermodynamic properties of a system in a state of equilibrium Simplest: PV = nRT

#6
Front (Question)

State of equilibrium

Back (Answer)

Thermal equilibrium Mechanical equilibrium Chemical equilibrium

#7
Front (Question)

Chemical equilibrium

Back (Answer)

The chemical composition of the system does not vary

#8
Front (Question)

Mechanical equilibrium

Back (Answer)

The pressure is the same everywhere in the system

#9
Front (Question)

Isobaric

Back (Answer)

Occurring at constant pressure Constant P

#10
Front (Question)

Isochoric

Back (Answer)

Occurring at constant volume Constant V

#11
Front (Question)

Isothermal

Back (Answer)

Occurring at constant temperature Constant T

#12
Front (Question)

Adiabatic

Back (Answer)

Occurring with no exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings Q = 0

#13
Front (Question)

Cyclic

Back (Answer)

Initial state = final state

#14
Front (Question)

Adiabatic processes

Back (Answer)

Is enclosed by an adiabatic boundary = temperature is independent of its surroundings Never achieves thermal equilibrium with its surroundings I.e. Flow of heat through the boundary = 0

#15
Front (Question)

Ideal gas

Back (Answer)

Composed of gases in random motion Collision are perfectly elastic Molecules don’t attract each other U depend only on T and # of molecules

#16
Front (Question)

Internal energy (U)

Back (Answer)

Sum of the energies of the sons Titus the molecules

#17
Front (Question)

Van der Waals Equation

Back (Answer)

((P+an^2)/V^2) (V-nb) = nRT a = constant for force of interactions b/w gas particles b = constant for excluded volume

#18
Front (Question)

Work and heat

Back (Answer)

Delta U = Q + W

#19
Front (Question)

Work

Back (Answer)

W = -Pext (Vf-Vi) Involves the movement of matter W = PdV for reversible processes

#20
Front (Question)

Heat

Back (Answer)

Is thermal energy that flows from a hot body to a cold one Stored as kinetic and potential energy

#21
Front (Question)

If Q is added to a system

Back (Answer)

Q = (+)

#22
Front (Question)

Heat is removed from a system

Back (Answer)

Q = (-)

#23
Front (Question)

If work is done on a system

Back (Answer)

W = (+)

#24
Front (Question)

If work is done by a system

Back (Answer)

W = (-)
