This quantity, equal to ½mv², increases for gas molecules as temperature rises.
What is the Kinetic Energy
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on this single variable, not on pressure or volume.
What is the temperature in Kelvins.
Hand warmers work because sodium acetate reacts with oxygen in this slow exothermic process.
What is oxidation?
This term refers to a process that occurs without the transfer of heat or matter between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings.
What is an adiabatic?
In kinetic theory, gas molecules are assumed to undergo these types of collisions.
What are perfectly elastic collisions
At low temperatures, this type of an ideal gas, like helium or argon, has an internal energy of 3/2 nRT because its molecules can only move in three translational directions.
What are monoatomic gases?
The plant matter rots generating this.
What is Methane and heat. Greenhouse gases and heat.
People thought you could turn iron and lead into a precious commodity.
What is gold?
This thermodynamic state function, defined as H -TS
determines the spontaneity of a reaction at constant temperature and pressure.
What is Gibb's free energy?
By removing the work done at constant pressure from the total energy of a gas, we get this.
What is enthalpy?
A bunny carries out cellular respiration, breaking down sugars in its cells. This reaction is ---------------.
C6H12O6 (aq) +6O2 (g) --> 6CO2 (g)+6H2O(g) +2840 kJ/mol
What is an exothermic reaction.
This driving force causes double replacement reactions to occur.
What are collisions and lowering of potential energy?
This specific quantity, often denoted as 'w', represents the energy transferred by a system to its surroundings through a mechanism such as a moving piston.
What is work done by the system?
At the same temperature, molecules of a lighter gas move faster than a heavier one because both have the same average value of this quantity
What is root mean square velocity.
H2C2 (g) + HCl (aq) --> H2C2.HCl (aq)
The standard enthalpies of formation (
Delta H^0)
for each of the compounds are:
C2H2 = 227.4 kJ/mol
HCl= - 92.3 kJ/mol
H2C2HCl = 37.3 kJ/mol
The change in the heat is equal to this value.
What is -97.8 kJ/mol
What is thermochemistry.
Balance the equation:
Fe + O₂ → Fe3O4 (s)
3Fe (s) + 2O₂ (g) → Fe3O4 (s)
The Carnot cycle consists of four processes: two adiabatic ones and two of this type, where temperature remains constant.
What are isothermal processes?
The average distance a molecule travels between collisions limits how efficiently a gas conducts heat.
What is mean free path
A hot glass jar shattered when plunged into cold water because this property means heat can't move through the glass fast enough, creating uneven contraction
What is thermal transfer, or heat transfer, or thermal conductivity?
A metal reacts with an acid, producing hydrogen gas and a different solid compound. What type of reaction is this?
What account number does expense accounts belong in?
This has to be constant for a process to occur when the enthalpy change is a measure of the heat change accompanying the process?
What is Pressure?
According to kinetic theory, the thermal conductivity of an ideal gas depends on temperature but is independent of this variable, which might seem counterintuitive.
What is the pressure.
When the heat transfer due to convection, conduction and radiation stops.
What is at thermal equilibrium
In an exothermic reaction, the energy needed to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when these are formed in the products
What are new bonds?
The moles of water produced in the following reaction will be:C2H5NO2 + O2 --> CO2+H2O+N2
What is 10 mols of H2O?
The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends only on these two external values, not on the working substance used.
What are the temperatures of the reservoire?
When two gases at two different temperatures are allowed to mix, and the net exchange of kinetic energy due to collisions =0. The gases have achieved this state.
What is a thermal equilibrium.
For any strong acid–strong base reaction, this quantity is roughly -57 kJ/mol of water formed, because the net ionic reaction is always the same: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.
What is the heat of neutralization.
On an energy diagram for an exothermic reaction, the products sit lower than the reactants, meaning this thermodynamic quantity has a negative value.

What is enthalpy?
The molecular equation for double replacement reaction of lithium phosphate reacting with zinc sulfate.
Li3PO4 + ZnSO4 -> Li2SO4 +Zn3(PO4)2
The total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time - a statement of this law.
What is the second law of thermodynamics.
