A | B |
1st law of thermodynamics | energy can neither be created or consumed |
calorimeter | insulated container to measure change in temperature |
heat capacity | amount of energy needed to raise temp. 1 deg. C |
specific heat capacity | amount of energy neeeded to raise 1g of substance by 1 deg. C |
enthalpy (H) | equal to the heat energy transferred at constant pressure |
entropy (S) | measure of disorder or positional possibilities |
2nd law of thermodynamics | entropy of the universe is constantly increasing |
3rd law of thermodynamics | the entropy of a pure, perfectly formed crystalline substance at absolute zero is zero |
Gibbs Free Energy (G) | can be used to determine if a reaction will be spontaneous |
k | thermodynamic equilibrium constant |
