question
What are the two types of energy and why are they unique?
answer

kinetic energy or energy that is in motion

potential energy or stored energy

question
How is heat measured?
answer
Heat, q, is measured in calories and in a hot to cold flow

question
What is Hess's Law or calculating Enthalpy?
answer
Hess's Law is the total enthalpy in a system is equal to the sum of the steps of the reaction.  It is a way to calculate the change in enthalpy.  The key to this is when you flip be sure to flip the sign of the ΔH as well.
question
What is spontaneity?
answer
Something which occurs without outside intervention
question
What is entropy?

What is ΔS?
answer
This is the molecular randomness or disorder.  When it is positive, there is more disorder, and when it is negative, there is less order.

answer

1. Changes in state

*s -> l ΔS = +

*g -> l ΔS = -

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

question
What is equilibrium?
answer
Equilibrium is a state of dynamic balance

What does it mean to be far right or far left and what color is each of these?
answer
To be far right means you have more products and is generally a lighter color.  To be far left means you have more reactants and is generally a darker color
question
What is dynamic balance?
answer
Dynamic Balance is where there is no change that is apparent with the motion of the reaction because of the change in rate.
question
What is the equilibrium's constant and expression?
answer

jA + kB ;-; lC + mD

K=[C]l[D]m/[A]j[B]k

question
What happens with constants for homogeneous equilibria and heterogeneous equilibria?
answer
Homogeneous equilibria is when all reactants and products are in the same physical state. ;Heterogeneous equilibria is when you should only include liquids and aqueous solutions into the expression.
question
When determining the value of an equilibrium constant how do you know which way the equation goes?
answer

Greater than 1 is to the right

Less that 1 is to the left

1 is equal equilibrium

question
What is Le Chatelier's Principle and how do you determine the left and right arrows?
answer
Le Chatelier's Principle is about disturbing equilibrium and stress that upsets a system at the equilibrium. ;You determine which way the left and right arrow should point by allowing it to be in the direction of the up arrows.
