kinetic energy or energy that is in motion potential energy or stored energy |
How is heat measured? |
Heat, q, is measured in calories and in a hot to cold flow |

What is Hess's Law or calculating Enthalpy? |
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. |
What is spontaneity? |
Something which occurs without outside intervention |
What is entropy? |
Entropy is a factor that helps determine if something will be spontaneous. |
What is ΔS? |
This is the molecular randomness or disorder. When it is positive, there is more disorder, and when it is negative, there is less order. |
How do you predict changes in spontaneity? |
1. Changes in state *s -> l ΔS = + *g -> l ΔS = - 2. Dissolving gas *ΔS = - 3. Increasing the number of gas particles *ΔS = + 4. Dissolving solid *ΔS = + 5. Increasing temperature *ΔS = + |

Free energy is whether or not something is spontaneous ΔG = ΔH - TΔS |
What is equilibrium? |
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? |
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 |
What is dynamic balance? |
Dynamic Balance is where there is no change that is apparent with the motion of the reaction because of the change in rate. |
What is the equilibrium's constant and expression? |
jA + kB ;-; lC + mD K=[C]l[D]m/[A]j[B]k |
What happens with constants for homogeneous equilibria and heterogeneous equilibria? |
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. |
When determining the value of an equilibrium constant how do you know which way the equation goes? |
Greater than 1 is to the right Less that 1 is to the left 1 is equal equilibrium |
What is Le Chatelier's Principle and how do you determine the left and right arrows? |
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. |
What are the steps to finding solubility? |
1. Write the equation 2. Write the Ksp;expression 3. Make all [] into x's 4. Fill in the Ksp value using the table |
What is Ksp and what is it used for? |
This is the equation that is used to find the solubility of an ionic compound in water at room temperature |
What is enthalpy? |
Enthalpy is the heat content of a system at constant pressure, the amount capable of doing mechanical work |
What is the definition of free energy? |
Free energy is a system that is available to do work |
What do the Gas Laws work with and what should be assumed? |
ideal gases 1. particles have zero volume (they take up no space) 2. there is no attractive force (they don't stick) |
