25 Terms

1

Internal energy

________ is an example of a state function, a property of a system that is determined by specifying the systems condition, or state (in terms of temperature, pressure, and so forth)

2

Petroleum

________ is a liquid composed of hundreds of compounds, most of which are hydrocarbons, with the remainder being chiefly organic compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen.

New cards
3

Fossil fuels

________ and nuclear energy are nonrenewable sources of energy- they are limited resources that we are consuming at a much greater rate than they can be regenerated.

New cards
4

symbol ∆

The ________ is commonly used to denote change.

New cards
5

Pressure P

________ is always either a positive number or zero.

New cards
6

chemical reaction

In a(n) ________, the initial state of the system refers to the reactants and the final state refers to the products.

New cards
7

Natural gas

________ consists of gaseous hydrocarbons, compounds of hydrogen and carbon.

New cards
8

Glucose

________ is soluble in blood, and in the human body it is known as blood sugar.

New cards
9

real compounds

In ________, repulsions between core electrons place a lower limit on how closely the ions can approach each other.

New cards
10

∆H

Pressure can be controlled to directly measure ________ in various processes, including those in solution.

New cards
11

Energy

________ is released when chemical bonds are formed;

New cards
12

symbol Σ

The ________ (sigma) means "the sum of, "and n and m are the stoichiometric coefficients of the relevant chemical equation.

New cards
13

Fats

________ are well suited to serve as the bodys energy reserve for at least two reasons: (1) They are insoluble in water, which facilitates storage in the body, and (2) they produce more energy per gram than either proteins or carbohydrates, which makes them efficient energy sources on a mass basis.

New cards
14

Electricity

________ is typically generated by using a moving gas or liquid to turn a turbine that is connected to a generator, although there are some exceptions like solar cells.

New cards
15

carbohydrates

The ________ known as starches are decomposed in the intestines into glucose.

New cards
16

P

Where ________ is pressure and ∆V= Vfinal- Vinitial is the change in volume of the system.

New cards
17

Hesss law

________ provides a useful means of calculating energy changes that are difficult to measure directly.

New cards
18

Proteins

________ are used by the body mainly as building materials for organ walls, skin, hair, muscle, and so forth.

New cards
19

study of energy

The ________ and its transformations is known as thermodynamics (Greek: thérme,"- heat; "dynamis, "power)

New cards
20

Enthalpy

________ is an extensive property.

New cards
21

Energy changes

________ in chemical reactions can be used to transfer heat or do work.

New cards
22

Energy

________ is consumed when chemical bonds are broken.

New cards
23

Hesss law

________ states that if a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, ∆H for the overall reaction equals the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.

New cards
24

internal energy

When heat is added to a system or work is done on a system, its ________ increases.

New cards
25

exo

means "out of")
