Open system - Answers mass/matter as well as energy can flow in and out of the system
closed system - Answers mass/matter can not flow into the system but energy can flow in and out of the
system
isolated system - Answers nothing can enter or leave the system
what is the difference between state and path function - Answers State function depend only on the
initial and final states but not the path taken while a path function requires multiple steps and proofs to
get to the final state

endothermic reaction - Answers energy entering the system
exothermic reaction - Answers energy leaving the system
when bonds are being formed - Answers energy is released
when bonds are being broken - Answers energy is required
entropy - Answers measure of possible arrangements
2nd law of thermodynamics - Answers for any change in total energy there much be an increase in
entropy
what unit is used to show entropy - Answers delta S
what happens to delta S as you increase more molecules - Answers it increases
why does energy move from hot to cold - Answers because once energy is transferred to equilibrium.
there are more possible arrangements
what state has the most distinguishable arrangements - Answers gas because there are no interactions
and its random
what has a higher entropy? water freezing or ice melting - Answers ice melting because there are more
possible arrangements due to more molecules and less interactions
does entropy have to increase in the system a process to exist - Answers no, it just has to occur in that
universe. either system or surroundings
how do you calculate Snet total - Answers Ssytem + Ssurroundings
what has the highest Hvap - Answers the molecules with more hydrogen bonds because more energy is
need to overcome the IMF's
