Ecific heat
S=q/m△t, q=ms△t
Heat capacity
C=q/△t, q=c△t
Coffe cup calorimetry
Sm= (-mw)(sw)(△tw)/(mm)(△tm)
qwater=-qmetal
Coffee cup calorimetry part 2
1. Qsolid=(-maq )(saq) (△taq)
2. Qsolid=-qaq
In coffee calorimetry, in increase in temperature
Means the reaction was "exothermic" and is negative.
In coffee calorimetry, if the temperature drops during the reaction,
Then the reaction must be endothermic and is positive.
System does work on surroundings (releases energy)
-w
Surroundings does work on system (absorbs energy)
+w
Exothermic
Releases heat, -q
Endothermic
Absorbs heat, +q
Work
Transfer of energy from one form to another
Heat
Total kinetic energy that gets transferred from one substance/object to another
Potential energy
Stored energy
Kinetic energy

Energy of motion
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Relationship between energy, heat, and work
△e=q+w
Energy as a product
Exothermic
Energy as a reactant
Endothermic
System
The "thing" being studied
Surroundings
The rest of the universe
What atoms can form expanded octets?
S, p, si, cl
How do you find the best lewis structure? How do you know which lewis structures have
resonance?
-the best lewis structure would be the lewis structure with the fewest charges possible
-if they have nonzero formal charges on one or two atoms in a lewis structure. If it is
neutral, it does not have a resonance
Resonance structures
A set of structures that show how electrons are distributed. Used when a single lewis
structure is insufficient
How do you find the average charge of an atom on a lewis structure?
#of atoms the (-) or (+) is on/total atoms of the lewis structure

Counts as one
