1. What is thermo- The study of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy (particularly
dynamics? mechanical work)
2. What is thermo- The part of thermodynamics that deals with the quantity of heat given off or
chemistry? absorbed during a chemical reaction (ex. taking water and breaking down the
Hydrogen and the Oxygen and measuring the heat being absorbed or lost)
3. What is calorime- The study of the quantity of heat given off or absorbed during a physical change
try? or a temperature change (Ex. Measuring how much heat we extracted for water to
turn into ice which is a physical change)
4. What is a system? The object (or substance) that is being studied
5. What is an open An open system is one which permits the transfer of mass and energy with
system? surroundings (ex. styrofoam cup with no lid)
6. What is a closed A closed system is one which permits the transfer of energy but not mass with the
system? surroundings (ex. styrofoam cup with a lid)
7. What is an isolat- An isolated system is one which does not permit the transfer of energy or mass
ed system? with the surroundings (ex. thermos cup with a lid)
8. What is the sur- The rest of the universe interacting with the system
roundings?
9. What is energy? The potential or capacity to move matter (the ability to do work; in the unit Joule)
10. What is Work? The amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance
11. What is kinetic The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion (Joule; J)
energy?
12. What is potential The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position (Joule; J)
energy?
