enthalpy
energy
our best friend
chemical bonds
What are the two ways that internal energy can be transferred?
by pressure, or by volume change
by conduction, or by convection
by heat, or by work
by radiation, or by absorption
Work is energy transferred to the motion of ___

objects
humans
Heat is energy transferred to the motion of ___
trebuchets
atoms and molecules

For any given change in energy, the amount of heat or work done depends on ___
only the starting state
only the ending state
only the starting state and the ending state
the pathway taken
Change in energy is independent of the pathway. We call that ___
a "state function"
an "independent function"
a "pathway function"
a "universal constant"
To calculate a change in energy, the only thing that matters is ___
the path taken
the starting state
the ending state
the starting state and the ending state
Since energy, like volume, is a state function, we can very easily talk about the ___
initial energy
final energy
total energy
change in energy
What state function is based on the loss or gain of heat in a chemical reaction?
energy
enthalpy
entropy
volume
Which letter is used to represent enthalpy in an equation?
capital Q
lowercase t
capital H
lowercase e
We're not really interested in the total enthalpy of the system, which is good, because it's ___
the same as entropy
boring to calculate
not clearly defined
impossible to measure
When calculating the change in enthalpy of a system, we assume that pressure ___
is constant
only increases
only decreases
is negigable
After making two simplifying assumptions, change in enthalpy is equal to ___
pressure-volume work
pressure on the Earth's surface
the heat gained or lost by the system
the internal energy of the system
When a reaction takes place and enthalpy changes, that heat is transferring into or out of ___
chemical bonds
the nuclei of atoms
a hand warmer
newly created particles
Which science involves measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction?
stoichiometry
calorimetry
photolithography
metrology
Which Russian-Swiss doctor and chemist developed a fundamental law of thermochemistry?
Robert Bunsen
Dmitri Mendeleev

Hess's law says that the total enthalpy change for a reaction only depends on ___
the pathway it takes
its initial and final states
its initial state
its final state
