Study Notes

Measurement

The number of copper atoms in a penny is approximately 28,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (2.8 x 10^22)
Measurements typically involve a numerical value, a unit of measurement, and an estimate of uncertainty.
Significant figures in a measurement represent the meaningful digits, with the last digit being uncertain.
The International System of Units (SI units) is a revised metric system accepted worldwide by scientists.

SI Units

The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin (K).
Other temperature scales include Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
SI units are used for various physical quantities, including length, mass, time, temperature, and amount of substance.

Mass and Weight

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, determined using a balance.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
The mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of substance, representing a specific number of entities (atoms, molecules, etc.).
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.

Measurement Uncertainty

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement or calculation is to the true or accepted value.
Precision describes the closeness of multiple measurements to each other.

Energy

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.
Work is done when a force is exerted over a distance.
All forms of energy can be converted from one to another, following the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Types of energy include kinetic (motion), radiant (solar), thermal (random motion of atoms and molecules), chemical (stored within substances), and potential (associated with relative positions of atoms).

Change in Internal Energy

The change in internal energy (△U) of a system is the difference between its final (Uf) and initial (Ui) internal energies.
△U can also be calculated by adding the heat (q) transferred to the system and the work (w) done on the system: △U = q + w.

Work and Heat

Work in thermodynamics encompasses mechanical, electrical, and surface work.
Mechanical work often involves the expansion or compression of gases.
Heat is energy transferred between objects at different temperatures.
Both work and heat are not state functions, meaning their values depend on the path taken during a process.

Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry studies the relationship between heat and chemical reactions.
The change in internal energy (△U) of a system can be positive (energy absorbed) or negative (energy released).
The heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.
Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic function related to the heat absorbed or released during a process at constant pressure.

Solubility Curve

A solubility curve graphically displays the relationship between the solubility of a substance and temperature.

Isolated Systems

An isolated system does not exchange mass or energy with its surroundings.
