Document Summary

= the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles making up the system. = a state function, therefore it is a property of a system only depends on its present state (not the path taken to get there) which is completely determined by variables such as pressure and temperatures. + u sys = when the reaction absorbs energy, and surroundings lose energy (an energy-absorbing process). U sys = when the reaction releases energy, and the surroundings gain energy (an energy releasing process). U can change by four different ways: heat loss from system to surroundings ( t is ve), -q, heat gain of system from surroundings ( t is +ve), +q, work done by system (expansion of gas moles), -w. V = +ve, p v = +ve: work done on system (compression of gas moles), +w. Work = w (energy used to move an object against an opposing force)
