Different forms of energy: potential energy: energy possessed by a body, kinetic energy: energy of motion, heat. In general, energy is measured in units of joules (j) System: is that part of the universe on which our attention is focused. We consider the reactants and products of a chemical reaction to be our system. Surroundings: the materials in close contact with the system. Surroundings can exchange energy with the system. State: of a chemical system is described by giving its composition, temperature, and pressure. - state properties: depend only on the state of the system. For a state property x we can say that. -for a state property x, x is independent of the path used to get from xinitial to xfinal. Chapter 4. 2 enthalpy, direction and sign of heat flow.
