Uncertainty in Measurement (Section)
What is the number of significant figures in each of the following measured quantities? (a) 601 kg, (b) 0.054 s (c) 6.3050 cm (d) 0.0105 L (e) 7.0500 * 10-3 m3, (f) 400 g.
Chapter 14 First Law of Thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed - Chemical Reaction: system (the reaction itself) & surroundings (beaker, solvent, etc.) Spontaneous Processes: a process that DOES occur under a specific set of conditions without ongoing outside intervention. - ex: combustion of methane Nonspontaneous Process: a process that does NOT occur under a specific set of conditions Entropy: Qualitative - Entropy (S): a measure of how dispersed the system’s energy is. By removing the barrier the energy that was contained becomes dispersed throughout the container [Figure 14.1]
