Study Notes
Calorimetry and Energy Density
- A calorimeter can be calibrated using a known heat input; for instance, 100.0 J raises the temperature by 0.850°C.
- Energy density of a fuel is calculated using temperature changes; burning 0.245 g of fuel resulted in a 5.23°C increase.
Methane and Enthalpy
- Burning 1 mole of methane (CH4) releases 890 kJ of energy at constant pressure.
- ΔH can be calculated by scaling the energy released based on the mass burned; for a 5.8-g sample, calculations are required to find the specific ΔH value.
Specific Heat Calculation
- Heating a 24.0-g aluminum can raises its temperature by 15.0°C; calculate value of q using q = mcΔT.
Heat Capacity of Water
- Molar heat capacity of water is 75.3 J/mol K; if 37.5 g of water cools from 42.0 to 7.0°C, q for water can be derived through the formula accounting for mass and temperature change.
Forms of Energy
- Chemical energy examples include batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
- Nuclear energy is stored in atomic nuclei; large energy release occurs during fusion or fission.
- Kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 mv²) is the energy of motion for waves, atoms, and objects.
- Radiant energy includes electromagnetic waves like visible light and x-rays.
- Thermal energy comes from atomic and molecular movement; geothermal energy is a form of thermal energy.
- Mechanical energy refers to energy due to motion, utilized in machines.
- Electrical energy is carried by electrons; it can transform from other energy forms, such as chemical energy in power plants.
- Sound energy results from vibrations and requires a medium (air, water, etc.) for travel.
Energy Sources
- Sources of energy categorized into renewable (wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal) and non-renewable (oil, coal, natural gas).
- Renewable resources regenerate quickly; non-renewable sources can deplete.
Energy Transformations
- Combustion converts chemical energy to heat and light; batteries convert chemical to electrical energy.
- Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy, while hydroelectric facilities convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Energy can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed; the total energy in a closed system remains constant.
- Energy in dynamite changes from chemical to kinetic, heat, and light upon explosion.
Endothermic vs. Exothermic Reactions
- Endothermic: heat absorbed, feels cold, requires energy, order decreases (ΔS < 0), increase in enthalpy (+ΔH).
- Exothermic: heat released, feels warm, spontaneous reactions, entropy increases (ΔS > 0), decrease in enthalpy (-ΔH).
Specific Heat Definition
- Specific heat capacity (c) is the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by 1°C.
- The relationship is expressed as Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is temperature change.
- Molar heat capacity indicates heat needed to raise 1 mole of a substance by 1°C; the formula adjusts for moles rather than mass.
