    Study Notes

    Energy and Thermodynamics

    • Energy is the ability to do work and is essential for life and modern society.
    • Energy is used by every living organism to perform different sustaining functions.
    • In chemistry, energy comes from chemical reactions, which obey the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of energy.

    The First Law of Thermodynamics

    • The energy relationships and changes involved in chemical reactions are as important as mass relationships when studying matter.
    • Most chemical reactions occur with the absorption or release of energy in the form of heat.
    • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between substances or matter at different temperatures.

    Thermal Energy and Temperature

    • Temperature is distinct from heat; it is defined as the manifestation of thermal energy.
    • Thermal energy is the energy involved in the random motions of atoms and molecules.

    Thermochemistry

    • Thermochemistry is the study of energy changes in chemical reactions, typically in Joules (J), the SI unit of energy.
    • The field involves quantities of heat and work.

    Systems in Chemical Reactions

    • The system is the part of the universe that is studied, and the rest of the universe is considered the surroundings.
    • There are three types of systems: open systems, closed systems, and isolated systems.

    Types of Energy Transfers

    • Exothermic processes release energy to the surroundings, while endothermic processes absorb energy from the surroundings.

    The First Law of Thermodynamics (continued)

    • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
    • The exact energy (internal energy) of a system cannot be determined, but changes in energy states can be determined.

    Internal Energy

    • The internal energy of a system is only concerned with the initial and final states, and it is a state function.
    • The internal energy has two components: potential energy and kinetic energy.
    • Potential energy is determined by the attractive and repulsive interactions of electrons and nuclei, as well as intermolecular interactions.
    • Kinetic energy is described by the random molecular motions and electron movement within molecules.
